GoLite tipis are a bit like marmite, personally I love them. I use the Shangri-La 5 with ground sheet a good deal and I think it rocks. I also have the inner tent in case of midges. The new design does have a porch area which is useful. Full range here. Note that the 3 does not have a porch...

Vicious little blighters

Well according to this post FMs may be spared them, gets my vote as a good advantage for paying to be a FM.

Yes I have just installed AdBlock so that one is solved. I was more focussed on why the site has gone to advertising. I will search for some explanation. I thought this was one of the last bastions of t'Internet not prostituting itself to the advertising industry.

I keep seeing adverts for pink high heeled shoes. Now I'm all for a bit of fancy dress but these adverts seem very out of place here, especially as I cough up for membership. So some questions... 1. Can I switch them off? 2. If not, can they be sense checked so they are at least vaguely suitable...

Exceptional find, nice pics too!

I've been dusting off some kit for Spring/Summer use and been thinking about Alpkit. I've had a couple of problems with their products as well. Nothing really major and I've not really complained. I'm never sure if it is me or what. But by way of a long term usage review, here are my comments...

Agree with Dougster on balance. And not regular segments on Bushcraft as far as I can tell. Missed opportunity!

Thought this was worth pointing out. I'm split between two thoughts: a) a pretty meaningless clip making bushcraft seem like some sort of fashion statement and b) at least the notion of getting outdoors and doing stuff - especially for the young - is being promoted, plus the guy who did the...

Mine has arrived safely. Many thanks, Chris

Yes it is excellent. Been watching it. Also went to an RGS lecture by Dale Templar the Series Producer - I was amazed how ingenious they all had to be to get some of the shots. There is a load of stuff on the BBC site in this vein. BBC Natural History at its best. Definitely a fan.

I coughed up. Knife off to get its sheath.

Will the relatively hard winter not have reduced numbers considerably? No reason to be complacent I realise, but was wondering?

I enjoyed it too, even the bias. The view that Scotland was a barbaric nowheresville before the Union brought order, and that the Scots actually quite liked being sorted out - and crucially benefited from it enormously - is an interesting angle (not that I necessarily agree with it). I am very...

Buffalo stuff is great

Because my knees are shot and I can't walk with a heavy pack for any real distance these days, I mostly get out and about to woodland and campsites, etc., by bicycle which puts a lot less strain on the old joints. Here is my current ride, a Brodie Elan touring bike on the Sustrans C2C route.

I just love the SUITABLE OPTION STOCKED BY WOODLORE column and then the little 'check' box. Once you've coughed up wads of your hard earned pounds, just check here. Product placement par excellence. Lots of Ray wannabes running around with shiny new Woodlore kit. People just like me in fact...

Same observations really. Have a couple of pieces of their kit, going back to MountainSmith days. Robust, military looking, very heavy. Probably over-engineered for most uses. Worth the money? Too many variables to say outright - if money is not a major problem, you don't mind the weight and you...

Done. Apologies for the delay.

Payment sent, many thanks!
