A bit late to this party but I've some experience of caravan and camper-van living - not full time, but used when working away from home for extended periods. As anyone might guess, summers are relatively easy other than sometimes being too warm to sleep well - but it is easy to resort to a...

Frankly, I'd ignore that! It looks like a very minor shake on a single lamination that I doubt will ever effect the performance of the limbs. ATB Ogri the trog

Welcome aboard Rflw 10mm sounds right for the diameter of the rod itself, whereas 16mm sounds like it refers to the size of the handle. Though I could be wrong ATB Ogri the trog

Always lusted after things like that, but could never afford it so went a slightly different track but kept with V twins. Thanks for posting Ogri the trog

Amen to that - whilst the Moot is set for a dry part of the year, please remember that it is Wales and one or two days are bound to rain - huddling inside a small tent or under a tiny tarp gets old real quick. Think of it as a camping holiday with learning opportunities, rather than a strict...

I've been following Jas Townsend for a while now, always find the videos interesting and though-provoking - I just wish I could remember some of the recipes whenever I go to the woods. Cheers for the heads-up Steve Ogri the trog

Short answer - yes there is! Long answer; Get a large plastic ground sheet/tarp, one that is bigger than the floor of the tent - this is important - about a meter larger, both wider and longer. Cut a large "T" shape into the ground sheet - (you can put duct tape along the cut lines to help...

Seconded! My youngest pretty much runs feral at the Moot, only returning to camp when hungry or long past bedtime. It will take a day or two for them to adjust and find a few friends - but it will happen. If you've been before, you will know the general lay-out of the site and also that you'd...

Sent this..... Hi Geronimo, Welcome to BushcraftUK. With reference to your knife sales thread; I will not be "Approving" your first thread as some members might view it as "Advertising or offering a sale while not being a paid up member". Selling through the forum is a perk reserved...

Hurst's, buried in some dark backwater of both memory and location in a corner of Hampshire. I visited there a few times and the title "Emporium" would barely begin to describe the place - they had everything from Officers Mess cutlery to Military shunting engines and everything in between. I...

Ha ha, not yet, but seeing as the timing belt has recently shredded itself on my car - I might have a few in a week or so! ATB Ogri the trog

I'd do exactly that Tony, Remove the lens and fit a cover, and open any flaps or covers. Make sure it was as dry as possible and then set about very carefully removing any large accumulations with a soft plastic pick, short bristle brushes (old toothbrush for example) gradually working smaller...

Welcome aboard Seems like you've already listed the essentials, tent, sleeping gear, stove and cooking kit - everything else is just "toys"! ATB Ogri the trog

I think if the conversion is planned properly, you should be able to use it during the work - it will just improve as time goes on. Have a long term plan of a layout and sequence the most important things to get done in an order that works for you. Ventilation will be important if you want to...

Good morning and welcome to the forum. Whereabouts are you, I'm just outside Llanidloes! ATB Ogri the trog

If you are pruning out willow shoots nearby, why not use strips of willow bark to bind it in place..... ATB Ogri the trog

That looks as though it has the potential to do a lot of damage in a short space of time. Ogri the trog
