    Semi-winter shelter options

    Where has Bilmo gone? I was looking for this and the website is a single page and the Bilmo Bushgear Facebook I found is just politics? I’ve bought from Bilmo before but think I did it via pm on here. Like to see this. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Flu vaccine

    I’ve been vaccinated for over 20 years. I came down with a tickle in my chest the day before Christmas Eve. I was unwell Christmas Eve itself. Christmas Day I got up, did presents, put the Turkey on and put myself to bed. I lost the next 3 days. Blew out plans for New Year. Temperature, stomach...

    Chemical blueing

    Stripping it will get a more even finish. You need to build it up and it will look pretty good. I have a project on my bench now. I will try to do it and take photos this week for you. It’s never going to last like hot bluing but that isn’t really what it’s about. Sent from my iPhone using...

    Chemical blueing

    Yes. Try the birchwood Casey paste. It works pretty well. You can remove blue very easily with a soak in vinegar. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Roof Tents - iKamper

    Just to mention also. You set up, put all your stuff in your tent ready for the night, then realise you need to drive down to the shops. This is why I went for a Land Rover tent rather than a roof tent. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Sheath addons.

    Dave is putting on a secondary. It’s good of him to pick up but the original maker has had a lot of issues. Regardless, it was my design, my bad. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Sheath addons.

    My custom job is Elmax and it’s been great. I made a mistake in my design of using a scandi grind on a hunting knife though and chipped the very fine edge while hacking out a trophy. Dave Budd has it at the moment for a pretty serious regrind. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Do you DPM or not and why?

    Anyone not currently serving is not allowed to wear military camouflage at Bisley certainly and I believe it is generally not allowed on Military ranges under civilian use. Elsewhere on ranges you might get away with it but clubs are becoming a bit more media savvy these days and nobody wants...

    Worst case scenario

    Nomad64, buddy, let's not stretch this debate. The creation as described in the bible was based on thousands of years of verbal tradition. Look at the sequence it describes and look how close it mirrors science now. Pretty amazing really! Now PTSD. It is undoubtedly abused as a mechanism to get...

    Blanket jackets, I just don't get it?

    Got to say "Here we go again!" Mountaingoat you can be controversial without being offensive. We in the "whittling community" are being really patient with you but you seriously need to learn some social skills. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Blanket jackets, I just don't get it?

    The Twodogs smock is a classic BCUK garment! It's great for sitting by the fire and to wear in my pit when it turns chilly. It also makes a great impromptu kip mat. It's comfortable, it breathes, it has a huge hood to block out that pesky draft. I had mine cut long so it covers my back and butt...

    Do you DPM or not and why?

    I do wear camo, mostly I suppose because I hunt and a significant part of my outdoors wardrobe is camo. Beyond that I have developed a bit of an interest in the subject and I have everything from Tigerstripe to Realtree. My least favourite is my issue MTP! DPM, Flectarn or Realtree works well in...

    It's that time of year again...

    Legality of living in a yurt in the UK...

    Not really. People get funny about caravans. They have primal connections to "travellers" or Gypsy folk. We rocked up to our new piece of land and plonked a little touring caravan on it to use as a feed store and toilet. The planning officer turned up in 48 hours following up on loads of tip...

    I'm on record as not being the biggest fan this style of knife but I genuinely like that one. Good luck with the sale! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
