    How do I know where it’s OK to camp?

    at the end of the day all land is owned, so if you go onto someone else's land in England or Wales (excepting a few special cases) without permission you are in the wrong. it doesn't matter if you think the landowner should or shouldn't be doing. The landowner is in the right and therefore holds...

    Surviving the Stoneage Channel 4

    I was pleased to see Theresa more this episode. I thought she was missing from the first one. I'm sure every person in there can make a perfect shelter. The issue was time I think. The commentary said they only had 1.5 hrs daylight when they found the location. Plus they had been surviving on...

    Opinel keeps sticking

    In the past i have found scorching the wood around the blade to shrink it a little and then oiling has helped keep mine loose. Humidity is the killer on these i have found

    Surviving the Stoneage Channel 4

    Did you have a go with the net? Have you made one of the nets? I assume its different to a standard Gill net. We each know our area. One thing they said is going into another area creates different challenges . Fishing wasn't working for them so they tried another tack. We didn't see all the...

    Blackthorn Hiking Pole Splitting

    The trick is to slow the water loss as much as poss. The wood cracks because the fibres are forced to move too quickly as the water evaporates and the weaker areas seperate. What can you do with this piece? put some form of barrier around it to reduce the water loss. that could be paint, oil...

    Any Shotgun Experts?

    that would be amazing to shoot. I have a few friends with Damascus and/ or BP doubles. even a muzzle loader or two as well! there's a shop near me called Just Cartridges - guess what they sell?! They can deliver (for a fee) if you set up an account and upload a copy of the SGC. they have...

    Billhooks

    This is my Billhook collection. I inherited all but the single handed wooden handled one at the bottom this one lives in my day pack and is surprisingly useful. I got it from Jack years ago, it's a Newton style but i struggled with the beak so took the tip off with a grinder. It's much better...

    lighter / trench lighter/ windproof lighter ideas and suggestions

    i got fed up giving my 'expensive' (£1 or £2) to scouts and never getting them back when on camp so i got a pack of 50 disposable lighters for £5. now i don't have a problem handing out a 10p lighter! not pretty but functional and i can carry several for the weight of something like a zippo for...

    Mountain ( International ) Rescue.

    I think it will certainly save time and is far cheaper than a helicopter which is the current option! Paras normally carry a huge rucksack of kit. i wonder how they are going to carry kit and the jetpack?
