    Wanted Kifaru E&E

    Found out that they do, only they call it the “Park Pack”. It’s not cheap either!

    Wanted Kifaru E&E

    Would be nice if Pocketup offered an improved E&E. Might get in touch with them to see if such a thing is feasible.

    Trapping, numbers game

    Apologies, I got called away so didn’t finish my previous post. Fishing is fishing, trapping is trapping. Both are art forms of their own and deserve to be recognized as such. In terms of trapping, the more you have out the higher your percentage of success. It’s a simple equation, put in the...

    Trapping, numbers game

    Assuming there’s a body of water with fish in it. But then the OP is asking about trapping, not fishing.

    Instinctive Archery. Your experience please.

    You said your problem is consistency, so there you have it. You’ve already identified what’s going wrong. Instinctive archery is unforgiving of imperfection. Work on your form, I recommend Tom Clum’s videos on YouTube for honing your technique, body mechanics and building a consistent shot...

    Waterproof outer layer advice

    Having been issued pretty much every waterproof shell layer manufactured for British forces in the last 20 years, there is no way in hell I would part with my own hard earned cash for any of them. They are ok as issued kit, as a) you didn’t pay for it and b) when it is no longer waterproof...

    Spare fuel in the car

    It’s a difference of mindset. I like to have things that I don’t necessarily need, because it’s better that I have them in the rare eventuality that I need them. I carry a spare jerry of diesel in the truck. Have I ever needed to use it? No. Does keeping it in the back of my truck inconvenience...

    Mushrooms as a survival food.

    They offer very little from a nutritional standpoint. Low in calories, very little protein, zero fat and low carb too. They’ll fill an empty stomach, but you won’t be surviving on them if you’re running a calorie deficit.

    Home for the weekend

    I find the Hennessey hammocks to be of higher quality in terms of construction and materials used. I much prefer the design as a side sleeper, I’ve never been uncomfortable or experienced any back/neck pain in a Hennessey. They are bulky and heavy though. I have slept in one in 40mph winds in...

    Filson coats/smock Reduced

    What colour would you say the smock is? It’s hard to tell from the photos as in some it looks grey, others it looks olive.

    Outlast on Netflix

    I did the same. Car crash tv for sure. You’ll learn more about humanity than survival from that programme. It was entertaining though if you like watching soggy people having hissy fits.

    What a good knife to use for cooking and bushcraft

    https://www.robertdyas.co.uk/kitchen-devils-control-small-cook-s-knife I’ve had one of these for 15 years. If you can only have one knife as a cook, then go for one of these. Absolute bargain, I have Global knives, but this is the most frequently used knife in my kitchen. So £12 on a Kitchen...
