Hi Tom, Thanks for the kind comments about the videos, it's much appreciated [emoji4] Yeah the wee soldering mat is a great item, you can sit roasting hot pots and cups on it without fear of melting your tent footprint. I checked back on my Ebay purchase history for the mylar bags, but...

I certainly will Sir Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

No worries at all, no offence taken! I know exactly where you're coming from. I'm generally an XL in tops, 44/46" chest. The Buffalo I sold was a 46, and as you say, was a bit tight, especially around the midriff. I'm pretty sure that was the biggest size I could source at the time of purchase...

Yeah that's what I was thinking Mike...stick to what I know is good quality and buy another Buffalo or try something else and risk a drop in quality. Pity there aren't any Arktis stockists around for a bit of hands on. I have never owned any Arktis kit either, it was always too expensive when I...

I'm not sure how to post a link on this via Tapatalk, but if you look on my YouTube channel (Allan Shillinglaw), you'll see me using them on my various long distance hikes of Scotland's Great Trails, especially Great Trossachs Path Day 1 (towards the end), and West Island Way Day 2 I definitely...

I get mine from ebay, just search mylar bags. I ordered a few single ones from a few different places till I found the best ones. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

This is stashed in the cupboard for when I'm cooking or preparing dinner. Only I know where it lives. If it were left to the mercy of the non knife people in the house, it would be trashed and rusty in no time! It is after all only budget steel but it's the best kitchen knife we have! Sent from...

That's the kind of info I was after. It looks good in the photos, but you can't beat a bit of hands on to find out for sure. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Haha, yeah it's the one down again from their Mammoth Shirt. Cheers anyway [emoji1360] Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Hi Guys, Recently sold my Buffalo shirt and am regretting it, but I'm thinking of replacing it with one of these...the Arktis Swat Shirt. Anyone have any experience of them? Any info will be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Allan Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Ha, almost the same! I was 10. My uncle bought me Lofty's book for Christmas that year...was my bible, still is now. Mine is still in pristine condition. I could re write that book to you haha. I wonder how many of the original copies are still kicking around today. Sent from my SM-G950F using...

I'm guessing you're around the mid to late 40's age bracket then Jonathan? [emoji2960] Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

That is the knife I lusted over as a lad as I crawled around the undergrowth pretending to be John Rambo with my cheap Chinese hollow handle survival knife [emoji23] Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Although this is a Bushcraft forum, many members also enjoy other outdoor hobbies such as long distance hiking, myself included. Yes the kit may be different for both hobbies, a lot of it is fundamentally the same, so I often find myself using my lightweight hiking gear on some of my bushcraft...

Hey guys, I'm currently lightening up my long distance hiking gear, and have just purchased this new stove, and thought it might be a worthy wee addition to this thread, as it has certainly took a few hundred grams off my kit. It's called the Speedster Stove. It's a meths stove, and all in...

Yeah it certainly is, feels fantastic in the hand too. Sandy has got his handle shaping down to a tee. I remember him saying on one of his videos that he does it as much by feel as he does by vision. Certainly a master in his craft! ATB, Allan Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Purchased last week but just delivered...Jacklore Classic Number 2, 4mm tapered tang, Stabilised English Yew scales, black G10 liners. And as always, Sandy has been an absolute gentleman to do business with [emoji4] Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Chris, You know more about how the forum works than I do, so I ain't gonna argue lol. I just always assumed that adding photos directly through tapatalk was a benefit of tapatalk, and not because I was a full member...you learn something new every day! And I generally just use tapatalk more...
