Folks, I'm after a UK source of high quality side release buckles and webbing in various sizes and colours. I can find sites selling one but not the other, and vice versa. Any recommendations?

Indeed - clever stuff. Basic idea was that the long wave radiated heat energy passed through the plastic sheet and was reflected down to the sleeper by the space blanket. The warmth of the air is short wave radiated heat so can't escape back through the plastic sheet. Block the ends and you have...

They made a similar shelter in Series 1 Episode 1 of Dual Survial - with a plastic sheet in front of the shelter and a space blanket inside.

That's enough. The water displaces any gas and, when emptied, is replaced by air. The water will come out a bit oily - if it makes you feel better you can refil with water and empty a few more times. You could even fill to three quarters and tip onto it's side and then cut at the top.

X2 - mega easy - bucket of water, some soda crystals, a bit of steel and a battery charger. Easy!

Nice work - shame about the weather eh? I collected a new R1200 GS Adventure in April and have only put a few hundred miles on it - no fun riding in the rain! Next thing - get yourself booked onto a Bikesafe course - cost peanuts and it will move your riding on hugely.

Beautiful blade - are the pins available commercially or did you make them? And what's the story with the chainsaw - why did he have to grab it?

Someone once described Chorizo as the duct tape of the food world, as it'll fix anything. I love it!

Useful IMHO - can't beat having a bit of gucci string knocking about. My buckle is a whistle version - I was walking the dog in some woods a few months and came very close to turning my ankle in a rabbit hole. I didn't have my phone or EDC with me and it got me thinking about how I could summon...

Barn Owl, I have a Sabre 45 which I could swap with you - mine has no side pouches though. Is yours a 45 litre?

You can get sanding mesh now which is a fine mesh covered with carbide grit of various grades. The advantage is that it won't clog with sawdust, and that a 5m roll is about six quid from eBay.

Got an iPhone or similar? Try geocaching. When you read about it, the activity sounds utterly daft - you navigate to a location using the GPS on your phone (or GPS device if you have one) and search for a little box (or cache) which someone else has hidden. You then sign your name to say that...

Does the voltage of the LED need to match that of the battery?

I've got a couple of dry bags I would trade for a pouch or two - some pics of your kit might help?

What trade value would you put on the rifle?

I've fancied one of these for a while - anyone used one? Any good?

The best results I've had with jerky is using a Jerk Spice Mix - in the little Schwartz bottles everything else comes in.

Thanks Sttrory - thought it was going to be the hooded smock - not really what I'm after I'm afraid!
