    Goretex Poncho

    If I understand the goretex fabric properties you need to build up heat to allow the water vapour to pass through the fabric. With a poncho open at the bottom it's not going to allow the build up of heat to pass through.

    Trekking Poles

    We did without a lot of things for centuries. Are we going back to nude foraging and hunting? They can be a great resource, assistance for walking and hills and can be used as support for tarps.

    A fair question likely. ;-)

    What Madness is going on with Trangia Triangle prices!?

    I use these for dragon fuel blocks and a small titanium cup to hold it. Fits a titanium meths stove the same as the Evernew ones. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/154895406380?hash=item24107c552c:g:v0UAAOSwLydiLJXU

    Tutorial Repeat: Waxed leather drinking flask.

    No I couldn't find it. I found the knotted bracelet tutorial and sheath tutorial. I was positive I saved the flask and the bamboo bow tutorial.

    Tutorial Repeat: Waxed leather drinking flask.

    I think I might have the original post saved. It inspired me to get into leather work but I never got round to making one. I’ll have a hunt at the weekend

    Wanted RAY MEARS FLY BOX

    Ladies and gentlemen I’m posting this on behalf of a chum. Ray Mears site has in the past sold the box below. It’s a fly box for fishing but no internal clips or compartments. I’ve never seen them so I’m guessing it was a while ago. If anyone has one and is interested in a trade I can put...

    Back in the boots. Now for the rucksack!

    Got some pics? I remember looking at these packs years ago they were pretty decent. I used to have a pair of the balance pockets for the shoulder straps.

    Sold Emberleaf Woodlore Knife plus sheaths

    Hi for sale is my Emberleaf Woodlore knife plus a number of sheaths and includes the original Woodlore box. I just haven't been using it instead using the three other knives and really enjoying the one a friend made me. I've also been doing more radio and so this is sitting gathering dust(not...

    Woodland MSS manufacturers, Tennier or MHF int. corp.?

    I've gone down the brit sleep system. It's a copy of the Carinthia, lightweight bag, liner and medium weight bag. Wrap them all together and it's a full winter bag. I'm assuming it fits into the issue bivvy bag. Probably a fair bit cheaper too...

    Any Leatherman aficionados about?

    Looks like the PS2 on the left and PS1 on the right. The PS1 is the original and no longer made superseded by lots since the original. They did set the standard.Both great tools and UK legal as they're not locking and have a small blade. I don't know if they're necessarily collectable but...

    Sold Ray Mears Leafcutter rucksack

    If it was half the size it'd be a great rucksack. I do like the good size side pocket and front pocket arrangement. I'm tempted but broke!

    Camper Conversion - Basic Layout options.

    I'm always amazed at the full layouts people put into the van. It must weigh a ton and seriously reduce the efficiency of the vehicle. I remember work doing a build on a van and after putting everyones 'good ideas' in it was overweight with just the racking and stowages.

    No Hip Belt Bag

    The size on your back is critical. The 45 is a sweet spot for many.

    No Hip Belt Bag

    I don't know how much weight you're carrying and I don't know the pack but is it possible that you're carrying too much weight for the pack. The brand is not known for its quality I'm afraid. A short military style pack eg surplus packs, Munro, Karrimor SF Predator, is meant to ride on top of...
