if the hole is on the top side and above the waist it wont make much difference as this area is normally covered by your tarp. A bit of tape will stop it ripping futher if is on a part of the bivvy you lie on then you may want to be more careful about making it waterproof

there is indeed a repeat in the pattern but it quite a large area before it repeats. looks very good though and I am very temped to get one

it is well know that any British Army kit can be fixed with black nasty http://www.survivalaids.com/black-nasty-duct-tape :AR15firin

I did see an artic expedition try to save weight. One thing they did was cut unused items from there kit ie washing labels and spare buttons unused draw strings and extra flaps of over hang material ect Ditch the GPS for a (cut down) map and compass. the extra skill required to navigate...

the sad part is I threw away and old gazebo only a few weeks ago I could of made up some custom length poles from the legs if I had only thought of it sooner

if it is for a place to sleep then finding a good spot and taking the time to give yourself a good set up is normally not to difficult. what I find harder is a quick stop in foul weather when you want a shelter just for a meal stop As with a lot of bushcraft the greater the need the more...

many thanks. I will take any colours although I have stated my first choice preference above

the wilko pole is just too long in it collapsed position and as for the tent pole being too bendy I think you are right.

I often find myself on the hills as opposed to woodland so I need some form of pole to create a tarp selter I often see walking poles used for this but are there any other options. I was thinking something like this...

I wish you every success with it John

well reading further the explanation does mention open fires and some of the sites do have fire pits. but using the search is not as straight forward as I would like. I may just have been unlucky but this first couple of sites I looked into did not allow open fires. now I have widened my search...

I maybe missing something here so maybe you can educate me but on ukcampsites I can not see any criteria for "open fires" the only option I can see is for "camp fires" and that refers to BBQ type fires

I was worried cast iron might be a little heavy but I will defiantly have a look

well I had seen the bucket type bbq and thought of using that like you suggested. but I will have a look for the cast iron type

Thanks I never thought of that to be fair those guides can be a little misleading. Although they say camp fires allowed they mean BBQ's not necessarily open fires. If you get onto the individual camp websites they sometimes state raised bbqs only so the fields are not scorched

welcome to the best bushcraft forum on the web

can anyone recommend any camp sites that allow open fires in or near to Pembrokeshire I am planning to take a tent and my young son camping. I would love to find a site that wont mind some bushcraft type activates like open fire cooking. It does not need to have a lot in the way of facilities...

its just the fact I have camped out in some places where there is literally no ambient light and it can be a little disorienting if you wake, open your eyes and you can see your hand in front of your face. a low light will enable to find your footwear and warm layer if you need to get up for any...

Well I have a petzl tactikka head torch that has a 5 lumen low mode that will run for 100 hours. but this is still a little bright for what I had in mind. but a small piece of paper and some tape make a good filter over the red half of the light and the result one free low level light :) but I...
