    Swagman Roll colours and opinions?

    thank you for that input. I've been looking at the Desert Night Camo as it's sort of "camo lite" - not Action Man, not plain. If you able to post a few pictures, I'd be grateful.

    Swagman Roll colours and opinions?

    Helikon have a sale at present! Thanks for input. Anyone seen the dark (“chocolate”) brown version? I have their smock in that colour and find it very forgiving on long Scout camps + it blends in with trunks. My fashion sense (yeah, right) worries about overdoing one colour…

    Swagman Roll colours and opinions?

    To the hive mind, I’m thinking of asking nearest and dearest to buy me a Helikon-tex Swagman Roll for Christmas. I’d value input on the following: 1/ is it a useful garment for sitting still at camp and/or observing nature? 2/ what colour do you favour - not DPM or MTP or Woodland as I’ve worn...

    The 'I've found a bargain' thread

    Unfortunately they have an outrageous price policy for “Highlands and Islands” so the England-shire bias strikes again.

    The 'I've found a bargain' thread

    Bargain - looks smart and should show up nicely on the forest floor.

    Folding handle pan

    Nice job. The extra length option is an excellent addition

    Is the Pilgrim still available? If it is, please post pit to pit measurement (in inches if possible) when laid on a flat surface - sorry, but mixed information about sizing online and no reply from stockists.

    Poor quality boots

    Different style could be Clark’s “Active Air” (I think) boots. Built on a wide last so I came down a size. They are very comfortable and have a reasonably grippy sole. Not sure about resoling. Available on eBay for about £60. NOT nasty weather wear unless you have sealskins inside. Very...

    Buffalo 4S Outer sleeping bag

    I had a set in the mid-80s. I liked it when at a basecamp or on exercise with transport. I once humped it around Rannoch Moor and the Grey Corries on a bothying/Munroing AT trip at Easter in snowy conditions. No worries with the wet and abuse. Did dry out damp clothing overnight. BUT...

    Carrying heavy cooking gear

    I've used the Pathfinder Skillet with a lid (? right name?) for overnights and longer trips. Combined with a Mors-type bushpot and the army surplus metal mug + homemade lid that I usually carry = a wide variety of options for cooking different meals, including baking bread. Not real...

    Axe upgrade

    Can I add my 2d worth here, please? I can't comment on splitters as my woodburner has not arrived yet so I don't have any input; however, if Suffolkrafter has the ability to put a shaving edge on a cheapy axe, I'd suggest that he should invest time and skills into sort-of making his own...

    A Few Old Relics on The Mountain

    Thanks for sharing your pictures and walk. The area reminds me of the Sooke Hills outside Victoria, BC. The Galloping Goose Trail is a wonderful cycling/hiking trail. I believe it dates back to the late 1800s. In the museum in Victoria there was a story of a revolver and a money chest being...
