Yes mate they are

Hello hello, https://opticswarehouse.co.uk/product/delta-optical-forest-ii-8x42-binoculars/ Got these for Christmas from the wonderdul other half, not sure why she got me them - but it's the thought that counts! They are however just sitting, completely unopened, in the box. Looking for...

Waterproof, full leather, hard wearing with a high ankle. tried on but never worn, still have the tags and box. Looking for £90 + postage. Originally bought these thinking they were the right size but the seller told me the US size! Thanks for looking.

Cheers guys

Hi guys, Recently got hold of a British army bivvy bag and am looking forward to getting some use out of it having never tried it before. Have hammock slept many times but like the idea of the bivvy for hiking trips as my tent is an old boy weighing in at about 3kg. Are there any linked...

Thank you both for the input, found it! No damage done either. Have to say I am genuinely impressed with this bag.

Hi guys, Recently bought a new bag by a Polish company called Wisport. Just arrived today and really happy with it; 45 litre, a fair amount of MOLLE bits on it for some side pouches, adjustable back length as I'm tall etc etc...

Ive read a few articles and blogs about EN rating and a good piece that scarfell linked me to and agree that it is a good starting point but as has been mentioned we are all different. I think my plan for the moment is going to be to head down to my local Cotswolds on Monday and have a play...

I think for me its about trying something new, never slept in a bivvy bag before and I may be well off in my estimations of it vs my capabilities! if needs be I can always layer with my current bag (cheapo mountain warehouse), I had never thought of that and it is a really good idea. Its more...

In the past I have always gone with the comfort temperature as opposed to seasons, should have said that really (sorry!). For me a 4 season bag takes you down to a comfortable nights sleep at -10 to -15. With a liner and sleeping kit on that is way to hot for me for most winter camp outs in...

Hi guys, New to the forum and had a brief look but couldn't find anything on this. Apologies though if its been done to death already! I am on the taller side of 6'5" (as in I'm 6'5.5", every little helps) and I have really struggled to find sleeping bags to fit me - always seems that I...

Hi guys, Been dabbling in bushcraft for the last two years but have really stepped up trying to expand my very limited knowledge in the last few months. Live in Kent and looking forward to getting to know people on the forum. Cheers
