When you say 'shock cord', do you mean like the shock leader on fishing line? Just wondering if fishing line of the right size / composition actually has some good use in the camping / tarp arena given how small and compact it is, and how much length you can get not much money.

For myself, I've used a couple of slim bungee cords in windy conditions on my tent storm straps - regardless of the tension in the storm straps we'd end up with the wind vibrating the strap and causing varying loud humming sounds, like some sort of giant wind instrument. The quick solution was...

We've just been away for 9 days and I made a simple plastic tray out of an old plastic mattress bag that the delivery company used when we bought it. We have smaller plant / seedling trays at the moment and we were worried about them drying out / dying, so we put a woollen furniture blanket...

I've used paracord 550 in a bunch of forms, mostly sourced from ebay and some from Amazon. You can get beige camo colour at 100m for around £8.00 incl post and its still got 9 core strands. It's super tough but very useable and isn't rigid - you can bend it into tight bites and it holds knots...

I concur, and have done likewise - it's super easy to make and I make a number of pots at the same time, as it's really cost effective for the volume you get. A little goes a long way. This mix has so many other uses - it's a basic hand / nail / dry-skin 'cream', it nourishes wood and works as...

How about a meet-up next weekend for a coffee? I'm free all day Saturday 13th Not sure where everyone is based, but perhaps an easy-to-find café that is somewhere reasonably central - how about Providero at Llandudno Junction, by the train station? https://what3words.com/kiosk.gilding.gender...

Hi Ewan, Not really, I did find plenty of good content on this site and plenty of active participants getting involved with lots of different subject areas within the wider bushcraft area, however I haven't found a local group that I could join, so I've been progressing it more on my own. I've...

Hello All, I'm a new member to the forum and to bushcraft in general. I've evolved an interest in outdoor life over the last 12 months from traditional camping, BBQ cooking, hiking and woodcraft, and am looking to see if there are social meet-up groups in North Wales that would be amenable to...
