Is paypal the only way? I hate having to use those clowns. I've been faffed about way too often by them and hate internet banking. If this is the only way, please give me a day or so. Liam

Oooh vintage!!! Can I buy one please? PM me address details and I'll send you a tenner as it's for charidee :D Liam

Parachute material??? Better than the nylon issue one I had in 86!!! :D Liam

Awesome piece of kit, mine is from the 70's and I fell heir to it. Not used it in a while, will remedy that tomorrow! Thanks for this thread :-D Liam

I metal detect on the foreshore/beach (Crown property, free permit) especially after a bank holiday weekend. :D Work the bank holiday and take the day off afterwards. Quite financially rewarding. The law in England and Scotland differs slightly in regard to finds. I've never found a valuable...

Even a stood on/sat on/stamped on and strap compressed sleeping bag can still take up a lot of room (except those snugpack ones my son has) in a bergan. I open my sleeping bags up and use them like a sack, lining the inside of the bergan with them. Everything else I'm taking then gets placed...

Thanks for the info Dave. I agree about the cleaving and shaving, I know the Japanese traditional way is to square them and season them outside under cover, in all weathers, turning them every so often over a year or more before shaving to shape. This is a very long slow process as you can...

As far as I've been told; larch, oak and camphor depending upon availability and cost etc. These were sometimes also covered in strips of laquered bamboo. Liam

Hi Bob ***stands up from his plastic chair in the seated circle*** My name's Liam and I have about 11 or 12 rucksacks... ***sits down to group applause and welcoming comments*** I actually gave away a 120L PLCE bergan today. Ok, I know, I know, but it's a start. ***searches you tube for...

There's a tarmacadam'd pathway and a gravel path in to the area. Car parking would be in my street just next to it, in fact there's a choice of three streets next to it. I could get permission for overnight parking on the gravel access/delivery space at the entrance. Facilities - plenty of...

Wow, those are stunning! One of my hobbies is the study of pre-industrial Japan's military arts. The spear is something I've only briefly covered. A fascinating fact I learned about organised spear units was that ribbons, horse hair etc not only identified a specific unit, it also helped stop...

Aye, know what you mean. Good idea, not seen Toddy in a good few years. Meeting up a hill... better make it somewhere flat :D We have a wee wooded area under the Forth Road Bridge that the Ranger wants to see used more. I missed the trip to Wooplaw as well. My neice lives down that way and...

Hahahahahaa Goatboy/Colin!!! I now have a mental picture of a family's Sunday woodland stroll coming to a halt upon seeing what looks like the shuffling, hirpling, smoke wreathed cast of Britain's Hills Have Eyes. That's a great idea for a group, the best therapy for when folk are down is...
