Gives me a good idea this, i get quite a lot of belly button fluff, i'm going to collect this up over the next few months and keep it as tinder !

I bought the Banshee 200 over 12 months ago and am very pleased with it, it does have an inner and the ventilation is very good, i have used it in all conditions bar snow, i used it 2 weeks back on a particularly wet night in the lakes and had no issues with leakage or condensation, am i just...

Cool,This takes me back to my childhood staying at my uncles in Longton, we always had oatcakes with breakfast. I've not had them for probably 25 years :( I'm gonna have to make me some now, cheers for the tutorial.

I might be wrong but i had a quick look on the Tesco site and i think its this one. http://direct.tesco.com/product/images/?R=203-8191 http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.203-8191.aspx

Hi Scrogger, Yeah i kinda thought this rolling system must be something to do with shortening the bag as it cant really be anything else, i originally presumed it was some fancy way of packing it really small. I have now managed with brute force kneeling on the compression sack to get it down...

Hi all, I have just purchased a Snugpak Softie Chrysalis autumn bag http://www.supertent.co.uk/product_info.php?pName=snugpak-softie-chrysalis-autumn-3-season-bag-10c-extreme They claim a "unique rolling system" but i cant find what this is and there are no instructions, basically i can...

Hey Sparkplug, just read through your excellent thread on curing your own bacon. I will be having a go at that this week ready for a weekend trip to the lakes, great stuff thanks !

I laughed when i first saw this but its actually quite a novel idea. http://www.balloonbed.com/pictures.htm Very small and light as you would expect, not sure how practical it would be though. Anyone ever seen or used one ?

Hi Jim, I apreciate what your saying, i am trying to balance out the fact that i need to buy quite a lot of kit, at most i will be doing single night or weekend base camp or wild camp stays in the Lake District for hiking, also having 2 young kids i cant justify spending too much at the moment...

Thanks to Wistuart These bags look good http://www.snowandrock.com/Department/Mid-Season+Sale/Equipment/Starlite+1+MEQ0099.htm And also in Go Outdoors which is round the corner from me they are £63 - they however advertise a price guarantee where they...

After looking through the Vango range (Thanks Shewie) This one is starting to look favourite, packs reasonably small, decent weight,2-3 season and bang on my budget. http://www.outdoormegastore.co.uk/acatalog/Vango_Ultralite_300_Sleeping_Bag.html Please let me know what you think ? And...

Thanks guys, Having looked on the Alpkit site the SkyeHigh 800 looks like what i am after, its more than i had hoped to spend but i suppose you get what you pay for, unfortunately they seem to be out of stock. Any other recommendations on something similar ?

Hi i would apreciate any opinions on this bag. http://www.venturesport.co.uk/venturesport_product.asp?parseid=162 I am looking for something for hiking weekends, so light/small enough for my pack, mostly in Spring to Autumn and in a tent, although i hope to try hammock camping soon. I...

Condolancies on your loss Mistwalker. When you see fit, i would like to hear more on your toughts regarding bushcraft and survival techniques from an urban point of view, as its something that i have also become interested in, i think it could and probably will become more and more relevant...

Apologies to Chris G. Impending trip to the Lakes means i want one of these asap, so just ordered one from Endicotts. Many thanks for trying to sort the group buy out though, i have removed my name from the list which is now shown below. .Bigbear - 1 ZDP-189 - 1 potboiler - 1 harryhaller...

Just had a look around google and i like the look of the walk up Ben Chonzie fron Glen Turret, looks easy enough to drag the kids along too, thats one day out sorted then, Thanks for the info.
