In the forest there was a large muddy puddle covering the path, I could not walk around it because the forest was very, very dense

You have convinced me, leather hiking boots it is thanks cumbrian are these just as good and comfortable as the boots seen in shops like cotswolds? I take a 12. are leather boots without membranes better? thanks copper

what if you go out on a hike for a couple of days when you know it will be raining? surely you would take waterproof boots then? I use my leather non-waterproof boots at the moment, but I would not go on a hike if it is raining with them

I agree, I really don't need a shovel on hiking trips

even while hiking in the heatwave recently, water managed to get into my boots so high army boots must be a benefit (are they waterproof to the top?) are gaiters effective at stopping water getting in at the top of a hiking boot? are army boots more uncomfortable? thanks all, wondering...

You have a 4lt bottle, but I don't carry more than 2 litres when hiking. unless you are somewhere where there is not much water (does such a place exist in the UK?) I'd say carry less. I am even going to carry less the next time I go out, 1.5lts or 1.75

I have been meaning to buy a lenser for a while, I was going to get the AAA one but got the AA in the sale now. Excellent I am going to buy a head strap for it, can anyone recommend?

When I am undergoing a house clean, I ask myself - "would I prefer the space created after getting rid of this or the lack of space from keeping it?". Most of the time I prefer the space and tidiness can you tell us what stuff or take a pic of it?

rope is handy if the hammock needs to be extended (depends where you go) axes are heavy, I can often do without mine. In fact I can pretty much always do without it. I think axes are for making things purely for the enjoyment rather than needing them on a hike/camp. In winter though, more...

Do your shoulders get cold if you are not a fan of mummy bags?

I own a karrimor bobcat 65 superwick. Karrimor seem to make a one size fits all frame now (or so I gathered from their website), but mine is an old medium which is a little too small for me, yet my back does not hurt after using it. These bags, compared to the one you posted, have a longer...

A guess a tarp could be used with this too with long poles? Would a tarp at that height hold in wind?

after spending the last two nights in my TW hammock I have noticed that if you turn to sleep on your sides, your face is buried in the hammock (it wraps around your face), this is bearable but annoying . I think this can be fixed by tying the hammock a little looser, but then sag sets in. My...
