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

    So far as I understand the law. If you have agricultural land you may use it for another purpose such as camping for up to 28 days a year. A yurt is a structure, not a building so long as it has no foundation or is attached to an anchoring point that is cemented in or could otherwise be deemed...

    B.G's new T.V Series

    Fraser has mentioned that he did a bit of tuition for one of the Celebs. Last night one of them came out with a pearl of wisdom "follow the animal trails, they need water too!" Guess who! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ridgeline elite smock latest model?

    Yes the mark 2 Monsoon Elite must have been out for a good couple of years I have had mine at least that long. I like it. I recommended it on another thread earlier today. Very waterproof and reasonable for activity in sub 10 degrees C. I understand the first version was a bit of a plastic...

    Worst case scenario

    Our posts must have crossed Greg. I unreservedly apologise for suggesting Mountaingoat may be a Walt to anybody reading and the man himself. I'm not demanding his MOD90 and accept this information at face value! (My Dad was a Pathfinder too!) However, I reread the whole thread on a PC this...

    Coat suggestions please?

    Twodogs of this forum has started making a ventile smock with a wool lining. I haven't really tested it hard yet as it's been too clement since I bought it but it seems very good. If it's like his wool coats it will become iconic in its usefulness! I've gone with a long back on the coats he has...

    Alt-berg civilian vs military boots

    I've not owned either! My current issue boots are Yaldiz and are bloody awful. Word in the herd is that the Alt Bergs are the one to go for but I'm loathe to buy a pair on line. I'm a European size 46 most reliably and that's not somewhere I can count on wandering in to a surplus shop to find...

    Worst case scenario

    I'm sorry but I'm not engaging in a row on the forum with you. I know and am known by a good number of people on this site in the real world. I don't know you from Adam and owe you nothing. I'm not inclined to think we might get on chum. You have failed to establish your credentials and have...

    Worst case scenario

    Nor will I. I should have joined the army so I could be as cool as you guys. I am not worthy to share forum space with you clearly. Thank you for your service. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Worst case scenario

    So to summarise One of you teaches First Aid to civilians who you firmly believe likely incapable of rendering effective aid. Ignoring the fact that first responders, paramedics etc are just civilians and that some notable action taken by passers by were just civilians too. There is no point...

    Do I need button compass.

    I have one on my day pack. It lives behind one of the velcro morale patches. Not really a U.K. worry but it's the pack I use for the Canadian bush, so never say never. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The Amazing Amazon £50 Challenge! Now it's your turn!

    I think it's a shame. I was actually minded to give this a go. I found a cheap cammo tarp to start off with. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Worst case scenario

    I'm sure. The army has only really recently started training with Celox in latter years How about you give us the benefit of your experience on the points I raise above first? What mob were you with and where did you serve? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
