Just ordered a TJM Metalworks lightweight grill. I was tempted to get the mini fire anchor, but I feel this would likely be the more useful/practical of the 2.

I'm 6ft 1 and sleep really well in my normal size DD Frontline, you just need to make sure the hang angle is good and lay on the diagonal. Paired with a 3.5x3.5 DD Tarp, Snugpak underquilt and Softie Elite 3 bag it's a cracking sleep system, although I might try and replace the bag with a nice...

It's honestly worth paying the money for the best pair you can get, as in the long run the cost per use will be way cheaper than buying an el cheapo pair than need replacing every year or 2, and will be far more comfortable to boot (pun intended). I've had a decent pair a Meindl's for over a...

Stayed at this place last weekend and highly recommend it. On the edge of the Brecon Beacons about two thirds of the way up the Blorenge with some stunning views (including of my own house - my wife could see my headtorch and fire once it was dark). Several of the pitches are good for hammock...

Bit late to the thread I know, but I would give a recommendation for Osmo Oil. Having tried most oils/finishes for my projects, I've now switched to it for everything. It's a hardwax oil that's dead easy to apply (2 coats buffed in with a scourer/high grit paper). Goes off fairly quickly, food...

My recent aquisition - a TBS Timberwolf mk2 with a ferro rod and sharpening stone. Its a beautiful knife thats wickedly sharp. I've 1k grit wet sanded several layers of Osmo oil into the scales to make it glassy smooth and to help it stand up to the riggors of a Welsh winter. Well happy with it...

Really like the look of this. I can't make this Otobers dates as have a weekend away booked, but will deffo be up for any future events!

Hi all I moved to Abergavenny in Monmouthshire about 2 years ago and spend a lot of my spare time hiking, fell running and cycling in the Brecon Beacons/Black mountains which im very lucky to have on my doorstep. I'm not new to camping, but i haven't done any back to basics/bushcraft type stuff...
