At lunchtime today I decided to grab my rucksack and cycle out of town to walk in the King Forest. After leaving the house I found a sandwich shop for lunch and then rather than looking at a map I decided just to follow my sense of direction. Apart from a short stretch on the A143 I got there...

I use one of these. The crusader cup & bottle fit in the main pouch. I typically carry in the front pocket: honey pocket stove 2012, 5x esbit tablets, bic lighter, tea spoon, 5x coffee satchets, 1x cuppa coup, 1x hot choc, 1x sheet of water purifcation tabs. And some foil to act as a...

I've found some instructions to 'Record what you hear'. You can play your audible book over night, the computer will capture the sound internally and then you can export to mp3. The only disadvantage is the large recording file before its converted to mp3...

Someone already posted tips for decrypting text books for kindle. Its possible to convert audible books too. I suggest installing the audible software for your computer and trying to download and play a book. Audible.co.uk should keep a library of any audible books you've purchased and let...

I've never used these people but I saw them linked from a Luxe Mini Peak II Review. http://oookworks.com/oooknest_mesh.html # Look like they're based in Cumbria

I have a right-handed leather sheath from this guy on ebay and have been quite pleased with it. He also makes left-handed. Example: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HANDMADE-L-HAND-LEATHER-SHEATH-MORA-CLIPPER-510-COMPANION-STEELHOLDER-BROWNBLA-/261039239825?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3cc726b291...

Hi, I've sent you a PM. The Mora is yours if you want it. Tim

Hi Max, I've sent you a PM. Response pack is yours if you want it. Tim

SWMBO has ordered a clear-out and so I have some things to sell. Sorry no trades. Prefer EFT / bank transfer or cheque or cash. You can collect in person if you wish. I’ll post inside the UK. Prices include postage. Laser Comp' 1 tent (Only used twice, excellent condition) + Spare...

Sounds good. Best of luck with your walk and training etc. 20-miles per day sounds reasonable but I'd recommend a day-off per 5, 7 or 10 days. (Or plan to take 2-days off on a flexible basis). It will take a toll on your feet and you'll certainly feel better if you have a day to sort...

Depending on your skills and patience you could try making paracord things like bracelets, lanyards, bottle covers http://www.thebushcraftstore.co.uk/paracord-products-86-c.asp http://stormdrane.blogspot.co.uk/2009/11/paracord-lantern-pouchcan-koozie.html (I bet if you made some of these for...

Sorry, I did not mean to scare anybody. Computer are complicated and the malicous people who write viruses etc are very clever. After looking at the AVG Forum it appears these false positives can happen with an out-of-date or corrupt anti-virus database. Try updating it...

Which operating system, anti-virus software and internet browser are you using? It's possible your browser is just confused and has an out-of-date ssl cert etc, clearing the browser cache might do it? Or somebody could have reported the site and your anti-virus is just playing it safe? Or it...
