I'm waiting on a British Army bivi bag from him...As suggested above a good price but a bit of a saga getting it (posted today hopefully). Consider the DD tarp M, I've tried it twice in poor weather and it's slight extra length really covers the hammock nicely. Size wise it's 3.5m x 2.4m and I...

I've become a bit of a fan of this blog (good info, good humour)...there's a new post on there from the man http://joeoleary1.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/putting-together-realistic-survival-kit.html

He was also involved in Scouting and it's apt that I saw him at a bushcraft corner at the Gilwell Reunion (a leaders only weekend). I was talking to Woodlife's Pablo across their stand, I bend down to take something out of my bag to show him, and became aware of this chain gun chatter from the...

Thought I'd post this for your information. On the Escouts forum there is a section were you can post queries and questions to Wayne Bulpitt who is the United Kingdom Chief Commissioner and who looks after Scouting on a day by day basis. It is a credit to him to do this. In the current issue...

I was helping on the IEAT Scout stand and from the snippets I saw the show looked really good. It will be at the same site next year in late May and early bird tickets are available. Oh and the loos were well looked after through the whole thing although some had lights which slowly changed...

BCUK A chilly but dry day. Here’s a public gallery I did on Facebook of the grand opening https://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/profile.php?id=608177115&sk=photos The day went really well and just flew by. Lots of kit to fondle, demos all day and all ably supported by The Foragers (see this...
