    Someone will know surely..... Is there such a thing that connects my walking sticks (extendable type) together to make one longer pole that I can use with my DD 3X3 tarp in the pyramid configuration?

    Micro woodland adventure

    Freezing cold, high winds, a few hours between chores, what better way to get lunch than with my boy making steak and smores in the woods...... While I got a tarp up, he gathered bundles of birch branches for the fire. We rigged up a small wind break behind the fire to protect it. Nothing...

    A quick jaunt...

    Having to drop my daughter off at her new farm job, it wasn't worth it to drive all the way home again just to come back 3hrs later, so I googled mapped and found a large woodland not far from the farm. I'd packed my new (to me) berghaus cyclops crusader with a bit odds and sods. I'd also seen a...

    Rainy woodland overnight

    Instead of writing, I thought I'd have a dabble in making a video of my latest overnight trip. Nothing special happened, its just an ASMR made on my phone and shows what I got up to. No fancy stuff I'm afraid... i just filmed tit bits as I went along to see how it would affect my relaxation...

    Knife scales size

    I've got an SWC bushcraft knife, same as the Woodlore, but pre-Ray collaboration. Had it since 2006 and its a user. The scales were done for me in Yew, after the birch scales I put on it just didn't feel right in my hand. Anyways, as the years have gone by, I am thinking that the scales need to...

    Spare fuel in the car

    Does anyone carry spare fuel inside their vehicle? On my van, I carried spare fuel externally, in my pick up I carry spare fuel in the load bed (truckman cover). Does anyone carry spare fuel in the boot of their vehicle? Some of us carry spare gear in our vehicles, but how many of us carry...

    A failed attempt.....

    The planning for this one went the usual way. Much scouring over maps, checking and packing, then unpacking and checking again of equipment. Eventually, I finished work and off to the Peaks I went! Parking up in a suitable spot, I donned my pack and changed from trail runners to lightweight...

    Recently (in the past week) almost every time I click on the latest thread, I get this... I can view the thread online but on Tapatalk it's this...... not on every thread, I'd say 50/50 though. Anyone else getting this problem?
