Just wandering has anyone tried to turn a normal DPM army jacket into Wax Cotton since don’t want to be wearing my Driza-Bone jacket when hunting and my other waterproofs are either bright blue or light gray neither of which idea for stalking the bunnies.

I have recently got a Driza-Bone Original Wax Full Length Coat off e-bay but it a bit too long for me can anyone recommend a company that can professionally turn the jacket up about 3 inches then reproof?

Where is the best place to buy a leather billhook sheath for my Hampshire pattern billhook? It needs to look old fashioned since it’s an old bill hook.

Bought this a while back after months of searching for one big enough since most greatcoats only come in smaller sizes. I have a 48” chest and this fits me comfortably but only gets used once or twice a year if it snows so time to part with it for a wax cotton coat that would get used more since...

I'm off teaching at a scout camp this weekend in the new forest and wandering would I still be warm enough in a DD hammock and army sleeping bag without a under blanket or should I stick with a tent and roll mat? Also regarding hammocks what is the best way to pitch the tarp over it since...

I've been convinced (in other words talked to death before i submitted) to try geocaching since athough i have the New forest a few miles away I have not yet walked in it so bought a Garmin eTrex Venture HC GPS Receiver. Hopfully i'll get to use it doing some walking in the New Forest (if not...

I have a Thermarest Prolite 4 which i want to swap for a hammock please. Since although i like sleeping on the floor shareing my bivi bag with slugs and beetles has lost it's appeal so thought i'd try the hammock malarky to see if it's any better. The info from Thermarest says: The ProLite...

Just returned from the Fundamentals bushcraft weekend with www.naturescraft.co.uk in Wiltshire run by Andy Noble (Known as andyn on Bushcraft UK forums). Being new to the whole bushcraft thing I was a little apprehensive but glad I went on the course since met some great people on the course...

What shape would a billhook be in 1642? I do spoon carving with Mora carving knives which I justabout get away with period wise for living history but I normally shape thewood with a modern hand axe first which is wrong for the 17th Century so lookslike I need to get a billhook but it appears...

I'm after a Dutch oven so i can cook on the open fire rather than heating up my mess tins next to it. The Ronnie Sunshine ones seem cheap just under £30 but all i hear is bad reviews of them so what do others use and how much did they cost you?
