Does anyone know of a dye shade that is a dead match more or less for the rust brown colour of dead bracken that is littering our forests now? I want to dye some tan M65 trousers to match the forest floor/dead bracken colour. I want it to be a pretty long lasting/permanent colour. What is the...

For all those owners of the Solihull Spawn Of Satan, I have a couple of questions. Does the 200TDi have a foldable front window like the earlier TD models? I understand the 300 TDi does not?? How does this work? If the doors were removed, would this leave a frame upright, or would the...

Anyone who knows who Kassai Lajos is would like to see these vids of him doing a demonstration: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8a1AszGklc&mode=related&search= (hint, he made the bow for the Robin the Hoddy trash)

I got a great email from him last year after reading the book, and have just received another concerning the awaited sequel.. Well here it is: http://www.eye-books.com/YukonGoldminingClub/

Back in the early 90's when i lived in Oslo for a while, my forlovede knitted me a traditional Norwegian jumper which I still have. The shops then were selling them at about £250!! The question is, does anyone, particularily our Norsk friends, know of any online retailers? So far the only one i...

Made me chuckle after a very busy day in the morgue: http://www.3dweb.no/galleri/stuestolbm/bilder/anim1.swf

Question 1. What is the best way to wash ventile with minimal disturbance to the proofing agent and what soap to use? Question 2. My girly bought herself a nice as new Goretex jacket for £2 in her charity shop she works in... She then shoved it in the machine on a cool wash with all her...

Ok, not quite bushcraft, unless you like eating everything.... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/from_our_own_correspondent/5371500.stm

Where oh where can I get a suitable sized wood rasp for cutting the nocks on the bow? I've tried all the usual suspects and a few smaller tool shops but nothing but huge ones or needle files for metal. I know they exist as i have scrounged them in the past, but where can I get one now, and what...

Ok, maybe not quite the right place, but you lot seem to know about these things so here goes... Have recently started growing some cherry tomato plants from seeds (plum and round) that I dried, in a trough in the kitchen window. Used commercial all pupose compost. Now i might have slightly...

I've been knocking up (sorry...) a longbow made from ash backing and walnut belly of about 72" which just about reaches my draw of 30" (next one will be longer to make the draw more 'comfortable' for the wood). Trouble is, that the lower arm is definitely stiffer than the top. The lower arm...

Ok, so I have my cool Rab bag for the winter and cold bits of spring and autumn, but I kind of need a decent compact lightweight summer bag. I'm a cold sleeper so the smaller of the snugpaks are out, but the Softie Elite range looks interesting and I think the number 2 model suits my...

Well a while ago I mentioned that I hang my hammock with a simple single bow at each end. Well I finally got around to taking a pic to prove it thus: and a close up: As can be seen, the lines are passed around the poor unsuspecting tree at chest height and carried UNDER each other...

Don't laugh, but I've never found any before, which is a shame as I love raspberries but perish the thought at Tescos' prices. However whilst out in Savernake Forest today (below Marlborough, Wiltshire) I discovered that most of the undergrowth where I go is actually wild raspberry and it is...

http://www.gamefair.co.uk/2006/ Just noticed this game fair, sold as the biggest etc etc. Lots of outdoors events and stalls. Bound to be plenty to keep the kit junkies happy... I might trip on down for the archery and flyfishing stuff. It's happening at Broadlands, Romsey, down South..
