Garlic bannock, what a great idea :)

Can any one tell me - definitively - if a new Shangri-La 3 floor (this one) will fit an old Hex 3 shelter (the dark green SilNylon one that immediately preceeded the Shangrl-La 3)? I've looked around and can't find anywhere that says it definitively will fit though I assume it does. Help! Chris

Tires would make a big difference. Even more so, you will be amazed how much easier it is to travel faster and longer on a proper road machine, especially one designed to carry loaded panniers. No comparison. Edinburgh Bicycle have been in the game for a long time and have quality links with the...

My views however clichéd and obvious are firm on this (FWIW). I don't think adapting to what we perceive is the public view is going to make any difference. It is not the knife that is the problem, so much as some of the idiots that carry them. The anti-knife lobby doesn't discriminate against...

Quite interested in the Wild Country tent. Do you have a weight for it? Is there an equivalent in the current range? Chris

You say you want to do serious distances on-road and carry weight, in which case there is really no substitute for a dedicated tourer. Though you are talking about some very serious daily distances there!! This is a great touring bike for the money. Such bikes will go up in spec and price from...

Saw the second episode (and the first). The most inspiring character by far IMO was the Franciscan monk at the beginning. That said, clearly St Francis wouldn't have had a guy with a camera hanging around. But beyond that contrivance what came through is that those with the least to offer, often...

Can't comment on these pants in particular but I recently spent 4 months in Canada and I must say all the MEC products I bought were great. And that's quite a few. It's pretty hard to say with pants especially if you can't try them, but from my experience MEC does instill confidence in getting a...

Can't speak for other lighters on that page, but I bought a Turboflame Military and I wouldn't buy another. I've reverted to cheapos.

Yup, done all that. Mine is actually working at the moment. But been here before. Next refill, who knows. Poor product. Enough soap boxing though! Those deal extreme jobbies look the biz, cheap enough to chuck.

Great blog cariboo

goodjob :)

Yes please Lawrence!

No consistent luck with mine. Followed all FAQs to the letter, right gas from Maplins, bleeding, etc. Never really works properly. I'd personally not recommend these lighters, they're rubbish IMHO, I'd certainly never rely on mine in anger. I thought it might be me, but I've seen a few similar...

2nd dibs on the book if John doesn't want it. Been after a copy for ages!

1984, always a good read during an election campaign!

Just found 4 waiting for me at home. Many thanks. Chris

Nice documentary movies on that site, the Bill Mason ones are classics :)

Not a movie as such, and not new to this forum, but Lars Monsen's Nordkalotten series is available on YouTube with English subtitles thanks to the excellent channel set up by Opoi0 :You_Rock_ Just been watching them again myself. Really great Bushcrafty TV. Lars is the real deal, a real tough...

Curious, I just got one which has now run out and I am having exactly the same problem! I'll let you know if I figure it out, please do likewise ;) Chris
