    Soft and silent waterproof jacket?

    To address the issue of cost, one option is to buy a cheap army surplus smock and wear it over a more expensive goretex or other jacket. That avoids spark holes and removes most of the rustle.

    Soft and silent waterproof jacket?

    For all the flak it gets, I still like double Ventile jackets for faffing about in woodland and/or wildfowling. Add a good wool layer or two and you will keep both warm and dry - always allowing for openings to vent if you need to move. While I appreciate that Ventile can burn, I have never...

    Crusader cup mk2

    I've had my Mk1 BCB plastic lid for 5+ years now and no problems. Just home from a weekend with Scouts and enjoyed brews that kept warm but remained drinkable under it while supervising over-excited campers. There's a bloke on Ebay who sells aluminium lids for Crusader mugs (both flavours) at...

    A small collecton of skulls

    Wonderful stuff - thanks for sharing. I’m after a badger skull. So far all the local roadkills seem to have been hit in the head = crushed skull. Is this common for roadkills badgers? I have a selection of skulls that I’m trying to expand. Any dead animals I come across when wandering will...

    Tarp and Sleeping bag - no bivy bag

    I was given a dd hammocks magic blanket. That has become a really useful and very lightweight groundsheet for sleeping out.

    Building in a failure point - Tarps

    I have used tightly wound inner tube round doubled over paracord as a “weak” point in anything round my neck (to avoid being garrotted). It might work as part of a tarp line set up.

    Alpkit Ventile

    I have no direct experience of this jacket. Looking at it, however, I am not keen on the cut. For thrashing around in the woods, I like lots of large pockets and a loose cut to allow for layers. I have used a Westwinds Ventile for several years and love it. Unfortunately I have lost my Covid...

    I'm after a pot..

    I like my smaller stainless steel Pathfinder pot - basically a Mors pot in stainless. It will hold a small stove + a gas cylinder + quite a few packets of dried food (depending on how forcefully you pack them, of course). Its features of a pair of folding handles - large enough to use while...
