Can only 100% agree with what Greg said. MAL

Gosh - never thought I would say thanks MAL (what....another MAL on the site!) Anymore tips and pointers anyone? MAL

Looking for advice on the 'best' telescopic fishing rod(s). Lets say I have between £100-£150 to spend for rod, reel, flies etc. Any pointers guys? Regs MAL

Yup, It was a good evening. Nice to see a bunch of people from very different walks of live passionate about the same thing. It was also good to see that everyone could learn from someone else no matter how little or much the experience. As middle-learner (so to speak) I picked up hints from...

Hey guys. I was just being flippant (one of my finer traits I am afraid) :rolmao: I just saw the funny side of going kitted up into a 3-star hotel! I know it was a suggestion. Suggestion and ideas are good :-) Yup lets meet as per original. If anyone arrives late check out the obvious...

So....we are meeting at a 3-star hotel and you are bringing edged 'tools'. Marvellous. If you can turn up is full camo aswell we will not look out of place at all! Mal p.s. shall I get a release 'chit' from the local constabulary in advance?

Where is this Buckerall Lodge Hotel? There are plenty of other pubs in Central Exeter May I suggest The White Hart just the other side of Cathedral Green http://www.english-inns.co.uk/Eldridge-Pope/WhiteHart-Exeter/ or a list of them here...

So. Are we sure it is open on Sunday? If not then I would move it to Mill on the Exe nearby. I thought of bringing one bushcraft item with me as identification - I will ask your opinion as to what it shall be: 1. Billy Can 2. Large black fungus for firestarting 3. Tarp 4. Obvious...

Sounds good to me. C U all then for an ale or two! Mal p.s. How will everyone know it each other? (Not that the Wellhouse will be busy then)

Well Tavern Cathedral Green or Mill on the Exe (near Station) - okay pub with parking and large inside (does Cornish Beer and can sit outside (for all those hardy bushcrafters grrrrr!!!) Mak

For emergencies and certainly not for comfort. Anyway - does it not also remove some of the joy about setting up camp? It is almost convenience camping. Stop walking, step to the side of the path, fall over and go to sleep. Mal p.s. It also looks incrediby stupid on.....

Sound tentatively good for me I don't work 7 days a week and I drive. Mal :naughty:

Too many stoves and other equipment - time to get rid of all the stuff I have accumulated and sits at the back of my cupboard. So the Crux must go. I don't use gas stoves anymore. This stove has had very, very light use and is in perfect working order and is virtually new. Superb design and...

I am planning a schlep around Exmoor (Dartmoor has been my turf for too long recently) and I was hoping that you brothers of bushcraft may be able to advise me what woodlands on Exmoor are good overnight camps spots (legit. or not) for the low-profile bushman. If you have any particularly good...

My gawd. I think you are onto something here. I think we should start a strand for the Bushcraft addicted. Bush Anon "Hi, I'm Mal and I am a Bushaholic" The problem is...I think the 12 Steps is a tracking course and thats why I signed up. Its hopeless. I have an addiction. Mal
