The other thing you could try is buy a pair of running gloves to use as liners inside ski gloves, if you pay extra you can get the ones with magic fingers so she can still use her phone. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Last year I bought some Sealskinz gloves on sale, reduced from £50’to £25. They are fine as long as you are moving/hands warm when they go in. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

With Scouts we say no wellies, they will fill with water, when kayaking/canoeing. I wear Palm Gradient Boots, which are ankle high(hiking boot height), also available as a shoe. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Have you considered speaking to one of the knife makers on this forum to see what they can do, you may be able to get exactly what you want and a more basic version than they currently make if you are buying lots, personalised to your troop, rather than settling for the closest to what you want...

It’s not a full tang, but I bought a load of knives similar to this for our cubs and scouts to learn the basics with. Cheap enough that I don’t worry if they get damaged or we lose them. https://www.clasohlson.com/uk/Craftman's-Knife/p/41-1074 The ones I got weren’t stainless steel though...

Could you not just wear either a normal beanie hat, or buff to save making a hat? If cold when camping I will wear the above to keep warm. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not really bought, but Mark Hill (Hillbill of this parish) does a raffle on his Facebook page and last night I won this S4 This is a bucket list knife and would have taken me ages to save for it. Can’t wait to get out in to the woods in a fortnight and use it for something other than slicing...

Bit of thread drift here.... We do a periodic Pork Pie challenge where we blind taste local pies and shop bought. The ones bought in packs of 4 never score highly and in most cases don’t even get swallowed [emoji1785] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mug shots, tinned meat, mattesons smoked sausage. I use these for work all the time. I have a microwave cup, with a clip on lid, to keep the heat in and make sure the mug shot does it’s job. As for the kettle, you will be surprised what you can cook in it, as you can heat tins, but you need...

FDL is a blast from the past. I remember them from Belize, we had a live one in the office so the Environmental Health Tech could use it in his talks, the dead one in formaldehyde bleached. It had to go after it bit someone on Christmas Eve, the Regimental Enquiry weren’t impressed when they...

I use a combination of OS Maps, which seems to be fine for me if you use press the screen where you are or want to be it gives to the Grid Reference and the Easting/Northings and I use OS Locate, which gives me my Grid Reference and elelvation, when I have a paper map. Sent from my iPhone...

What are you looking for them to do? If you are looking for them to sleep under the stars and use a tarp if it is raining or as a safety/extra layer of protection under a tarp I would look at surplus ex MoD ones, fairly robust and should be fairly cheap. I would avoid the orange survival...

We had an earlier version of the Icarus, called something else though. The poles cross over the sleeping area, so can be put up by one person fairly quickly. It has full height in the living space and sleeping area and was big enough to get camp beds in. Sent using Tapatalk

I remember getting one for free when I bought something else. Never used it until the Ashes of 2005, where I one upped another lad in the office who had a radio and earpiece to listen to the games. Only problem was the screen was too small to see the R in the top right hand corner and I...

I always used to break my Combat Boots in by filling them with hot water, letting them soak for ten minutes and then wearing them. It was always nicer to put your feet in to wet and warm boots, rather than wet and cold On Basic we did a sewer run in the first PT session to get one pair of boots...

I send my jacket to Barbour to get it rewaxed. It is meant to be clean when it goes to them. I believe Barbour recommend cleaning with Water only and specifically say not to put it through a washing machine, from other forums I believe this is because it will strip the wax out of the material...

I have a combination of different coats. A Barbour which needs rewaxing as there is some ingress on the shoulders, where my work rucksack gets carried. A Berghaus goretex 3 in 1, though I rarely have the fleece zipped in to it. I recently updated my trousers for Trespass T75 and at the same...

When I was in the forces, I always slept with the issue bag upside down, that way the flap covered my upper body and kept the rain off me. I’m normally a side sleeper. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have one on every set of keys, plus an old one in my toolbox. Have carried one since I was 13 ish, in those days schools weren’t too bothered, used it to sharpen pencils. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
