Just seeing if any of you guys have been or thinking of going. Seems to be a fair amount of bushcraft related stuff there looking at the advert.

I've got a chance of doing a hangi on a scout camp and I'm in need of alittle advice. So my idea was pork joint, enough for around 20 folks but what I need to know is how big a pit and how long to cook? Now, according to various books I have they suggest the pit should be 5x the...

Not really bushcraft question but I'm sure someone here can answer these questions: Why does the Army use mils and not degrees on their compasses and why 0-64? What is a mil (millimetres maybe) ? Is this correct 0mils- N,16mils-E, 32mils-S, 48mils-W? The reason I ask such...

Does anyone have any idea where I may find the photos taken of Jed's axe workshop at this years moot. The're the ones of the shelter we built, I've searched the site but found nothing. Not even sure if they were going to be posted but they were taken by Sarge so I guessed they would. If...

Update! Train company has got back to me, they said it's o.k to take the tools on board as long as they remain packed in my bergen at all times.

I have two questions I would like to know the answer.First, is the bcuk ventile jacket the same product as the Westwinds Airedale. Secondly, how do you justify (to the wife!) spending £200-£300 on something that will probably get ripped,burned and covered in muck and blood.As you can probably...

I've decided to e-mail the train company and the transport police regarding my enquiry, as of yet I have had no reply. I will let you guys know if anything of importance cames back. Think I will have a word with my local police as well.

I'm coming, doing the whole thing this year. Coming by train so I will probably be there by Tuesday. This will be my 3rd, can't wait....:lmao:

Could anyone put me straight on the issue of taking knives, axes, etc on trains.I have been informed that if I wish to do so I must inform the train company before travelling. As I am coming to the bushmoot this year on the train with said tools, I would like to find out the rules before going...

I do hope that you have not been offended Toddy by me removing the thread.You are right, lets leave the politics alone. I'm sure the views of most will be pretty unanimous anyway. Lets leave it at that. Mick

I have decided to take down the thread for obvious reasons. Mick.

Thanks for thr reply. See you are from Leicestershire as well, doesn't to be many of us from these parts. I'm from North West end myself. By the way what's the hairy orge all about

After purchasing my ticket for the bushmoot this year I decided to treat myself to a hennessy hammock, instead sleeping on a roll mat for four nights. The problems I'm having are, 1) which one to buy the Expedition Asym or the Explorer Deluxe, as I'm 183cm x 98kg. 2)Where to...

Still not sure about this knife,that's the problem with Internet shopping you can't get a feel of the product before you buy. I take it that this knife has a scandigrind with no secondary bevel. I guess when buying a knife it's either get what you pay for or wait for ever and a day for...

Thanks, I'll look him up there.
