    Midges and mozzies in Scotland - crikey

    If I had a pound for every repellent that has been recommended to me and didn't work i'd be rich by now. I'f I could find one that actually did work I'd be even richer. The fact is that none of these chemicals were ever developed specifically to deal with the midge,they are usually made to repel...

    Which axe ?

    ;)Just a wee observation I made recently,with regards axe size and weight. My mate Ian and I were camping last week Ian is 6 foot 5" and weighs 25 stone he wields my 3 and a half pound "full size" axe like a hatchet with one hand so it's all relative really. Top tip take a huge friend with you...

    Kit thats come and gone ...

    I posted the kit I no longer use and the reasons why, It's all just a matter of preference and opinion. if the inflatable mat and honey stove were the only items i had to choose from then that's what i'd use. there must be plenty of members who've had to make do and mend or borrow gear over the...

    Kit thats come and gone ...

    I nominate the "honey stove" for being too fiddly to put together,especially with cold hands. I like the concept but it would be so much easier if the corners were hinged. Mine now lives in the cupboard of remorse and I take a converted cutlery strainer instead

    Kit thats come and gone ...

    I just went back to using a foam mat as i was fed up fixing punctures on my alpkit inflatable. Nothing wastes a good nights kip like having to F around in the middle of the night with glue and patches and a headlight when all you want is to sleep.

    Anyone used the Condor Sapien?

    Hi Will, I personally found the handle too short and too narrow, the small finger choil didn't help either. Don't misunderstand me it's a solid wee knife and a capable user, but if it had just been a bit bigger it would have suited me fine. My pal owns it now and he loves it but he has small...

    Anyone used the Condor Sapien?

    The handle is very small. I have large-ish hands and found it too small to be comfortable for any length of time, same with a mora classic no1. if you take a medium size glove or smaller it may be ok.The mora robust handles fit me better. Not tried a classic no2 but i believe the handle is...

    How many axes do you presently own?

    Is this thread the start of a Gransfors haters society?:confused: when they are seperated from the rest of the count. Just curious to know where this shift of consensus came from as a couple of years back most people were touting them as the dogs doo dahs. I'm always the last to jump on any...

    Inflatable canoe

    Agree with bluffer get a good PFD before going on the water it's a must. try some on before you buy if you can, and make sure it will hold your head above water when soaking wet. Be safe dude and have fun.
