Folks, A friend of mine is keen to hear about people's projects using their skills to create new stuff. In particular, the theme is fusing hobbies, where someone uses one set of skills to equip themselves for their other hobbies. He has set up a website at www.pinventor.co.uk Rob is hoping to...

There seems to be a new trend for camping mats that you blow up and have little or no insulation in them. I like the idea since they are super light. But are they just glorified lilos? Does anyone have any experience with the likes of the alpkit numo or the multimat air ranges? I would use them...

These are 10" long scotch-eyed augers which just need a stick through the handle to help you drill 1" holes in things like birch trees or the homestead. They are brand new. They are housed in a sheath of 1-2mm veg tan Buffalo hide, hand-stitched and dyed in a rustic (uneven:)) style. They are...

I had a play with some 16oz canvas for these. My machine coped ok, but it was hard on the fingers while hand-stitching on the leather attachments. The rifle bag is lined with fleece and has a sling which attaches via QD studs so it can come off the bag and go onto the rifle in a jiffy. The...
