Hi all, Thanks for the IDs - each time I learn a little more about what's good to eat (and what's not!) where I live. Very pleased to have managed to pick so many edible mushrooms. I just wish you'd all been with me so I could have shared them out as a little thank you :-) PS Yes, 4&5 turn...

Ha ha. I did - that's why I think they're parasols :lmao:

For what it's worth, pics 4 & 5 look like PARASOLS to me, but I might be dead wrong.

Help. I need mycological expertise to help me identify a load of mushrooms that I picked today. Here's the link. http://www.oldschooltimes.com/mushrooms/index.html I think there are three different kinds in total, possibly four. The tape measure is extended to 20cm, as a reference. Please ask...

Swift work, chaps. That took, ooh, all of 30 seconds to reply. It's better than carrying Richard Mabey around with me (and lighter too). Thank you. M.

Hi there. I've posted about a N. London / S. Herts meet in the past, and would love to come along next time. I live in East Barnet. Cheers Michael.

Dyed using woodland brown. Result similar to Mirius' - it's toned down the lighter colours, leaving just a muddy-looking pattern, which is much better. Used one pack (I didn't want to waste two packs in case it didn't work) and am relatively satisfied - I think two would have given me the...

Replied to PM.

Ach, I've got rucksacks aplenty, so I'll have to pass. Cheers for asking though...

bump-bump-bump.

Keen PM sent :-)

Oh, I have a Laplander saw already but really love the sheath. Would you sell it separately?

You can also get a variety of Smartphones now which allow you to link your phone with a GPS receiver using Bluetooth, so you can follow your progress on your phone.

I've got a Garmin Geko 201 and it ticks all my boxes - light, easy to use and relatively light on batteries. Links with a PC so I can upload/download routes. Perfect.

I also like the Indian boxed foil packs you get for a quid in Indian shops. Things like Chole, Tahka Dhal and my favourite, Chana Masala. Quick, easy, tasty and nutritionally sound. Yum. Only downside is sharing a tent later... ;-) Here's a pic. It's not the make I buy, but it's similar.

Swapped with the man from Somerset with the hammock and the faint smell of smoke!

Having a bit of a kit clear-out. Here's the latest addition (see here for previous stuff) It's a Stratus Trailstove and it's a great lightweight bushcraft and camping stove. I really like it, but I really do have stoves coming out of my ears, so it's got to go. Comes with tube for blowing...

What temperature does the Fjallraven go down to? I've had a look on their website but there's no info :-(

Quick one. I've got one of these bags, and I love the stretchy panels so you can sit cross-legged in it. Just passing - thought I'd stick in my two-penn'orth...
