I just bought some OG polyester webbing for hammock hanging. Seems like a good price from all my research, and I think 1500 kg breaking strain should be enough, so if anyone's interested here's a link - http://www.brianparkcamping.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=4_26&products_id=512

Thank you gentlemen. The decision is made - new mil-com pans it is, unless I can find bulldogs.

I'm looking for a new set of pans (for one person tho often hungry) for hanging over a fire and standing on a honey stove. I'm wondering about the Mil-com set http://www.greenmanbushcraft.co.uk/outdoor-kitchen/mil-com-billy-can-nesting-set.htm Has anybody used them and if so are they any...

Nice hat Tom. Like it.

Thanks Treetop. Look forward to seeing some pics of your bike.

Funnily enough i just read about the mudguard issue last night after posting the pics. I'm having problems with those tyres taking up too much space anyway so will probably switch to something smaller. Thanks for the tip all the same.

I've just found this thread by chance, right after doing up an old steel frame MTB specifically for rough stuff and bushcraft. The plan is to tour as much of Britain off road as I can, chronicling the endeavour in a blog - www.ruffstuffcycling.co.uk. Here's some pics of the bike as it was and...

Be good to see some pics when it's finished.

The whole of Monmouth in New Jersey looks like a Monmouth Cap too, albeit one that didn't do well in the felting process. :) http://www.weichert.com/images/counties/NJ-Monmouth.gif

Interesting. So if the cap comes out of the wash a bit too small after felting then it can be stretched. Cheers Colin.

Hi Harvestman Is SWMBO going to make it or teach you how to make it? I haven't knitted anything since I was 7. I started on a scarf but got bored so it became a vest for my Action Man. Be good to learn though, and something to do whilst sitting around the fire. Can just picture a bunch of...

Le Prevo are good too - http://www.leprevo.co.uk/

I've been reading a book about the English Civil War that contains several references to "Monmouth Caps" as worn by the common soldier. Apparently they were felted and very warm. I've just found some information and a pattern. It doesn't tell you about felting, which is easy to do in a washing...

Fantastic. Thanks shaggystu. Will post some pics when it's done.

I want to make a pullover smock using tweed fabric. Does anyone have a pattern or know where I could get one? My size is medium - 38" to 40" chest and 5' 10" tall.

Here's a petition you can sign if you oppose the idea - http://www.38degrees.org.uk/save-our-forests

Cheers Resnikov. I love using it especially on my own as there's soooo much space to spread out. Not sure how many have ued it before. I think the largest group may have been five. I've used it with two others but you could have 10 sit in it if you cleared out some of the junk that's accumulated.

Cheers Southey. It would be great to have it open but it's not leafed enough yet to keep the rain out plus, in winter, all the heat would just vanish up in the air. I am thinking of maybe cutting the parachute from the bottom up so that the front (which is south facing) can be opened up. Might...

Hope this is the right forum. It's a group shelter that I've built. Best told in pictures. Be happy to answer any questions if there are any. 1. The plan. Blue dots are upright posts. Green lines are cross bars and the red dot is the fire pit. Each green bar (except the doorway at the...

I'm a natural born scaredy cat but have been camping on my own for decades (not continuously). The first night I'm usually a bit nervous but you fall asleep, don't get killed, and wake up the next morning thinking what was I so worried about? After that it's fine. I have been freaked out by some...
