Trying to stay flexible as I approach 61, forget those BS ads for getting fit.

Some countries you need to beware of just picking up flat objects from the ground because there could be something nasty waiting for you. In this case we were lucky just a big spider whose venom is not dangerous to humans.

Knowing whether your PCP airgun really has the guts to hunt with could not be simpler and you don't need a Chronograph either!

Solar watches are they any good? The answer is YES of you keep them charged adequately, you will get many ears out of them. My oldest Citizen Eco drive is now close to 24 years old and still going (albeit minus the bezel, lost on a deserted Australian beach LOL in the surf).

A while back we cut some giant bamboo on a friend's farm. Not a bamboo farm/plantation, it was growing wild. We later used it to cook with on a camping trip.

Shooting 23gr slugs from a REXIMEX RP 0.22 Cal PCP pistol. Yes, It can be done. We tested this without cheating, just out of the box, no regulator adjustment and it grouped within a 4cm circle at 25m. This is pretty poor but remember the rifle/pistol was handheld and it was untuned for slugs.

Recently, a friend gave us some prime cuts he took from a deer he shot not two weeks ago. This is how i prepared one portion, so as not to "crucify it"! Enjoy!

Get out of the screen and into the wilderness for real adventure.

These cheapo rubber exercise bands are the go

REXIMEX RP 0.22 Cal made in Turkey, basically a copy (looks pretty good) of the Russian made ATAMAN P16

A superb mega tasty chicken dish/recipe I prepared then cooked outside in the Australian evening Summer heat! Preparing for making Black Bean Chicken, cooked outside on a small gas burner. Chicken fillets Garlic Shallots coriander mushrooms Soya sauce Black beans, soak in water for 30 minutes, rinse then cover with about 15-20ml of fresh water Pumpkin good quality Veg oil or peanut oil Follow video and you can't fail. Don't forget to taste as you go along to check for the right amount of salt etc. A dash of shrimp paste. (very salty but adds a great subtle taste to any meat dish). How to cook black bean chicken

Impress your date with some simple but fancy cooking! Here I prepare a gado gado (from Indonesia), Soba (cooked in a soya sauce/pork meat broth) and grilled duck fillets! This fantastic super delicious recipe could not be easier and is light on the stomach, plus healthy (if you don't eat the duck fat LOL!).

Here is a different kind of Spring roll recipe, made with rehydrated tofu skins as the wrapping material, instead of a wrap made from wheat flour. It is tastiest with pork mince but equally beef mince could be substituted.

Mankung Mirage 70lb compound Bow. XLNT value for money, zero vibration shooting, barrel nuts, and CNC-ed cams. I can't fault it.

Here I show how I stuffed a game bird. Nice and plump wild dove (actually a Wood Pigeon- Columba Palumbus), totally organic, catch and cook. This is a delicious recipe and highly suited to wild game birds. Wood pigeons unlike quail have a very meaty body (big breast meat) with a flesh which is better than duck in my opinion when correctly prepared. They are easier too to prepare although more difficult to hunt (i'm not talking about birds hanging around grain silos) IMHO.

Wild mushroom Omelette. We picked some almost out of season Fairy ring Champignon mushrooms Marasmius oreades from a local cow paddock. These mushrooms sort of self preserve when they dry out naturally can be re-hydrated and used in many dishes. They are extremely aromatic and add a fantastic flavour to many dishes including a simple omelette!

We revisited an old but good sustainable hunting site after a two year absence. Alas, it had been hunted out and this was really annoying as this was clearly due to greedy hunters.

A 200 kg plus chunk of Petrified tree trunk whilst out bike riding. Partially excavated by us we will come back with a tractor to pull this magnificent piece of fossilised wood out of the river bank.

Today I will show you how to prepare a traditional Bulgarian snack food. It is called Mekitza (Мекица и Кафе). Great with coffee and good way to start the morning (if you are doing a lot of exercise, otherwise this type of food is extremely unhealthy LOL! Here I prepare them over a wood burning stove, essentially because we ran out of bread and breakfast oats! They are super easy to prepare! Enjoy!

gỏi cuốn or Vietnamese rice wrapper rolls are super great finger food or party food where one can make their own "custom" food. Essentially these are rehydrated rice and or tapioca starch wrappers, which can be filled (BUT not overfilled) with the fillings of your choice. They provide a slightly chewy tasty sensation when filled with seafood, chicken beef or pork etc or even vegetarian stuffing such as tofu etc. In this recipe, I used slow cooked chicken, recipe to follow on the Fu King Cooks

So simple, oven baked trout

How to prepare gourmet sausage rolls. No shop bought rubbish full of saw dust! Bake for 30 minutes at 120C, then at 200 for 5-6minutes. Depending upon the thickness of the roll, check that the meat mixture juices run clear by stabbing the roll with a skewer or similar.

There are many telling you, one must cut up a pomelo like an orange in order to eat it. Nothing could be further from the truth. Take the effort and peel it like a giant orange, remove all of the "white stuff" from the actual fruit (which can either look slightly greenish/yellow or a pink coloration (similar to a pink grapefruit). The Pomelo tastes nothing like an orange or a grapefruit and as such as a distinct refreshingly sweet taste. There are several cultivars available. Both greenish/yellowish fruits can be just as sweet as the pink ones. Once peeled they should be consumed within 24 hours and if you want to keep it for the next day, place the peeled segments in an airtight container in the fridge overnight but really no longer. Served on their own or with seafood, Pomelos are great!

Testing out the area for gold and just enjoying the bush.

Enjoy the slow pace of Turkish Coffee and bacon BBQed in the bush.
