Hello all, I need a bigger rucksack as my Highlander 30 Ltr is just too small. Used to have a Berghaus Crusader which is about the right size but I just can't justify spending on a top brand bergan. On eBay I have found 100 Ltr sacks for £32 from Outdoor Gear who ever they are. Can I ask if...

Hello peeps, It's a real shame the course is cancelled. I think it would have been a good one. For anyone who's interested the instructors would have been from "Coastal Survival" and "Bushcraft Expeditions". They both have their own web sites and run their own courses. Bit more expensive than...

Yeah, got til the 15th but looking less likely that a full course could go ahead. On the one hand you have to wonder about planning to run a wild foods course in the dead of winter. Still on the other it does show what I am begining to suspect about some BCUK membership ...... lots of talk about...

Hello Sam I wouldn't worry, most people wouldn't commit themselves this side of Crimbo, and as they don't have to 'til Jan 15th.....

Hey I'm sorry if everyone just wants to discuss clothing but thought it worth mentioning that you can pick up machettes, hachetts, saws etc for about £4 each from Toolstation. I know you pay for what you get with tools but it's good to have a backup if your pride-n-joy breaks on you, and...

Thanks again for the ideas. The Guyot Designs (Backpacker) and Gsi (Duckjug) look a bit exy I'm sure I will find something. cheers

Hi guys, thanks for the replies. I want to cook in it mostly, but want to be able to carry water too if I need to (in the ruck sack without leaking). I will check out the Wilko tea caddy, cheers. I think what i need is a screw top tin of some sort. By the way Wilkinsons have cutlery caddys for...

Well done Sam. Paid my deposit too. Hope this goes ahead, don't think people realise this is a good deal. From experience I known Bushcraft Expeditions run very good courses. As for Coastal Survival, they were involved in the wild foods week-end last month so the very positive post course...

Hello everyone, could I pick your collective brains please? I am after a cooking vessel that can perform the dual role of also being able to carry water securely if/when needed. Something like a Zebra head billie has a locking lid of sorts but I don't think they are properly water tight to...

Sounds great, count me in please. Thanks Rarky Here's the list; 1 man of tanith 2 Rarky B

Can't wait, can't wait (rubbing hands together). Gona start building up the brownie points with 'er in-doors! Well done Tone, thanks.

Hello everyone, I did the Tracking course arranged by our very own Tony Bristow of BCUK this month, which was run by the company Bushcraft Expeditions, and just wanted to say a few words. Firstly thanks to Woody, Stani, Ross and Adam for a great course. If anyone is thinking of doing a course...

Hey mat mac, check out the Forestry Commission and National Trust web sites for what sort of careers there are. There's various other employers too like county councils, private estates and charities. Many of them own land and employ people in various outdoor roles. Need a land management degree...

Hey, thanks for the suggestions, some here I'd never have found/thought of but sound interesting. cheers Rarkster

Tone, sorry if I've caused any confusion but it looks like you have me down twice on the list (Rarky and Rich B). Probably because I have signed posts as each, sorry. Hope this doesn't leave the course short. If it does what about sending out a blanket email to ever member? There always going to...
