Have used Mercator pocket knives for nearly 50 years. Farm, general use and hunting. I’m hard on knives and the only problem I’ve ever had with them is losing a couple. As stated on another thread...

A long time ago I decided I'd like to hand down my old Ruger 308 to my boy which has a lot of sentimental value to me. I had bought the rifle second hand off my uncle in my late teens and it had...

I'm stunned that fuel economy in modern 4x4's is this 'poor' for want of a better term. In the mid 90's I rebuilt a series III stage1 v8 Land rover. So permanent 4x4. Dropped a 6.5L V8 diesel out...

Get your kid a pocket size book of native trees, I did this for my boys and they love looking for and identifying trees and bushes. You can also get pocket sized books of native birds.
