Normally I am either on the Moor or I have bits to do with work. I am working on one closer to home for me, but at the moment it's not forthcoming.

Good Luck, as the others have said Fitness will play a big part. Expect the infantry fitness level to be a higher requirement than that of the RLC. If you get through into the infantry there are a lot of things that you can do, ICE (Infantry Combat Engineer) what we used to call Assualt Pioneers...

Cool. Look forward to it. :D

Guys, I am in Newton Abbot. If I am available (not working) I'd like to make it along.

I look at Chilli Con Carne I read "Chilli with meat", it doesn't specify what meat or whether it's minced or diced. The simplest way of making a chilli is using what's easily available and this is a basic recipe with a few alternatives thrown in. 20ml vegetable oil / chilli oil. 240g tin chilli...

Dave, at one stage I used to do a lot on Snow and Ice, be it glacier walking or ice climbing, they had a good rep because at one stage they were probably the best you could get for that job. I can't say what they are like now as I don't honestly know as the ,most recent set of Bolle glasses I...

The ones from LePrevo are good. The only thing that I found difficult to get were long stem eyelets, strangely that was solved at my local haberdashery where they sell them (god knows why, but it's handy). I also use eyelets with considerably larger internal diameter (upto 21mm internal), if you...

Ever since getting back from South Georgia on days where we have high levels of UV I've suffered with migraine if I don't wear decent sunglasses. I use Oakley's, Gargoyles and Raybans most of the time, but I still have a set of Bolle Irex which I have used when snow and ice climbing and although...

Many Happy Returns Pete.

What thickness of leather and how large diameter hole are you looking for??

Andy, have a search on google for rug clips. if it says horse rug clips that'll do the job as well I would say. Have a look see what you think.

False, I still have a hallway. The next person to post will be investing in a billy can.

true the next person has more than one saw.

False. The next person has wondered what it's like to wear traditional moccasins.

If we are talking about the Small Forest Axe and not the GB Scandinavian Forest Axe then I would look at the 800gm trekking axe. I used one for 6 weeks or so this summer for general camp craft and it is a pretty capable little axe. It makes a good little splitter.

A lot of the jobs that used to be available are no longer there. Many of the specialized centres have been closed down and the training has been outsourced to civilian companies. By all means have a go at getting outdoor ed qualifications from the military JSMEL (summer and winter) and ML...

Lucky man and happy Christmas :)

I believe you to be wrong here, sorry Red. That is disgraceful. That's more like it. Quite correct, I have some coming from my local dairy, it's the only time of year that I will eat desserts or cream. Unfortunately both of you are oh' so wrong. Nope. That's getting closer, if you...

I know the feeling. Congratulations and I hope to see at the virtual hearth for many years to come.:)
