Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
Hard to describe but here goes - I use Y shaped pegs (when looked at end-on). I have drilled a small hole in one of the fins to take a loop of paracord.
I will try the luminous loops out during next season and see how they fare with regard to dirt, wear and ongoing visibility.
Sudden flash of inspiration!!!
You can get the packs of louminous (?) guy lines quite cheaply these days. How about cutting short lengths and tieing loops to your pegs? Brightly coloured by day and reflective under tourch light by night.
This probably won't stop certain persons tripping on your...
Tony, sorry its taken sooo long to get around to it, but thanks for making Harrys 16th birthday so memorable for him (not a date to forget easily >:op ) at the Moot this year.

IMHO
In your specific position, you could do a lot worse than to join IOL (Institute for Outdoor Learning), join their Bushcraft/Survival special interest group and sign up to one of John Ryders (level 3 or above) courses.
Like me, I don't think you will regret it. Even taking into account...
Hi George,
Great review, thanks for your frank and open opinions on my targets. I hope they give you years of faithful service.

I like what you are saying Rich.
I am aiming to get a larger tarp over the winter (I currently use an '8 tarp) and am looking at the separate ridgeline/tarp setup scenario. I am a big fan of knots and only use Ribena's to act as a drip loop on my DD (my Hennesy has a snakeskin).
Any comments...
Great tutorial Chris,
As an adendum. I tend to leave my ridgeline attached to my tarp. When packing I fold the whole thing and roll toward the ridge and then leave one end of my ridgeline (always the same one) hanging out of the bag. I then wrap this around the bag and tuck the end under...
Hi Tony, Put me down officially for a place.
Just in case Pom3 put his confirmation in the wrong place (which he thinks he did), reserve one for him too.

I've done it once, just for the hell of it!
Filled a 1kg Quality street tin (with a hole in the bottom middle) the with bark curled in a circle or concentric circles (apparently ensuring that the bark was all up the same way it was on the tree).
Dug a small hole to take a tin mug and set the...

ME, ME, ME, ME, ME
I WANT TO COME, CAN I COME? I WANT TO COME, CAN I COME?
(calming down now that I have your attention)
Where can I find details of the trip?
My thoughts on hammocks.
IMO the carrabina is a must. If for nothing else to act as a drip loop in bad weather to stop the rain running down the line and soaking the top and tail of your hammock.
I tend to place my pack at my head end, on the floor under the hammock. If it all goes wrong my...
