I also have a Tera Nova Quasar and like everyone says, it is bomb proof - a real high quality tent. A word of warning about the 'Ultra' version though. When I bought my tent I considered the lighter 'Ultra' version but the sales assistant advised me that the weight saving is made by using a...

Surely that was what Scouting was entirely about? Baden-Powell came back from his campaigns and found the kids in Britain in a very bad way. Most were poor, living in slums, un-educated and forced into work form an early age. They smoked and drank and generally had poor health. BP got them...

Nope. I've been a Leader for 15 years and am as atheist as they come. To get back on subject, did anyone listen to the new Bear Grylls on Jo Wiley's radio show? I think he came across as very passionate and enthusiastic about being the new Chief Scout. Less about knowning the Promise and...

He's on Radio 1 at 12 ...

According to the press release, Bear Grylls will focus on 'increasing Scoutings national profile', whilst a chap called Wayne Bulpitt will focus on 'mangaing and leading the movements Leaders and Volunteers'. Seems like a good idea to me. Leaving aside what people think about his TV shows...

Thank you for your replies. I've just done a search and there are oodles of threads on Dutch Ovens - sorry if I'm going over old ground!

Hi, I wonder if any members can offer advice on what size Dutch oven I should buy? Being a Scout Leader, I do most of my camping\bushcrafting in a group environment and this makes me think I should buy the largest pot I can find - something like a 9 litre. Would this be too big though for...

I shouldn't have read this post! I chopped my left index finger last weekend splitting whilst splitting wood (broke the golden rule of not holding the piece of wood you are chopping :rolleyes: ). It's not a big cut, but it is deep and I'm pretty sure I saw bone before the claret started...

They've dropped the price again - only £10 now!

I hope you're all pleased with your purchases. I'm really impressed with my shirts. They were a good price, tough, hard-wearing, nice colours (I hate camo!) and really comfortable to wear. I've practically lived in mine! Mat

The Curragh shirt made by Craghoppers is an excellent item of clothing and since they are currently only £20 in the Craghoppers sale I thought I'd post a quick heads up\mini review. They are made from heavyweight cotton twill and are designed as a "hard-working overshirt". Features include...

Here's an idea I had recently that I hope someone may find useful. I really enjoy carving spoons but one thing I always struggle with is keeping them in proportion. I just don't have a natural eye for such things and I always end up with with an enormous bowl and tiny handle or vice versa...

Is it just me, or have Tentipi changed the names of their Tipi's? http://www.stunningtents.co.uk/Sales/Safir_CP.asp

I really enjoyed it. In my book, all of Ray's programmes are excellent and never fail to inspire me. Thanks to a life long involvment in Scouting, outdoor pursuits are in my blood. I have Ray (and the BBC programme 'Tracks') to thank for my interest in Bushcraft and I always look forward to...

Thank you for your replies and suggestions - much appreciated. Thermos\Aladdin flask is a good idea Spamel, but I think they have plastic stoppers?? I like your spice pots Jared, but I really wanted something with a clip-on or threaded lid. I have been using a shoe tin as a temporary...

I have a tradition of always saving some ash from a campfire which I keep until my next outing. I then sprinkle the ash over the new campfire, thus ensuring 'the spirit of the fire never dies' (a bit soft I know, but I've been doing it for years and I'm a sucker for things like that :rolleyes: )...

Any guesses as to what his 'exciting new project' is? How about a 'Strictly come Bushcrafting' show?

Mr Mears was on the Edith Bowman show this afternoon. You can hear the whole interview here: http://www.radio1movies.com/2008/05/ray-mears-meets.html
