    Fjällräven or Swazi smock?

    I have the anorak No 8 and love it. Well waxed in appropriate places I have no issue with water proofness and I’m in north Scotland so it rains a bit and blows a hoolie! If need be I wear a Montane extreme smock underneath and then I’m toastie. I considered the Swazi also, but am fed up with...

    Whats this lot worth

    It's worth very little. It's a low end field target bow and the aluminium arrows are not expensive to buy new. I doubt you'd get more than £50 for it depending upon condition

    FREE 2 Adult tickets for the Crannog Centre, Loch Tay

    We went last Saturday and it was brilliant. Our guide was a German? Lady. Very informative. Everything was shown to us and demonstrated. They couldn’t be more helpful. They are a charity and have just gotten museum status. Entry is £10 per adult and the ticket lasts a year, so you can go as many...

    TV you enjoy

    Maybe I can, but I prefer to spend the majority of my time outside. If I have something to ask, I ask it. I have neither the time nor feel a requirement to ‘contribute’ to 99% of the threads on this forum. I’m sorry you have nothing better to do than research my ‘stats’ and I’m sorry you can’t...

    Trip Report Loch Moy

    Love the shoes Hamish. The patterns great. Was it difficult to get used to wearing them as they don’t have modern soles and thickness underfoot. I bet you can feel really ‘grounded’ in them

    Free tents and other equipment

    Bit of a leap from tents being left to ‘everyone that goes to a festival is a junkie.’ (That’s the inference your post suggests). What sort of a bunch are ‘those people’? What’s your term of reference for the tents/ some of them not being recycled?

    Archers! Interesting Game

    Yes, i’m well aware of that and the bows ‘let off’ peak/holding weight but you still have to come to full draw through the peal weight. Either way his technique is poor and he is over drawn. A child of that age shouldn’t be pulling 50lbs peak weight bow.

    Archers! Interesting Game

    Great idea. Shame the lads way over-bowed probably causing the poor technique.

    Not bushcraft but definitely traditional !

    Lovely Gary and great woodwork too :)

    Free tents and other equipment

    Old news?! Some festivals ship the stuff out to 3rd world countries. It’s generally cheap nasty stuff that nobody wants; not least the festival goers.

    Loch Etive Gathering - May 5th

    Ooh. I could be interested, depending upon the usual caveats - location, dates etc. Hamish are you meaning Perth as a proposal?

    Going to Avimore

    It’s a fair drive betwix Crannog and Aviemore but if you’re ok with running the A9 gauntlet multiple times then just beware all the average speed cameras. We’re hoping to visit Crannog in a few weeks time when we are down south. Might manage to bump into Hamish :) As for Aviemore it depends on...

    Confession is good for the soul.

    Thats funny because I also have an issue with touching birds. I really dont know why but if they have feathers on I have to wear gloves. I dont have this issue with any other animals. And it makes life a little tricky as we 20+ chickens. I also struggle with plane and fungi ID. I'm rubbish at...

    As the owner of 2 springers (and a pup on the way) our thoughts are with you. Great breed of dog
