Hi Which model is it?

I have been lucky enough to acquire a second hand Ventile jacket recently. I bought it because I had used a (borrowed) similar one when on a course, pre the present international unpleasantness. In steady, heavy rain and wind while faffing about in woodland and open areas for a week, I found...

Unfortunately I live a long way north of any Alpkit shops so a polite email will have to do.

Thanks Robson - nice advice. Foraging law in U.K. does not permit the digging up of roots, tubers etc without specific permission, so I'll have to wait until next season as I don't wish to upset anyone.

So, 2 votes to go ahead. I tend to agree as I'm still okay. If anyone has anymore information, please share it.

Thanks Paul - I am hopeful that the project will be successful.

I found a wonderful supply of black currants near the coast this morning. As I merrily foraged along the path, I found two forms of currant on the bushes as illustrated in the attached pictures. I have tasted both types and both taste equally pleasant. My concern is that one is covered with a...

Thanks for your input. The article is useful.

Thanks for the information. I have to hike to the local river to find garlic and it tends to be taken by others, hence my desire to plant some of my own. I may try a couple of big pots first as I intend to cook with it. I would not worry if it went wild but some of my neighbors might, so a pot...

Ok, thanks i'll give it a try on Monday.

I have had a Pathfinder pan for about three years now. I find it very good and would recommend it if you can get one.

I recently bought two dormant wild garlic (Allium ursinum) plants from a herb nursery on Black Isle. My garden is generally well drained as we are on sandstone and the garden used to be part of a farmyard so there are lots and lots and lots of lovely stones to aid the drainage. I do have a lower...

Hi I have an Alpkit Brukit Jackal that has a burner that will not screw on to gas canisters anymore. The rest of the kit is fine so I'd like to try to find a replacement burner. Does anyone have one? Does anyone know if an alternative will fit? I have tried Alpkit directly, but they don't have...

Hi I watched the video on the maker's site. Which poles does this version come with? I imagine that this is a single person shelter - please confirm. Thanks

Lovely work and nicely presented. Good luck with your enterprise.

Loch Maree is a classic but will be a wee bit "fly-y" at this time of year Maybe consider joining The Song of the Paddle group to focus the information you need. Whatever you do, be careful and have fun.

I have an old model Dave Canterbury smaller knife - can't recall the exact name but it was made by Blind Horse Knives - that is a trade knife pattern. It's about 5mm thick so is a bit of a beast... however, it does cut well despite its size. I've butchered a deer with it - not the neatest of...

I can't contribute anything to this thread as I never realised that there was so much to know about anvils. Thanks for sharing and creating the post. I am going to look for a sledge once the auctions open.

Nice job
