    Air rifle scope advice

    Nikko Stirling, Hawke and AGS actually make good budget scopes. You are not shooting over a massive range so you won't require huge amounts of magnification so don't get drawn into the the "Higher levels of magnification make it a better scope" thing. Military snipers are shooting over extreme...

    Water Purification ?

    You can get Iodine drops, but they are not for purification any more. You can no longer buy water sterilisation tablets or drops that are iodine based in Europe. As to using wipes for sterilising water you'd need to know the level of Iodine in the wipe, you could then bleed all of the iodine...

    Cornish RV 3rd to the 6the April

    It's a small event that's run by footsteps of discovery in Cornwall. It's one of the few events that I get to nowadays because of work, but because I will be there as part of Green-Craft I get to meet people that I would have liked to have met through the year. I also get to meet up with those...

    a good head torch

    I have loads of the things, always trialling to find out what's going to be best bang for your buck. I have Petzl elite, petzl zipka, petzl tikka, cybalight by ring, Alpkit Gamma, Alpkit Viper and a streamlight and they're just the LED ones. I liked the Gamma, but they did have a number of...

    Cornish RV 3rd to the 6the April

    Hi Folks, I don't get to a lot of meetups due to work commitments, but I do get to the RV because of work (like a few others on here), I was just wondering who else from BCUK is likely to be at the RV this year?

    Opinion on quality and value

    Yeah that's what I thought. There would be about 18 hours work in there overall, plus cost of materials and shipping to import then shipping and packaging to the recipient and then possibly PayPal fees as well. That would price it at over £300 pounds. Knife makers and leathercrafters virtually...

    Opinion on quality and value

    I am with the others, we do really need more pics. Aesthetically I like the sheath, more pictures of it and the stitching and finishing stitches would be good. The knife looks okay, but I am not so keen on the handle shape. Which Lauri blade are we talking about here (Leuku?). Lauri blades...

    TBS Brown Leather Sheath. Anyone own one?

    Why don't you have a word with some of the makers here, they'd probably make you a sheath that'll give a perfect fit for a very similar price.

    cotton buds with paper stems?

    I bought some a while ago which had paper / card style stems. I may have bought them in Wilkinsons, but I can't be sure.

    Reclaimed Timber (Hunting Lodge)

    To me it looks like a modern designer has taken the idea of a lodge and tried to modernise it. Wrong thing to do really when what you want in a hunting lodge is a bit more traditional or rustic.

    basher brew dartmoor

    That's a lovely looking little meths cooker mate. From what I've read it should do you well. The military bashers are quite good if a little large when packed, but having said that they're a lot better than the old poncho's were as they have a larger footprint and pack down smaller and lighter...

    basher brew dartmoor

    You're definitely getting there.:) What's the stove? At first I thought it looked like one of the little esbit sets, but I am not so sure now.

    dartmoor for a brew

    The moor is an exceptionally beautiful place. haytor 7 had a nice day for it. Dartmoor is one of my favourite places in the world, but it's always worth carrying plenty of kit as the weather can change at the drop of a hat. It's not unusual to go up and sit in the rain for days or go through...

    allegedly "The only knot you'll need to know"

    Thanks for that. It was a knot that I'd learnt years ago and not really practiced a lot, I may use it a little more now.
