+1 for boiling water in a billy, i hang pots if there's no wind, and stand the pot in the flames if it's reaally windy. dutch ovens go in the embers. mugs? siilly billys buy crusader mugs and hang them by complicated means! real bushcrafters use the old school usgi mug. there's always a...

mears, d'ye mind? i'm talking to the bear! awesome! to be fair, mr mears has always had a wry dry sense of humour. i was gobsmacked watching him feeding ewan macgregor hot chocolate in an aluminium mug!!! that's madness!!! then it transpired that it was a rather unpleasant practical joke. well...

sounds like a plan!

sadly the standpipes and taps on troughs are being removed to prevent longterm hedgemonkey settlements from springing up! did the http://ridgeway40.org.uk/ walk earlier this year, tis a delightful patch through southern england. cheers, and.

Me neither! ETA: Yes they definately are/will be alot nicer. Sent from my MB525 using Tapatalk 2

Sloes, yup, warming them near the fire will indeeb make them more palatable. You can also simply hold a couple in your cheeks hamster styley, to warm them through and it'll hve a similar effect. Cheers, and. Sent from my MB525 using Tapatalk 2

this'un looks to be a bit of a bargain too! http://www.my-tool-shed.co.uk/p1014846/Hultafors_Chopping_Axe_850g_Length/product_info.html cheers, and.

glad to hear rabbit made it home ok, in spite of all his solo adventures! see you next year. cheers, and.

i think you'll find the wine is issued separately! there were french rations that used to come with a pack of unfiltered cigarrettes and a wee bottle of brandy if that's what you're thinking of..... the trick with the barquettes (main meal dish) is not to open it too early in the cooking...

i like to soak mine. i make a tray that forms round the spoon from tin foil, so the spoon can sit and soak in it's own little bespoke bath. take the spoon out, hang it up with a piece of cotton so all the excess oil drips back into the bath. then pour the unused oil back into the bottle...

my summer's booked up, but I can have a word with the warden at cranham to get an idea of costs and facilities. Sent from my MB525 using Tapatalk 2

strictly speaking, it's still owned by glos scouts, but yes there is a new warden, and he's friendlier than the old one! cheers, and.

well yeah, i'm up for it. i'm glad you posted draw weights, i was looking at picking up a few POC arrow shafts the other day....... cheers, and.

:cool: that is totally awesome!:You_Rock_ it also serves well to illustrate why having a few bits and pieces about your person is so valuable. tbh, edc kit is very rarely employed as a counter to full on zombie attack, or even in case you're teleported into the wilderness as part of an...

i was paddling down some rapids last year when, due to a brief bout of over confidence i fell out of the canoe! my moterola defy was in my shirt pocket and survived the swim perfectly fine. i've been really pleased with it, small light and compact. the battery lasts a week in airplane mode...

tis a bargain..... but only if you don't have a shed load of kit already, and do have a very good reason for swmbo as to why you've bought more..... cheers, and.

can i just have the american water bottle & cup etc, and pay you the postage? you forgot to list the hacking knife with the posh handle. cheers, and.

i guess i am a little surprised, both at the anti uniform sentiment in general, and especially here where so many bushcrafters wear shirts as a matter of course when out and about. how is a shirt not suitable? why not just have a decent scout leader shirt? but yes, i can envisage that ladies...

ah, poor ghost of henry, he didn't even make decent tea! :lmao: cheers, and.

oh yeah, no problem at all! also survives demonstration dunks in pints of lager. phone calls in the shower are ok, but trying to text in the shower is a nightmare, the screen jumps all over the place. so all in all, judging by the answers in this thread, i'm guessing there's no point in...
