any chance of a photo or 2?

Good advice thanks. I will have to register at SOTP. Excellent! I will give them a call. I was in Ostersund, and then Lit, recently. What a beautiful place.

I love my German Army Para Boots (old school version) Don't get anything with goretex - especially in your climate!

Check out http://chuckleshoes.co.uk/ The maker is ex-military and will bend over backwards to accomodate your own design ideas, including things like thin soles. Excellent quality. I don't actually own a pair, but I live in Devon and know a few pairs of feet who do! Really top quality and...

I've been trying to find that stuff in the UK for ages! I can't believe the shops here are uninterested in stocking such a big name brand.

Not a film but "The Alaska Experiment" is a US reality show where some yuppies are sent into Alaska and have to fend for themselves. Here's the first season via youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpOfnsf2r5E&

so utterly jealous of you people. Top floor flat :(

Hi there. I was wondering if any online vendors offer the Tentipi range at discount sale prices at some point during the year? I know Taunton Leisure often have tent sales, but do you know if the Tentipis are included? It would be good to know which websites to keep an eye on for a...

Hi Jaan, I met an Estonian girl and went to visit her recently. Amazing country with a great history. We visited Kohtla-Jarve, her home town, and I've never seen such amazing wildlife. One evening, from a balcony I identified several members of the elusive Narkomaan species and I could have...

Hi everyone, this is my first post on the forum :cool: I thought i'd share a video I came across - a short talk/slideshow by Mikael Strandberg about his year in Siberia. -60c temps and frostbitten noses falling off! Enjoy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Pqg0zIuvzA

I've been looking at getting myself a small folder. First I checked out some Sheffield makers (Ablett, etc) but I've heard some comments about dodgy workmanship at times. So I found a good price on the UK Pen Knife on newgrahams.com - £30 shipped. Has anyone else ordered through their...

More of a Kevin Kostner Waterworld kind of bloke myself. I bet I could whittle myself a nice pair of gills with that sweet sabre of yours!! There are some truly formidable tools on that website. What the dickens is this?! http://www.topsknives.com/product_info.php?cPath=7&products_id=223 or...

Haha great thread - but to carry this knife properly, you'd need a thick Southern US accent I would feel more comfortable if you wore an urban camo bandana (the one that came free with your Action Man knife... um, I mean, Mike Hawk - "My c**k" indeed! - Hellion Survival Sword during your...

Does anyone feedback for the Four Dog titanium Bushcooker DX I or DX II? I've been interested for a while but can't find much about its performance from real users.

CZ is the way to go. The Ruger 10/22 looks great, but this is my first gun and hopefully a bolt-action will make me consider my shots a bit more. If I decide to replace the trigger on the CZ, is the 'Timney' (US) trigger worth getting? Thanks everyone. Now I need to start looking at picking...
