you should be toasty! how thick is your foam mat? I find that some head support helps a little, a balaclava can be useful to take the draft off your face and stop you from burying your head in the bag. Also be aware that having too many layers on in the bag can stop heat getting into the bags...

I tell a lie! there is a distinct woodland that lies south of the first, the other two follow a rough line going west.

Hi guys! I was wondering if any of you have seen a lot of roe deer around lately? I was out for walks in three small woods that are close to one another on consecutive days last week, the first time a buck and doe, the second a buck and doe, and the last a solitary buck. Is it a busy time of...

virtually any meat/fish cooked on a spit, particularly fresh trout and rabbit!! if its a posh un maybe some honey to glaze :D

green ginger wine/whiskey mac will keep your cockles warm :)

just awesome. Fog is a thing of beauty especially in a morning.

these are really great for fast and light, I love mine to bits! so quite and comfortable, no stiffness like you get from other shell jackets. Great hood too.

survival for me is, well, surviving outdoors... bushcraft, for me, is enjoying outdoors! I think the boundary between the two disappears when you enjoy surviving outdoors- take the '5 items' challenge for example!

great video guys! lo0oks like you all had a great time! re. fox hunting, i saw an episode of river cottage where he was paid to be chased by the dogs? basically they were allowed to sniff him for a good few minutes, then he had a head start over the fields then they gave chase.

sorry buddy not this time :) if you still have it when his birthday turns up you will have a pm ;)

evil weavers! caught one at brid pier when I was younger, seen a few rock pooling too. Most of the perch family (inc. bass) have the same spiny fins and sharp gills. Pike obviously have teeth pretty much any place in their mouth, you can cut yourself very easily even when chinning them out...

tis a shame, my paps is a David but I have already purchased his xmas present! :(

If it were a 3x3 tarp with a synthetic bag I would be tempted to say nay... a bin bag over the footwell have worked for me in the past!

cheers for the help guys, that tutorial was very helpful!

cheers lads :) I like both ideas- hetzen I have just read it for the third time and I now understand what you are describing! I like it! How would you go about tying a pole on the inside of the tarp?

any suggestions? using two trekking poles, 6 pegs and as much 2mm cord as you want. I was thinking pegging a corner down windward, and the opposite corner with a pole on the leeward side with a ridgeline inbetween, peg the other conrners down and have two guys pegged off the front pole...

its definately for out and about but I dont think I can be bothered to make a haft everytime im out! nevermind that I wouldnt know where to start with making one. true, longstrider, was just thinking in terms of efficiency and to perhaps build up a store. I've never tried a wooden wedge before...

lentils, noodles and spaghetti cook relatively quickly :) theres also porridge, you can buy the flavoured ones for variety. If you can be bothered you can dehydrate your own stuff like fruit and veg, which you could add to noodles etc. Same goes for meats too, even fish. A couple of ziplock bags...

cheers gents! so how come the small rather than the hatchet or large? just because of middle ground? I've got an SFA at the mo which packs perfectly im not sure how well the small splitter at 60cm will pack
