Following with great interest. I do like my uco's I'd never heard of a UCO candlelier, but this intrigues me. No I'd not heard of them either , I was trying to work out what UCO stood for and ended up googling it :cry: Some years ago a friend and myself set up a little candle making exercise thinki...

I know the sort you mention and wouldn’t be surprised if they were armed as well so could pretty much corner the market so to speak. A customer of mine has a terrier that is always on the lookout for rabbits and has caught a number . Getting her to drop the rabbit is another thing and when she final...

Check out Gamekeeper John on YouTube (based in the UK) for hunting  with a slingshot. I brought home a pheasant today from my morning dog walk, 12mm BB to the head. If nothing else this does demonstrate the need to practice with one’s choice of weapon , practice , practice , practice. I’m decent wi...

Not wanting to piss on anyone’s bonfire but this idea of going out hunting with a bow or whatever is close to being a prepper fantasy. Hunting anything large is going to take a decent poundage bow not the lightweight ones most use . I’ve got a 70lb longbow that might just be ok but I’ve also got a c...

Since answering this thread I’ve been pondering on the question and have come to a conclusion that the question itself is a bit too vague to give a proper answer. This one rather assumes everything else stays pretty much the same and we just stop going out of the house.. As with a lot of things prep...

I don’t throw anything out! It has to have legs and walk away by itself. I’m with you on the tins front though I’ve never made it to 12 years … I bet it didn’t taste that much different? If anything it was better than I remember . I never really liked rice pudding as a kid . It was a texture thing ...

12 Years is impressive. My oldest is about 7 years past. I've had rice pudding and carnation milk go brown in the tin. We tried it cautiously , it smelt and looked fine and then a taste of a little . When we decided it was fine we ate it . I tend to avoid damaged tins of course . Funny you should m...

To be honest I can’t really say for sure , probably around three months although it does depend on the time of year and what is in the garden . How well do we rotate ? Reasonably well but of course there’s always the odd hiccup . We pulled a tin of rice pudding out of the back of the cupboard recent...

I hate the waste so yes I’m uneasy about it. Going a bit off topic but there’s also some in the group who are really fussy with food too saying how any food with a short bb date should just be chucked “ because it’s cheap enough to just replace” . Needless to say it doesn’t get chucked it comes to o...

I’ve made these as part of the re-enactment I do . I’d heard t something people saying they smell but I’ve never noticed anything too objectionable. It might be when using old used cooking fat that some smell may occur . They don’t last as long as a candle although to be fair while I’ve never tried ...
