Sorry, can't confirm that as I don't know about the US model's link to the Nalgene bottle. I'd really like a metal canteen that fits the Crusader mk1 - any information out there?

Just for information: the mark one BCB stainless steel cup (the one shown in the thread above) also fits onto the Nalgene canteen eg...

I tend to wear a short sleeved synthetic top under my long sleeved merino tops - this has reduced the itch effect and allows me to remove the merino if I overheat - I run hot! Just back from a morning's wildfowling. Dropped a cartridge into the sea so had to plunge arm in to retrieve it while...

+1 on dark materials +1 on 2" cheap eBay lens Even Scottish sun can start a fire with the above (!?!)

I'm with Dave Budd too. I went on a remote first aid course where one of the instructors dished out packs of 50 knuckle plasters (of a type he called "industrial strength" - can't get at any right now so can't remember brand name) and told us to bin anything else in the plaster line apart from...

I have used the Pathfinder bushpot (smaller version) for a while now and really prefer it to the Zebra because of the folding handles, recessed lid (upon which one can balance/pour coals for baking), bail and pouring spout. I can follow the "Mors" approach to stuffing kit into it too. I...

Hello all. This is a new thread, albeit one that links to an earlier, withdrawn one. I am enjoying using the F1 that was so kindly offered to me earlier this year. I am still curious about the H1, so I'd like to try to find a used one in reasonable condition ASAP. If anyone has one available...

Mr John Fenna of this parish is a source of excellent information about DIY clothing. If you contact him I'm sure he'll be able to help.

+1 for Berghaus Alp. Had mine since 80s and it's still ok - some repairs and changes over the decades but used it to shepherd DofE group c6 weeks ago with no problems.

Ok. Time will tell! Thanks for the information.

Great! Thanks for your replies - both much appreciated. I've chosen a boiler and am hoping it's all that I hoped for. ATB

Thanks. Please let me know what the price will be so I can square it with leadership team.

Sorry for late reply - been socially distanced in the woods with some Scout age kids making shelters, fire and pancakes despite the amber rain warning for the Grampians. I think that the term is type 2 fun: good in retrospect

What would be the cost, please?

Fair enough! I'm planning to take my F1 on my coming DSC1. I fancy a more rounded handle but would need to be able to carry it in a boilable sheath.

Question that may reveal the depth of my ignorance: will the micarta handled F1 fit the standard F1 sheaths - "plastic" and leather? Thanks

Thanks. I suspect they may be a little too large in that case.

Hi Do you by any chance have the old / international Scout logo? Thanks

Hi, what's the fit like? I have found size 280 "kraut" boots a comfortable fit.

I've discovered an over-burdened elder (sambucus nigra) in the local woods. Is it possible to use the berries to flavour gin or other spirits, eg vodka? If the answer is yes, my question is then how? Advice, insights, links welcomed.
