Anybody else into stationary engines, or any kind of other engines? I picked up this 1943 J.A.P 2a yesterday.

Is anyone taking part, or has taken part in The Great Tommy Sleep Out? I fancy taking part with my son but the weather has been so awful and I'm also hesitant to ask people for money in the current economy,

I found this at the back of my gramps garage today and he said I could have it. I don't know a lot about it, I thought some here might be interested in seeing it.

After a nightmare time with car troubles, breaking down and having to get a Travelodge for a night, we finally made it to West Wales for a short break away. On Thursday we had an hour down on the beach and set up the Lavvu. The weather forecast showed a chance of rain, and I was hoping that it...

When most people think of Welsh mountains, they think either Snowden or the Brecon Beacons but whilst not quite as exotic, the Welsh Valleys has a lot to offer. So I've decided to explore more of my local area, the Welsh Valleys. This has been spurred on by my right hand man, my best friend...

Hi, I've never been much of a hat wearer and don't know a lot about the different styles of hat, but I fancy getting a hat. I want this style of hat in leather. I'm not looking to spend hundreds but was wondering if there are any small time hat makers that I should take a look at? Thanks.

MTP Goretex jacket Size Medium. I've owned this from new, I have used this coat but it really hasn't had a lot of use. It's been in the back of the cupboard for years simply because I outgrew it. Value £25~ I think is fair? I would like to swap for a Kelly Kettle, preferably the scout size...

I've bought 10m of Ripstop Nylon parachute material. I was wondering if anybody had made anything out of this material before and looking for ideas of what to make. I'm definitely going to be making some liners/dry bags and I was also thinking about making a 3m x 3m tarp. The material is so...

I decided to get out for a walk in the rain today. There is something particularly special about getting out in adverse weather. This woods/mountain is only a 5 minute drive from my house, and I'm ashamed to admit that the first time I have been up here was this year, 2024. I simply didn't...

I have a bit of a thing for military surplus and canvas shelters, they're cheap, fun and have more character than more modern tents. So I thought I would share my collection and would love to see and hear about what others have. I've got a British army basha, a couple of British army bivvies, 2...

Little walk out with my son today to some local woods, not too far but we set up a half Lavvu, cooked some lunch and hot chocolate on the Trangia and overall spent about 3 or 4 hours out. It was also my first time out with the karrimor sf Sabre 35. I really like this pack, although with the...

I made a start tonight on a backpack for my son. It's going to be a basic roll top with webbing on the outside to attach some bungee, another small pouch, first aid kit ect. if we so wish. He is only young so going to make it around a 10L or so capacity. If/when he gets tired of carrying it, I...

Hi, I have been looking for a new day pack and like the look of the Karrimor SF Sabre packs. Now I know that Sports Direct took over karrimor, and that Karrimor and Karrimor SF are sperate, but Sports Direct have Karrimor SF listed on their site. Presumably the Karrimor SF stuff listed on...
