    Berghaus vulcan or Karrimor sabre 60-100

    Not used the Sabre but.... I hve used the cyclops 2 back system for about 20 yrs give or take, along with assorted variable lngth back systems and other fixed ones, and I have to say for heavy loads I keep going back to Berghaus' cyclops 2. The main reason for this is that I'm a freak and at...

    Wanted Skookum Bush Tool

    Got to be the way to go, picked one up at the gathering for a premium, not because of what is but because of how it feels in the hand, works a treat, and it took some hammer, I felt obliged to see if it was as good as I thought it should be, so battoning notching, a bit of whittling pummel plate...

    Air pistols: a feasible hunting tool?

    As best as I understand it a FAC air gun falls under all the same restrictions as a rifle proper does, complete with FA officer visits, gun cabinets et al. I've never had a FAC rated air gun though this is just my understanding and what I have been led to believe. Now as to upgrading to FAC...

    help wanted

    got to agree with Dingo nobby, you will prolly spend as much as paid for the tarp to get it right. That said though the shiny stuff is prolly a silicone waterproofing (guess).

    help wanted

    ASHAMED !! No BLOODY ANNOYED TOO !!

    Planning on being there next weekend, it's a cracking place and a travesty that some #*"**@e has left it like that. To second what Dave says about Ian he's a decent bloke and has a right to be treated accordingly. Before we start to mention the woodland, which we have a duty to treat well...
