    Bushcraft Dogs...

    I take Toby my Border Collie something cross!! He's a big lad with a great nose and wicked ears. He ain't a bad retriver for a Collie, not quick enough to catch them though. For some reason he dosen't like me crawling into my bivi. He runs over and paws me. Probably complaining about his...

    Cheers! I'll see if I can get hold of him. Though about getting in touch with HH, I might give that a go also. I'll prob get another make so I don't have to add extra tying points. Looked at the DD tarp, does look interesting but the stiching I've looked at on pics looks pretty basic...
