Hi, I wonder if the collected wisdom of this site could help me with some advice please? I currently have a couple of air rifles on loan from a colleague on the understanding that if I like them, I`ll make him an offer, otherwise I`ll return them. A genorous loan and I`ve had them for a...

Yep - it is heavy, but then I never really intended to use it for backpacking - the honey stove looks good for that. True, its a one pan at a time size, but that also suits me for now - it all packs down into the size of an A4 note pad which is compact but has space to put enough fuel into to...

The two slings and two Krabs arrived safely this morning - thank you very much for the fast turn around. You were not kidding when you said the condition was "awesome" - I can hardly tell they have been used! Arrived in time to be added to my kit for our trip to Dartmoor later today -...

I`m getting better with knots - each time the forum has a thread like this I`m prompted to practice more and have some lengths of tape & rope here by my desk to loop round table legs, chairs and from a nail driven into one of the beams above my head - it can even be quite theraputic! But, for...
