Leaving Saturday afternoon was a bit of a downer, but in a way I'm kinda glad I did. Would have been no fun under my basha that night! Simon.

I like your thinking. :D ;) Simon.

Uless you're putting your line around a tree... :D :D Simon.

All you need to do is add a draw loop when tying the knot, it's very quick to undo then. I always do this when setting out the guys on my basha if I'm using paracord instead of bungees. Another thing you can do is put a small twig in the draw loop and pull it tight, this stops you pulling it...

Hi, I took my Swedish mess kit to Sweden earlier this month with no problems at all, the US might be a different thing though. All I did was to burn it until it was dry and put it in my checked luggage. I bought fuel out there and burnt the burner dry for my return, again no problem. If...

Those pictures take me right back. There were some amazing sunsets as well as some amazing mornings. The foggy morning was fantastic with everything slowly coming into view as the fog burned off. All the Instructors were great and the place is stunning to say the least, if you get the...

Looking good Andy, well done mate. Simon.

I like the tripod idea, very simple and effective. Simon.

I'm gonna be doubly carfeull now, that hurt just reading what happened! Ouch!!! :eek: Hope it heals quickly. Simon.

Do you mean Fabsil? Try google, this was the first hit, with plenty more if you don't trust these people. http://www.surplusandoutdoors.com/ishop/877/shopscr34.html Simon.

I wouldn't really call it a mod. The only photo's I've got of the setup are on film so I'll scan them in if I get time. When they arrive the DD hammocks have a length of webbing at each end for attatching it to trees. All I have done is to reduce this webbing to a small loop at each end of...

Yes please for one of the army burners. PM sent. Simon.

I don't think you'll be disappointed. I've not got any experience of any of the other hammocks but I do have a DD and it's great. I've shortened the supplied tape to just a loop at each end and use some climbing tape and carabiners to hold it up. The carabiners also act as a barrier and...

Cheers, lots of good info in one place. I've cut and pasted this into a document that I can keep accessible. Never had a tick myself and having read here about them in the past I don't want one either! Thanks again. Simon.

How successfull would that be though? I'm only asking because hardly any ISP's use static addressing, the only one I know that does by default is Demon. In the days of dialup you were likely to get a different IP each time you connected, some broadband is the same, NTL for example. I guess...

Thanks guys, Open backed rivets are whats there already so I'll use some of those to repair it. ODG, I'd like to take you up on your offer if you have some suitable rivets, I'll PM you the details. :You_Rock_ The Leprovo site looks like one to bookmark. I'm working on my first knife...

On Sunday I got to use my SFA quite a bit while doing a bit of lane clearing on a byway near me. This was great and meant I was able to get a good feel for the axe over a few hours, what a great tool, very impressive. :) It kept its edge very well indeed cutting a selection Elder, Hawthorn and...

There are a couple on Evilbay at the moment. I got mine from there with Iodine too. Cheers, Simon

Great, I've got a sewing machine at home though I've only ever used it briefly. It got used to sew on a torn off guy line loop to an old tent I have, not pretty but it worked :D I'll have to call in the missus for advice on this I reckon. :) The gallery is something I should look into...

Joe, Cheers, photos would be great. Neil, do you have any piccys of your modified pack? Simon.
