    Hi, when you go for a tentipi or similar, and get a stove, have you found you you camp more overall than you did before ?

    UK issue PCS Thermal Smock Sizing ?

    Hi, what sort of sizing is this ? For example on top of a thin fleece, what is a loose freedom of movement size ? Thanks https://www.strikeforcesupplies.co.uk/index.php?method=stock&id=20302

    Ronnie sunshine’s ????

    Hi, Many years ago Ronnie sunshine’s was the go to place for cast iron ware eg I bought a decent Dutch oven. Seems now it’s just guns and non cookware. Rather than risk an Amazon purchase, can anyone recommend a supplier - which could be Amazon - for a cast iron skillet griddle ? Thanks

    Stars !

    Snap decision to go out and canoe camp on an island last night. Balmaha Busy but Loch was quiet. A nice sandy spot for no ticks. I tried a 1 man tent I got cheap in lockdown but I just can’t settle in small tents with low roofs so just slept out under the stars, very clear but a decent down...

    I'm going in still dark but some cracking sunrises, then home in day light.

    What are you preserving?

    I’m tempted to harvest sea buckthorn berries as there is a whole load about 1/2 mile long in the foreshore at Bo’ness. Anyone done any ?

    Polycotton Tarps ?

    Hi, Looking for a winter and fire camping ploycotton or similar tarp supplier like Tatonka or DD. Looks like Tatonka don't have a UK dealer. Have used Tentipi tarps at work on expeds and they were excellent. Any ideas ? https://bushcraftuk.com/community/threads/tentipi.140326/post-1758771
