    Covid-19 Travel for exercise - Reasonable distance

    I have to question how much lower the death rate would be if we had a properly funded NHS. True we all have to play our part, but it seems like ALL the blame is being put onto individuals when the NHS has been staved of money and resources for a decade since the Tories came to power. Even the...

    What's on your wish list?

    Now I have recieved my Hammock (Thanks,) a Hammock tent and one of those Titanium stoves. With the lottary win I would buy a large woodland to camp in and build a supershelter in it.

    Covid-19 Travel for exercise - Reasonable distance

    Is not "social distancing" the REAL issue here? People are not wearing masks and passing too close to each other. If those two rules were followed surely the rest is irrelevant? The tighter restrictions being proposed are just to try and enforce those 2 rules as far as I can tell.

    What 3 words

    For someone not familiar with OS maps I find it very useful for tagging locations I have previous camped in and have left resources at. In my experience it's more like a 10m x 10m square though than a 3x3m square it directs you to.

    Jääkäripuukko 110

    I would get the 140 for wood processing and a smaller knife food prep. I have the 140 but its a bit thick for slicing vegies etc. It can do it and I have used it for such but a flat blade is better for food prep. Using just 1 knife for all tasks is a compromise in all scenario's. Once you...

    anyone got / tried one of these ?

    If it looks the same it likely is the same one. How many companies actually produce goods these days? It's a handful of producers and other companies buy an badge them before reselling. This particular stove only came not long ago, I think I was one of the first to spot it and buy it from...

    anyone got / tried one of these ?

    I got one of the ones the OP mentions, its bigger than the Firebox / Bushbox XL but not as well designed. The holes in the grate are too big smaller colas fall through and you lose their heat. You need to put some smaller disameter mesh in there above the main grate and then I also recommend...

    Napsack Hammocks' A.B.C. Tarp Prototype

    Got a hammock coming and have been looking at a new tarp too with extra space I could hang out under when the weather is bad. This looks to be the perfect coverage / size / weight combination and the tie extra loops at the sides look awesome. I would have bought a DD 4x4 already if I had not...
