Order occasionally and never had an issue, just don't be in a hurry as it's shipped from China. Had bad experiences with Wish as their kit seems all counterfeit but Ali Express sells the same kit as you can buy here, it's just unbranded.

"Lavvu at The Farm" Bushcraft show for me. £80 for a long weekend event for the whole family. Aside of the moot's this is the only other place I found where the focus is on skills sharing and not profit making. It's more like the moot than the commercial shows out there.

Everyone would love to have a suitable woodland within walking distance but the realities are very much different. If you don't drive as you say then getting to any location is going to be problematic. If you really want to start gaining knowledge your best bet is to start by hanging around...

You can sell bladed item in Facebook, I would recommend the Bushcraft UK Tradepost group, I frequently see knives for sale there. https://www.facebook.com/groups/bushcrafttradepostuk

Not the cheapest but I can' recommend it enough if your budget stretches to it. I balked at the cost too initially but you appreciate why once you have one. It folds down to about a 1L bottle. https://www.savotta.fi/products/jaakari-s

Personally the first thing I pack is my sleep system. This is usually a DD Superlight tarp, my Nemo Tensor Insulated sleep pad and a Snugpak Jungle Blanket, that's your basic sleep kit for around 2KG which is good down to around 5C. Aside from a chair at 1KG which is my only comfort item and a...

You don't have to use plastic. Rough Timba who produces various widgets like a tripod top for the Lavvu uses corn starch instead. He says he can get 6 stone's worth of weight onto the below widget without breaking. It's just as hard as hard plastic...

I have been tempted to sell my size 3 for similar reasons but due to the fact they do not make them anymore the values just keep going up and up. The advice I got from the dedicated Facebook Lavvu groups was if you don't need the money then hang onto it. Sure some places like Military Mart...

250V seems on the high side, the official supply is 230V +10% or -6%. It used to be 240V +6% or -6% but was changed in 1995 to bring us in line with other countries. If your measuring 260V then your outside the tolerance of the supply. It shouldn't create the issue your describing but I would...

Unlike with air pads when sleeping on the floor where any cheapo pad "will do" for a short periods the same does not apply to hammocks. You will generally want a longer / wider hammock to get more comfortable in it. Unfortunately I have seen very few instances where buying a cheap hammock off...

Not used any in many years now, they just grind your computer to a halt with constant scanning. Traditional virus's (virii?) are not really a thing these days, it's more about malware so your better off with something like https://www.malwarebytes.com/mwb-download which you can just run every so...

Hi from Northampton

My OCD would disagree with you ;) I actually use the jungle blanket at home during the colder months due to it's lightweight and warm properties. Never been a fan of a lot of weight on me while sleeping.

Suggest doing as the above poster has. Have several e-mail address's, 1 for official use with banks, government etc, 1 for just generic things online that you don't care about etc. I have 3 e-mail address's and one of them is a paid for service which actually allows for you to add temporary...

Your not giving up any financial details to sign up to either C4 or the BBC iPlayer so not sure where your concerns lie?
