just a thought - but you could do worse than a bell tent . plenty of room to stand up , dead easy to put up ( can do it alone in 15mins ) totally bombproof weather wise and you get all the benefits of sleeping under canvas - obviously the weight is an issue , and is only suited to car camping...

that's an unusual cross mate - there's a young lad in the beating gang that i look after that's got the same . it's a bit sharp too ;) - but it's got a cracking nose . can't be many about ?

some good advice on here mate - as to working them with dogs , you need to be very , very sure of your dog . have sadly lost ferrets in the past as a youngster , who was happy to believe his friend when he said that his dog was fine with ferrets :( brought my lurchers up from pups to be used to...

any good ( meaning cheap ! ) sources of these new rat packs - my kids loved the old ones . would like to get some in

couldn't agree with para106 more -they're cracking boots . good grip , very comfy and keep your feet warm even when static . have had all sorts over the years - last pair were le chameu chasseurs , which weren't a patch on the muck boots and cost more than 3 times as much

got my 4m bell tent from a company called canvas and cast . had plenty of tents over the years and this is by far the best - the quality is great , all wood and rope pegs and tighteners , ash centre pole - and you couldn't get any easier to put up of course it weighs alot , but i only use...

couldn't agree more with the previous posts am learning so many new bits and pieces - i look forward to the weekends with the kids to try them all out lol there's such a depth of knowledge , freely shared , on such a wide range of topics it's great to be part of merry christmas to everyone

blimey - £350 !!! am sure it'd be a great day out - my kids would be in heaven , but that's more than my holiday budget for the whole year - think i must be the poorest man on the forum lol . have noticed that anything vaguely realted to bushcraft attracts a premium price - shame really ...

some great gear coming out for me it's a buffalo shirt i got as a present when i joined up in 1990 - had some heavy duty use and abuse ( just about manage to slip into it - supposed to be figure hugging lol ) and a good old sigg bottle from the same year - wouldn't swap it

that's pretty much what mine works out at mate like all things it's horses for courses - the 20% off roading ( farm tracks , grass and stubble fields ) is managed with no problem

hi - had a santa fe since january . got it to be able to move me around the rural areas that i work in - and has been great . very comfy , loads of room ( 2 kids , dog and weeks camping gear is no problem ) and not had anything go wrong - have done nearly 25000 miles in it . obviously it costs...

got a couple in bardney limewoods not too far from me - the berries were used to flavour/preserve beer before we used hops according to the local ranger

just joined the forum and thought i'd say a quick hello to all members . i'm a 40 odd ex forces who has been dragged back into bushcrafty stuff by my ray/bear mad kids who regularly like me to accompany them on fun in the woods , and persuaded me to take them to this years wilderness gathering...
