    hanging tarp with no trees.

    You can set up a tarp without any trees with lots of different pieces of kit - just think about what you have already and look around at the ground you get to. If you have a rucksack, pitch the tarp straight over it and I'm sure you will gain enough room to sleep underneath, I've used this...

    UK Made - fire resistant windproof/waterproof

    Hey - Seems I worded it terribly! I'm not planning on being 'IN' the fire, I mean, I have had Gore-tex/nylon/melty jackets for all my outdoor related trips, but having used older jackets that end up with singe marks and burn holes etc. I wanted a ventile/cotton/waxed jacket that would be good...

    Sticky weed noodles with wild garlic and nettle pesto...

    Loving all the options for foraged nuts - will have to keep an eye out for some cob nuts or pig nuts. Had a less foraged and more 'fun' cooking task last night with my explorers, organised by another leader: Damper twists! Self raising flour, butter, milk, sugar. Make into a dough - one cup...

    Sticky weed noodles with wild garlic and nettle pesto...

    Had a great evening last week with my Explorer Scouts experimenting with Nettles (We had a 'Nettle appreciation' evening). As a group we made Nettle cordage and Nettle tea, but the best bit was the Nettle, Garlic, Pine Nut and Parmesan pesto. We cooked up some normal pasta noodles and had a...

    Hey 'brambles' - It was a specially added snow valance for Alex Hibberts Dark Ice expedition to Greenland. If you need snow valances added it is something we can do, but works out expensive as the yardage of fabric and the time to do them adds up quick! For UK use, all year round, and in fact...

    Hey Tallywhacker, I understand about the negatives - everyone should know everything! The cost for the phlask is just based on production, we make very little on it - but we love the look and also as you said the multi-use functions, maybe I should give it another look? Jay

    Thanks for all the feedback! In reply to Tallywhacker - the thinner titanium is all about lightweight, as a company we stem from the Alpine/mountaineering world where every gram is counted and are constantly compared with other manufacturers. We are bringing out more cookware, including some...

    Hey Rhyan, What do you think caused the wet tarp? Was it just the weather, as I was out the same weekend and was pretty damp just walking about in the drizzle/cloud I seemed to be in all day! Jay
