Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
That's useful; thanks.
I read somewhere that soaking for a long time with frequent changes of water is equivalent to a few boils and that another way is put them in a net in river for 2 weeks. Maybe the difference to keep them fresh is flowing water rather than the still water I was trying. I...
I have found some bits and pieces on here about acorn processing but no definitive guide in one place so I am asking for help please.
I found a nice walk on the weekend and decided to gather some acorns as they were ankle deep in places (well not really - but there were lots!). They are...
Hmm. Interesting. The Coleman Cobra 2 has very good reviews elsewhwere too. It also has extra length compared to the Vangos, is only 2kg and can be had for around £50. The HH is not as high as the Vangos (3000 vs 5000 / groundsheet same though) bit nobody says it leaks and with a Scot...
Just been up to Go Outdoors in Basingstoke and (as usual whenever I want something specific) they had little on display and even less in stock. They just had a Banshee 300 set up and one 200 and some 300's in stock but all in red; I want green. No Tempest 200, which I really wanted to compare it...
Thanks all. It seems my initial idea of a Vango is not bad then as a choice of make. Coleman also have a range of small, cheapish tents too - are they any good generally as a brand?
Shewie - it is not likely to see extreme conditions but could get a soaking now and again.
ged - yes, I think I...
I have decided to give up on the purist fancy of tarp and bivvy bag and go for a tent the next time I am out. I expect this has been covered before but I can't find it in recent posts so anyway, I am looking for recommendations for a suitable tent, say 2 berth so enough room for me to spread out...
Such is the latest flyer in my email this morning. However when you click on the link the offer for reserve and collection (no mail order) is actually £30. It's only £20 in store without reserve and collect. So how does that work then?
In my experience you can pretty much guarantee it is a...
I have the 55 and if you look on Ebay there is a seller called pr3pr3 (I think - search here for my thread "The only place to get Highlander gear"), cheapest I found though maybe Riven can cut you a deal.
I haven't walked far with it but it seems okay. I find the pockets difficult to access...
I did; thanks but it wandered off topic too. Found the answer in an old thread while searching for something else: you can make mini meths burners from Red Bull type cans for the crusader unit.
I was just about to order the Swedish army Trangia set when I discovered the Tatonka meths burner as an alternative which comes with a compact steel stand. I was thinking I could just put my crusader mug on that but found a thread saying that does not work that well as the mug is oval and the...
Can you run these on meths or does it have to be the usual petrol type lighter fuel? Just wondering so as to use on fuel for this and a Trangia or Tatonka burner.
No answer on sourcing the SS version then; nevermind here are another couple of questions:
How does the Trangia burner rate alongside the Tatonka one (I have just discovered the Greenman Bushcraft shop and have a new shopping list now...)?
Also, can either of these burners be used in the base...
Anyone know where to get the stainless steel one in good condition (new...?)? I have only seen them on militarymart but seen mixed reports about the grade supplied. Maybe I will just get a new alu one.
