Kayaking....canoeing. I do both so i call it paddling :) have never quite understood the friction between canoeists and kayakers really. The way I see it is we are all out there enjoying the water and the scenery. Kind of puts a dampener on the sport (or sports for some) when a canoeist blanks a...

I have used mine on quite a few trips and I must say, it is a decent bit of kit. No more resting your head on a lumpy stuff sack full of clothes. It is pricey, but for me, it's one of my most favoured purchases for some time, build quality is excellent too. Steve

A pic of the last time an iPhone was fully charged from the powerpot:

Yep, prussiks work well with the 2mm cord over the paracord, it gives a great bite and will hold your tarp firmly in place on the ridge line :)

Another neat idea when I happen to use meths in very cold weather on the odd occasion is to put a lit tealight candle under the meths burner (for instance underneath the stand on a trangia). This preheats the meths burner and ambient air around the burner to ensure efficient burning. Well, as...

If you want portability and ease of use, you wouldn't go wrong with a trangia. I have had a few different types of stoves and for ease of use, practicality and reliability whilst giving various cooking options and a stable base to cook from then the trangia ticks all the boxes. I use the gas...

The exped ones are good, but the karrimor ones from sportsdirect are adequate as long as you look after them. I have a mix of the both and are used to pack my kayak for trips. No problems with either and they have sat in puddles and still kept my gear dry. although there is a notable difference...

Lot less stretchy in comparison to paracord. Only minor downside that I can find is the fact that knot tying is slightly more fiddly (im probably being over critical)than paracord due to the cord being less stretchy/not as soft so intricate knots may need backing up. Although, I have tested the...

Hi, I thought I would share with you guys a blinding deal on marlow 2mm excel pro cord. Thinner and lighter than paracord and have just swapped over my guylines on my tarp with this. £5.50 for a 30m reel. My thinking was the polyester coating will not soak up the water like paracord (its a...

Hi, i have for sale my army issue camelbak. In great condition, complete with bladder. Good bit of kit but i seem to do more kayaking than anything so end up using a 1.5litre bladder in the back pocket of my pfd. Anyway, 20 quid plus 4 quid postage will buy it. Cheers Steve

Still available for sale

Still for sale folks!

Someone will give in to the temptation hopefully! It's only been used a few times, Great bit of kit and with the additional extras it's a steal. Genuine sale, I would keep it if the wife would let me have a crossbow and a recurve, but unfortunately I'm on weapon rations! (And both items are just...

Hi yes it has a threaded insert :) oh and of anyone would like to view it in person or try it out that's fine by me. I'm based just outside Lockerbie.

Will also consider a trade for a crossbow...

Hi, i have for sale my full recurve bow kit, I bought this brand new around 6 months ago and have only used it a few times in the garden. I bought it as an experimental hobby but have decided I would rather shoot crossbow, much more suited to me as a rifleman! Anyway, the kit comes with the...
