    Bell Tent coir matting bag

    Hmmm, I bought two as I figured a full moon would make a tough base that I could then put rugs on. I may live to regret it I guess, but nothing ventured nothing gained etc! [emoji23] Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk

    Bell Tent coir matting bag

    Hey peeps, I've recently bought a canvas bell tent with full moon (2 x 1/2 moon) coir matting, however the latter came without a bag. Any suggestions (with links if poss) for where I can get a suitable bag to house the matting? If there's nothing off the shelf, then any advice about material...

    Wild camping kit list for Northern Sweden

    Hi there, Still working out where to go exactly. Think there's somewhere called the King's trail, or something like that. Maybe there, but not settled on a destination yet. You mention a tent. Is it unwise to use Bivvi and tarp then? I've never thought that tents keep you any warmer than a...

    Wild camping kit list for Northern Sweden

    Hey peeps, I'm a reasonably experienced wild camper, and very used to cold snowy trips in the UK, but a Swedish mate and I are planning a trip to Northern Sweden next year and I was wondering if there were any pearls of wisdom over what special kit I might need. We're thinking of doing a...

    Website which calculates route distance, including elevation?

    Ah yeah, but I tend to do 3/4 night wild camps in the mountains, on a circular route, so being able to plan well enough to not fall behind schedule is key. I get what you're saying about the inaccuracies of GPS units, and Lord knows my one, probably at the lower end of the range is probably...

    Website which calculates route distance, including elevation?

    That sounds pretty cool bearbait! :) I'm pretty new to using a GPS to be honest. All my past trips have been made using OS maps only, but my dad gave me his pretty basic GPS last year, so I've since used it as a bit of a backup, for when the the mist comes in on the mountains. I've found...

    Website which calculates route distance, including elevation?

    Thanks Bishops, but I found that one too. Sadly Quixoticgeek is right, you can't upload a gpx route to this one. I seriously can't believe a website doesn't exist though, it's such a simple calculation if you have both sets of data. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

    Website which calculates route distance, including elevation?

    Hey peeps, I'm aware of various mapping websites, such as Mapometer, where you can upload a .GPX route and it will work out the distance and show you a side view of the elevation along the route, but can anyone recommend a website which will calculate your total distance taking into account the...

    What kit do you recommend I need to start leatherworking?

    Hey peeps, I've long wanted to try my hand at some leatherwork, and would love to make a sheath for my Fallkniven F1 and (soon to buy) Silky Gomboy. I've no experience in this, but am pretty good with my hands, so just need to know what basic tools I'm likely to need to put my hands on, and...

    Advice on replacing my dutch oven handle...

    Hi gang, The handle on my dutch oven has got bent, and I cannot for the life of me now get it to hang level!!! This is obviously really frustrating when cooking as it means I cannot get maximum usage fro the volume of the pot. :( Rather than struggle on with a couple of pairs of pliers, I...

    What knife/edge do you use when tanning a hide?

    Amazing. Top advice as always, thanks. :) Definitely gonna rethink the initial process and tools for next time. Not brain tanning this time, just salt and then planning on smoking them to preserve, although perhaps there's another slightly easier method as I don't have a ready made smoker...

    What knife/edge do you use when tanning a hide?

    Hey BCUK peeps, Begun tanning a few hides from the weekends wild camping and air rifle session today - 3 squirrels and a rabbit. This is only my second bash, the first being a mole that the neighbours cat despatched a while back. My hands are feeling it now, having used a fairly blunt old...

    Anyone cut a camo net and edged it again?

    Hey peeps, I've recently purchased a really good quality 8m x 8m camo net, that I want to cut down to smaller sizes. It's edged really nicely, with each join of the net almost looking like it's whipped onto the thicker cord around the outside. Given its size, I havent got the...

    Basha Mod - How to safely add a new loop/ring

    Actually, these look pretty good. I've watched a video on YouTube and the ones there looked a little big, and would therefore gather more of the basha, but they might be worth a try first. Cheers :) Sent from my GT-I9305 using Tapatalk
