Cheers guys. Do you think that water from the Thames would be fine after going through these things? I`m guessing yes but just want to make sure.

Hi folks, I`m looking to invest in a water purification system to carry when I`m out and about. I was wondering what is the best system? The straw filter, the bag filter or those filters that go into the top of a water canteen. At the moment the canteen filter is looking good for me. If...

I use method number two and then put it into a lovely little tarp bag purchased from Kit Monster. Using number two means that the excess ridge line acts as a great wrap around cord to keep it neat and tidy.

I love Wolves. I would love to see and hear them in the wild.

Looks good. A bed roll is still something I have to add to my kit.

I don`t think anyone was discussing religion Toddy. I just stated what I will be doing for the solstice and that I am Pagan.

Well, as a Pagan and druid "in training" I cannot wait for the summer solstice. I can`t make it to stonehenge unfortunately but I will be celebrating it by making my prayers and offerings to my gods. For us Druids it`s a very special time, when the gods are at their most powerful. I will...

I have a piece of toilet paper which is the same toilet paper as Ray Mears uses. If I put a roll of it on E-Bay do you think someone will give me a couple of hundred pounds for it seeing as it`s the toilet paper that Ray Mears chooses to use? lol.

Hi folks, Everybody seems to have a different mix for bannock bread. I love eating mine. I use the drop scone method to cook mine. My mix is flour, baking powder, powdered milk and the other basics. I also add some ground cinnamon and dried fruits or ground cinnamon and seeds such as...

Hi folks, I`ve spent the afternoon wandering around my local woodland looking for tinder fungus. I found this growing from a broken Birch. Is this the beginnings of Chaga forming or have I got it completely wrong? By scipio76 at 2011-05-14 By scipio76 at 2011-05-14

Thanks to you all. I didn`t think they were pignuts but it`s good to get confirmation. Cheers.

It looks like it according to this site but, like you, I`m not sure. http://www.countrylovers.co.uk/wfs/pignut.htm

Hi folks, I went to my local wood today looking for Pignuts. I picked what may be Pignut leaves and flowers and photographed them hoping that someone can ID them? I think that I may be wrong and that this is just a weed. There is tons of it growing beside the pathways. Any help would be...
