Buff for me light - squashes to nothing, dries quick, you'd be amazed the heat it holds in round the neck of a fleece. Also - used it when in the hammock over my face when the midgies were out - can see'ish and breathe through it no problem

Scotch morning roll with a scotch pie and a little gravy... Although coming down off Scafell Pike at 5 in the morning on the 3 peaks, to be greeted with a hot roll and bacon takes some beating.. Other favourite is a meatloaf sandwich...

yeah, I've got one of the artic bags - believe they're the same as the pattern 58 but no waterproof base and more fill (although can't be certain). It's really bulky, and almost regretted buying it, until had a few really cold nights and never felt the cold - brilliant bit of kit - but not...

Hmm, just noticed that this has already been done : http://www.bushcraftuk.net/downloads/wallpaper However I like the calendar, and no border, so will be sticking with the leaves one..

oh go on then I'll throw my thruppence in.... if most are like me, it's a sliding scale and we all sit somewhere on that scale.. I started out as a boy running round the hills building forts and shelters, then as adulthood grabbed hold bought tents and trangias and inflatable beds and then...

as an aside, I've had a look at that alpkit site and a really refreshing approach to outdoor gear (I'm not affiliated). They were voted best outdoor gear 2005 by Outdoorsmagic, which is where I got all my gear reviews before finding this place. But, my point, is that they link to a really...

My favourite from Robert Frost's The Road Not Taken. Two roads diverged in a wood, and I- I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference" I really liked the Theroux quote, must get some of his writings.

thanks all - some good resources there :)

As the summer solstice approaches I for one would love to know a bit more about it's origins, mythology, and some of the practices that take place in modern day around this event. If anyone has any links or can explain some of the origins and what it means to bushcraft, I'd really appreciate...

Just got my bushlite - solid brass and I must admit much more solid and weighty than I expected. Got cheap on ebay.. Although -didn't come with a mozzie pad adaptor - and am camping in wales ina few days - so very needed (going with the citronella tip) Any ideas where I can get one pretty...
