    For Sale Handmade Bushcraft Tool Roll + ESEE 6 + Hultafors Agdor + Bahco Laplander

    I'm selling a custom bushcraft tool roll made by Half-Goat Leatherwork in Scotland (I believe Hamish now goes by the name Pictavia Leather). This will include all tools that were designed to fit inside it, including: - An ESEE 6P with custom stabilised Buckeye Burl scales. These match the...

    Hazard 4 Poncho Villa - AVOID!

    I have two softshell ponchos from Helikon-Tex that have survived rainstorms and been completely leak proof after constant heavy rain over a period of days, both worn and used as a tarp. Regardless of your thoughts on the situation I'd be hard pressed to believe that you would buy a rain poncho...

    Hazard 4 Poncho Villa - AVOID!

    I reckon that is their get-out-of-jail-free card; they never claim the entire item to be 100% waterproof and that the material itself is just labeled as 'water-resistant'. Nonetheless, for the price they sell the garment at you'd expect a lot more R&D. I'd actually have been happier with the...

    Hazard 4 Poncho Villa - AVOID!

    Hi everyone, So a few months ago I bought a Hazard 4 Poncho Villa in khaki. I enjoy wearing ponchos and thought it worth my cash to splurge out on a premium item with some advanced features like stretchy/breathable material, lots of adjustable points and good quality poppers and grommets...

    Suggestions for an 18th knife?

    I have an ESEE 6 and it is a stunning knife. It's a little on the large side but it's coated carbon steel, comes with a lifetime warranty and the kydex sheath is bombproof and easily customised. As you asked for a bushcraft knife this might not be what you're after in terms of looks but...

    What did you buy today?

    I fancied this exact model - the 17.5" 800g one rather than the 15" 600g or 20" 900g hatchets in the Agdor range. How do you find it?

    2015 Maxpedition Sabercat Wild Camping Loadout

    Yeah this took some considerable trial and effort to decide on but I personally find my setup works for me. Wet trousers aren't a bother to me as long as they dry quickly at camp, which they do well at. As for using the poncho as a tarp I find that if it's bucketing down I'll be less inclined to...

    2015 Maxpedition Sabercat Wild Camping Loadout

    Pics will be up soon, I have all of the kit above with only a few pieces still to arrive by mail so it shouldn't be too long. It's taken a while to get this far and I'm happy to hear we have a similar outlook. What kind of food do you mostly take to camp?

    2015 Maxpedition Sabercat Wild Camping Loadout

    Hi all, It's been a while since I've been on here but thought I'd start the new year with an updated kit list for 2015. At first glance this looks like a heavyweight kit but when you pair everything down it actually comes out around light-medium weight. I'll be going to Glen Quoich near...

    Looking for Glasgow-based Wild Campers

    Hi all, I currently go on the odd wild camping overnighter with a mate but unfortunately we always end up going only once or twice a year due to work restraints; just not often enough I reckon. I particularly enjoy navigating off of trails before reaching camp, and although I have a tent I...

    Hi all, I currently go on the odd wild camping overnighter with a mate but unfortunately we always end up going only once or twice a year due to work restraints; just not often enough I reckon. I've been to Glenashdale and Loch Garbad on the Isle of Arran twice and a few local stays to...

    Does anyone recognise this boiler/rain suit?

    Fantastic, thanks for the help!

    Does anyone recognise this boiler/rain suit?

    Hi everyone, I seen this flight suit on a military camo forum: The colours have been altered by computer (a custom multicam variant for those interested) so won't look how it would off the rack, but I really liked the suit and I was wondering if anyone recognised either it or the brand...

    Best wet-weather poncho?

    Hi everyone, On my last trip outdoors I used a Mil-tec poncho that I loved for a plethora of reasons, namely the press studs, size and fabric. I was curious to know if anyone else has used wet-weather ponchos extensively and what they found to be the best one and why? Regards, Zen

    Including rope in your kit?

    I'm relatively new here so I'm not quite clued up on what's allowed with regards to plugging websites, but I'm going to start detailing my excursions on my own blog if you're interested in reading it; the first post should be up in the next day or two, there'll be more info on there...

    Including rope in your kit?

    Hi guys, To cut a long story short, there were two situations during a recent wild camping trip to Arran recently that would have warranted the use of a rope when all we had was 100ft 550 paracord that we doubled up. I was thinking of including 30m of 8-9mm dynamic rope to my kit, along with...
