    Oilskin Watchcoat Pattern

    My experience of unlined waxed cotton clothing isn't good. the wax goes through the garment and rubs off on the clothes underneath - shirt, jumper, trousers etc. I think you would find the garment far nicer to wear if you were to line it as well. as long as a lined garment fits in with the...

    Advanced field wound care with medical grade manuka honey & other specialised non adheent antiseptic dressings.

    IIRC honey has been used to help heal wounds for many many years. It was used in the war, in Vietnam, and i think there may be some records of the Romans using it?

    winter coat that packs down small?!

    HI I'm looking for a waterproof, winter coat (fleece lined or padded) but it must be able to pack down small - say to the size of a 3 season sleeping bag or so. Decent pockets would be useful too. Any ideas? I've only seen large waterproof that don't pack down or padded jackets which aren't...

    Favourite cooking setup

    we will normally have a fire, maybe with a gas briefcase stove for a quick brew. It tends to be static camps with a fire pit etc. so not a problem to spread out. 2017-07-02_17.08.47 by Mark Aspell, on Flickr IMG_3849-01-01 by Mark Aspell, on Flickr IMG_4630-01 by Mark Aspell, on Flickr...

    The Sissy Stick

    Crisis or no crisis?

    Bear in mind too we are in uncharted territory for many. Lots of people have never experienced interest rates above a few %. Lots have never lived through a recession. still more, although alive, weren't old enough to appreciate what was happening. It's only oldies, like me, who remember those...

    Storing Water?

    Hi GK This isn't really a prepping forum, there are other forums that might be able to answer your question in a different way. In terms of 5 gallon containers. If they are food/ water containers fit for human consumption grade plastic then i would think they will be fine. Rotate the water...
