that's a nice looking quiver, I use a back quiver and never had many problems with arrows falling out, a nice neodimium magnet glued in the bottom will sort that out tho. Biggest issue for me is getting them back in and yours has a narrow neck, that may prove a bit difficult as it it is over...

Hi Dan, I've just got back from a couple of weeks hammocking round France and Spain and can tell you, that I use the evenk hitch/and the other one, round the tree and back on itself Ray mears stylee knots to put my hammock up, always have, even before I saw his vids... and my mate camping...

My Kuksa was made from a split Birch log that had seasoned for about a year. I guess I didn't make it the most traditional way.....axe, saw, bushy knife and rasp for the outside, then when it came to hollowing out, the wood seemed like kryptonite so I used a crook knife to a couple of inches...

I can't believe you are not coming this year spencer, I was gonna bring another litre and a half bottle of Jack Daniels to get you singing (snoring in the rain) again!:lmao:

I've got 2 of those, did the most useful thing with them too......... Filled em full of home brew!! if you want to make a burner, I'd follow Demographic's lead and stick to a gas bottle, since you really need 2, one for the donor door and the other for the burner. And they are easier to...

Ive always had good success with putting an old fashioned (glass) milk bottle on it's side at about 20-30 degrees off horizontal, in the cupboard with good old cheese in. The mouth of the bottle is propped up on an old t-shirt or towel to give them some way to climb in and stop the bottle...

where exactly is the meet Jason? There are quite a few threads to read through!!:)

well done mate, I had a similar feeling at the moot, I was using the bowdrill and it was a bit of a bugger, but George was barking instructions at me as I was sweating away and it worked, I got a flame.....great feeling isn't it:) Just need to practice a lot to make it easy...

I think Wayland uses a cotton tarp. I remember he did a bit of a write up on it with a nice pic, but I can't find the thread.:(

I have a DD hammock with probably the same tapes as yours OutdoorNewbie. Mine stretched quite a bit on the first few uses , so much so that I ended up on the grass in the morning!! They still stretch every time I use it but the hammock only drops a foot or so Ive got some 550 paracord...

Matt, Stop there. It is a disease, it's an addiction. Before you know it, you will be in a nice restaurant, your other half will order a steak, then when you look at it, you will dream of eating that steak jerky'd. Quit now before you spend countless pounds on minute steaks and soy...

Hi all, I will be heading up to the moot for the full 5 days from Southampton. Got a twin turbo 4wd estate car and only me and my gear in it, so anyone hampshire ish heading left who wants a lift, pm me

Hi LS, Thats a nice bit of kit. The Universal joint must'v been a bugger to make, however if it fails or needs replacing often, i would recommend using a track rod end off a car steering rack as a replacement, Ive used one before on a homemade electric mountainboard with a trailer. strong...
