Spot on there with the garden peas. I did make the tea with boiling water, next time I'll try cooler water.

I made up a batch of Rosebay Willowherb tea last week, truth be told it just tastes a bit leafy. I don't think I got the fermentation bit quite right, I'll have to try again.

I would love to do some of the walks mentioned in Palestinian Walks by Raja Shehadeh but I'm not sure how favourably a bunch of British tourists would be received. I'll have to content myself by following the trails on google maps for now.

I had one of these for ages, it works very well: https://www.cadetdirect.com/future-soldier-sleeplite-folding-sleeping-mat?gclid=Cj0KCQjwvO2IBhCzARIsALw3ASogr_yUVDgKW33Ap_gmN-OJji7yIomH5aV5cs6ZYCexRzdpzDg6X2YaAlIEEALw_wcB But as the Hammock-Man says, just find a foam mat you like and chop it...

I'm using a Canon Powershot SX510 HS. I've managed to find the settings under the properties. I did sharpen the image up a bit using Google's Snapseed. If you look there's a darker cross which centres just to the top left of the hare's head, that's where there's a wire fence in the way.

This little lady sat there for about 5 minutes in the same pose letting me play around with various camera settings, though I should have written down what settings I actually used and played around with.

Good Afternoon All, Just looking to be pointed in the right direction. I've recently picked up a Canon Powershot SX510 from a member of this forum and it's a cracking camera. I took it out for a spin last night mostly using the neck strap to carry it. Normally when I'm bimbling around the...

Photo taken last night on a little munty, I'm quite happy with the result given I had zoomed into 30x and was resting the camera on a wire fence. This was from my first foray with a proper camera so hopefully the photos will improve in time.

Trangias are great for long slow cooking, risottos and chilis and the like. If you're going to be using the fuel in the winter I would recommend the trangia fuel bottle as it seals really well. I tend to sling my fuel in a canoe bag at the bottom of my sleeping bag overnight in winter, that way...

Treat them like a dog, if a horsefly bites you pick it up and bite it's ear. Jesting aside, marmite works well for dissuading them, I think it's the vitamin B12. That is to say you need to eat the marmite, not just slather it on as a repellent, though that would work to repel people too.

Hi apologies for the delay, you can see a barrel stirrup just by the rear sight, lever that open then you can charge the pistol by lever action.

Edit: Price Drop to £90.

Ahh excellent, thank you, got one on order.

Does anyone know where to get a USGI Canteen cup Stove/Stand, or indeed has one to swap? The Canteen and cup fit nicely in my smock pocket but it's always a bit frustrating finding two stick suitable to standing the cup on to brew up. Cheers, Ollie

I remember these from about 10 years ago it burnt so cleanly that I often didn't see the flames around my mug and burnt myself. I understand that they're not produced any more. The closest alternative you would have is the firedragon gel, which you can pick up at go outdoors. Happy hunting though.

Glad to see you're getting along nicely, Springfields is great, I get a lot of kit from them, luckily they're online only at the moment or I could see my wallet getting a lot lighter. I've found stainless great to work with as it's less susceptible to rusting and I frequently forget to oil my...

That's the way to go, cheap and cheerful to start with, I picked up a load for Mora 511 for about £5 each for my scouts. Until you develop the muscle memory and techniques you won't feel much difference between a knife that works and a knife that works but is also expensive. With the Axe just...

I tend not to wear a daysack if I go out for the day and just put everything in my smock, from memory I've got: Bottom left pocket: Possibles Pouch (Knife, ferro rod, lighters, waxed fire lighters, bug repellent, vaseline, midge net, puritabs, fishing kit, ductape, snare wire and, coffee...

On the rare occasion that I use a tin I've tended to use the tin opener on my clasp knife, the only issue is it's a struggle to open the knife itself, no amount of oiling the joint will ease up the pressure from the spring. Edit: Spelling

Good Morning All, Just tapping into the collective wisdom, I've treated myself to a midi size ammo can primarily for the purpose of collecting the scouts knives before a hike and handing them back out once we get to camp. What I don't want to do is get any of them scratched in transit so I...
