    Pathfinder Stainless mug and bottle

    I very much like mine. I use the water bottle all the time and it's stood up well. The cup I lost but replaced it with a MSP Glacier and found a Stainless pot at Wilderness Gathering that slips into this and makes a nest around the bottle. It's a very neat set up. Sent from my iPhone using...

    Any got a svord hunter drop point

    I succumbed to this beauty in NZ. It's a wonderful weight. Carbon steel, greenstone jade handle with brass fittings. I'd disagree about the quality of the sheath. It's amazingly Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Blandford Black Fly

    Blandford is up the road from me. Yes Blandford Fly is known for its evil bite. That is what the beer is named after. It is a species of black fly. Have a look at this from the local rag. http://www.dorsetlife.co.uk/2015/05/blandfords-most-pernicious-beast/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Inert Brass Cases

    I have amassed rather a lot of unshootable brass cartridge cases in various calibres. I know several people on here like making cuff links, fire starters and other crafts out of them. There is a good few kilos here. This includes .303 British, 308 Winchester, 7.62, 38 Special (some in Nickel)...

    Cooking a leg of lamb over campfire

    A Hangi is a great way of doing a haunch of venison so would undoubtedly work well for a leg of lamb. On a fire my favourite way would be in a Dutch oven long and slow on a bed of shallots with a bottle of red wine and oregano. You need to sear the outside first but then cook it until it falls...

    Socks for your boots - layering?

    Ogri really nailed this in post #2. I swear by the Brigdale socks. Usually coolmax thin socks against my skin with their hiking socks outside. Then you wear whatever you settle on and try on boots to suit. If you do distance, and realistically if you are doing less than 10 miles a day none of...

    Stove in a Land Rover Tent

    I think the X Trail I had before this rated pretty high too. The only other car that fits my needs at the moment is the Landcruiser Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Stove in a Land Rover Tent

    Dude don't get hung up on it. I drive a Discovery because I spend a lot of time in it. It can tow the stuff I need and I can get my wife, 3 kids, a spaniel all our camping or surfing kit in it and go anywhere in it comfortably. I pay my bills working in a technology where I'm always in my head...

    Stove in a Land Rover Tent

    The warranty and recovery cover are pretty amazing. I've had a Series 3 and Defender 110 CSW. They are fun but I do 20,000 miles a year currently so not really an option even on the modern defenders. Novotel on a mountain side with a forever view? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Stove in a Land Rover Tent

    That's interesting Nomad. I wanted it higher because I carry a bit of a back injury and it is usually worse in the cold. I was trying to avoid stooping. I still had 2 spare sections of flue and as you can see I'm miles higher than my roof. The box ive got it on flat packs but actually...

    First Aid and children

    I'm an ACF instructor and it's a core part of the curriculum we teach. It's an essential. We had a 14 year old cadet who failed his assessment 3 times take charge of a scene and render first aid at a car crash only last weekend. Actually I'm thinking of running a first aid course at Bushmoot...
