    Any Dutch Buckle users?

    Is anyone using Dutch Buckles with woopie slings to hang their hammock? I got a couple of set in the group buy here sometime ago and just got round to pairing them up with suitable webbing. Fist impressions were that they were very easy and effective to use. Was really pleased at the weight...

    White Rose Wood --- not a meet

    A year not in the woods often enough

    I was not sure whether to post this at all, and where. In the end I decided on the RC Meeters group as it is pretty fits.... but it is too long for the limit there so the Mids social area it is. Tonight is an anniversary of sorts and I just wanted to express my thanks to you guys and gals -...

    A trek through the northern Chilterns

    This last weekend I was out assessing a Silver DofE group from a neighbouring Explorer unit, may be it was not the most technically challenging route but an expedition is also about achieving something and they certainly collected lots of evidence for their project work. I did wonder at times if...

    Another outdoor shop SALE

    Went in on Saturday morning to get some climbing kit for my son ( presents by proxy) and discovered that my local independent high street specialist outdoor shop have started their sale early so the bill had shrunk. They are towards the more technical end of the gear market but worth a look if...

    Sabre fit Side Pockets

    Good evening Kit Gurus Having acquired a second hand Sabre 45 I was having a look around at pockets. As side pockets appear to come in various degrees of "expense" what are the relative pros and cons of Standard PLCE vs Arktis vs Karrimor SF (forgetting Predator side pockets as they look...

    Just wondering if anyone has used the bushcraft store (bdu imports) recently? I ordered a knife kit from them which has never arrived.

    A different pitch at Rough Close this time, we were towards the back of the site using the "Leaders Training Field" which meant we had the use of an area of principally spruce with the usual RC mix of broadleaved trees, hazel youngsters and holy bushes. However we also had a sun-trap field...
