The article says they were using "straw type" water filters.

Thankyou for your thoughts Squidders. I'm looking at the zip entry rather than bottom entry. As far as suspension goes, I have whoopie slings on the tenth wonder at the moment so will likely do the same on the new hammock (after playing with the stock setup first...)

Looking for some advice on upgrading my hammock. I currently have a Tenth Wonder green hornet and I think I want something asymmetric to get a better lay. I have been looking at the Hennessy explorer XL and the blackbird xlc - is the blackbird really £100 better than the Hennessy? Has anyone...

I enjoyed that. Thanks for sharing!

And then shoot it from a crossbow?

Is it metallic or organic? Does it have a smell? Can you file a bit of it to get more info?

I saw my first swallow of the year today.

Take a couple of inflatable trees then - sorted! Seriously though, I think that with enough cordage and imagination it should be possible to rig at least a shallow plow point in most cases ( unless you find yourself in a flat desolate wasteland). All you need some sort of elevated tie off...

Also hope that the wind direction doesn't change

Very likely that anyone owning and using a crossbow for legitimate target shooting would apply for a license. Also quite likely that anyone owning a crossbow who doesn't use it for target shooting would not apply for a license. The problem is that any government can license or ban anything...

Take a spare fruitcake. Also spam and mini tortilla wraps.

Need to build a larger trebuchet then.

I like that, very good idea. Is the "thing" something while that you have repurposed or just random bits that you have put together?

There is no "one axe to rule them all". Just the one best suited to the task in hand.
