Aye Up, The escapades of those with CREE torches in a recent post by Bishop prompted me to post this. A few years back I bought about half a dozen of the below ex military surplus torches for about 50p each as they 'had a fault' and weren't working correctly. They are some kind of fairly...

Aye Up, A short time ago there were a few threads on here discussing the pros and cons of Kukhris marketed by various companies. I don't recall anyone mentioning the one in the title sold by Heinnie Haynes. Has anyone bought/used/can comment on the pros and cons of it? Can anyone comment on...

Aye Up Dave, I tried to reply to your PM but got a full mail box response.

Aye Up, It was Greg Stiles' recent thread re 'Bushcraft Songs' that prompted my recollection of a game that we used to play whilst on stag back in the day to try to keep ourselves 'alert' and so not wishing to take his thread off topic I've posted this separately. The idea was to think of...

Aye Up, OK, so I didn't heed my own advice about emptying out a SAT burner for storage whilst I've been using a BRS wood burner :( (Although a Scandi once told me not to do so as a wick inside the SAT burner would become brittle and fragment if left dry for too long?) Anyway - worse...

Aye Up, Ex Dutch mil boil in the bag rations with a decent use-by date and good price at £2.50. Just tried the meat balls with green beans – very nice, quite wholesome, not distinctly continental as I was expecting and more potato/veg than just green beans. Surplus and Outdoors –...

Aye Up, Back in April I knocked out a tarpee based on an idea originally posted by another member (philb) in two patterns of fleck tarn (M84 and Bundeswehr). It is proving to be one of the most effective and user friendly shelters that I have owned and it has been getting some serious use...

Aye Up, I’ve been a fan of a copy of the NI patrol ruck for some time now. The one in question is that made by the company ‘Kombat’ and it is in olive green. It was the compactness, design and superior internal lining that convinced me to buy it in the first place. I’d already made...

Aye Up, Not sure if this one came whilst I was on my summer sojourn - Seen today - 3M brand, olive green, outdoor-use duct tape, 2 inches wide (50mm) £1.99 - Lidl. :)

Aye Up, Danish M84 (and OD in the shadows) has been working superbly (as usual) throughout late spring and summer, but things are about to change. It's just turning dpm o'clock in my neck of the woods and I thought that it was a while away from flecktime until I noticed this on route the...

Aye Up, I happened across one of these last year, imaged it and then deleted the image accidentally. This year it's taken me quite a bit of searching but I finally found some at a different location (last years didn't re emerge). I'm hoping that it is a very rare, amazing-powers-giving...

Aye Up, I will declare at the outset that I’ve never been a great fan of total-synthetic base layers even though I have suffered the trials that some natural fibres can bring (think 1970’s British Army cotton airtex T’s) but I’ve always believed in credit where it is due so here is some in...

Aye Up, Well, as this is my 500th post I thought that I would put something up informative so here goes. It was the recent thread posted by Woof re the Aquaglide inflatable canoe which has prompted me to post this. I’ve owned a Sevylor Colorado canoe/kayak which looks very similar to...

Aye Up, Is it a regular occurrence or have I detected a recent, unusual upsurge in the number of bushcraft items being put up for sale on the site over the past couple of months? The ratio of 'for sales' to other posts certainly appears to have gone up. And if it is unusual what could...

Aye Up, I saw this on TV just recently - described as the new US ICS - Improved Combat Shelter. Dimensions and weight detail was missing but it looks like it uses shock corded glass fibre poles. It was stated that it comes with an integral floor and the that the material is IRR etc...

Aye Up, Some may recall the post that I made on the BRS wood burner earlier in the year. http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=144139&highlight=BRS+wood+burner I've been using it almost exclusively two or three times per week since January (50+ times) and I have to say that...

Aye Up, It was a YouTube vid that further prompted me to pursue creation of a hextarp or ‘tarpee’ which I had seen previously featured on BCUK. Specifically it was the use of the Danish M84 Flecktarn pattern which galvanised me into action, one which I have been using very successfully in...

Aye Up, Not sure if this has been picked up already within the community, it's a new one to me. I've already been using the Liquid Soap Flakes (on the left) on other items of clothing for some time now and with good results but had to pay through the nose for another (quite expensive)...

Aye Up, Just saw this on ebabe. I'm not a fan of framed rucks of that era/type (having carried one long distances!) but I know that they appeal to some in the BCUK community :)

Aye Up I purchased this bag some time back with the intention to cannibalise it for the material but then found something else and put the bag to one side. More recently, needing a small bag simply to stow something in my motor, I dug the bag out and became aware of an unusual/useful...
