    Basic kit for beginner

    Excellent. Didn't think about a hip flask. Will pick up a shemagh at my local surplus as they aren't very expensive there last time i looked. I got a first aid kit. so will pack it into a small custom one to carry. Forgot all about a sewing kit.

    Basic kit for beginner

    Yeah i used on a fishing trip in kent. It is slow but boiled water for coffee and managed to cook noodles and pepperoni as well. Do you have to use the brass burner or can it be put on the fire? I now you can hang the pot but can whole stove go on?

    I like the sound of them. plus your mates can sit under them and a have a beer or two. I take it they can be put up without trees using poles etc? Like the link from the decathlon site you sent me. That looks pretty good.

    Basic kit for beginner

    Yup totally agree. I love the army surplus, as I hunt a lot I tend to visit them a pick up some greats stuff. I have a fleece and camo jacket that keeps me warm, and a norgie which I wear fishing and hunting as they seem to be amazing at keeping the heat trapped in. I have a set of waterproofs...

    I have about three axes here that i use for chopping firewood and clearing trees where we live but they are awful. They don't keep and edge at all and are annoying to sharpen. Think I'll purchase one of those saws as i've been looking at them for a while. I like the idea of the £5 knife...

    Basic kit for beginner

    Right, managed to get a Bivvi bag today just in case. Still not sure what shelter to go for. I don't think a hamock will be ideal for where I'm likely to be camping as I kayak to alot of places they don't always have trees and are usually on small beaches. Not sure if I should go for a tarp or...

    What not to do

    Was in the Cubs/scouts as a kid also but they seemed more interested in playing games and doing meaningless drill than actually show us anything. Never got to learn how to make fire, shelter etc. It's sad when I think back one person had it all shut down because her son was bullied ( we were...

    Basic kit for beginner

    Hi everyone, I'm new to Bushcraft and to the forum. I have been building up a few bits of kit when I can afford it mainly using some of the recomended stuff in the SAS survival guide (not sure if this is a good or bad thing). Does anyone have any suggestions for a basic kit/setup for a...

    Lidl heads up

    I have the extending net from there as it was cheap and use it for congering hussing. The chemical lights are really good for the money.
