    M65 combat trousers, can they be beaten ?

    Try the Austrian rip-stop combat trousers. I have used most trousers on the market (surplus & commercial - inc M65's) and nothing compares to these Austrian trousers. I got my first set this time last year and I have since bought two more pairs, they are that good. I wear virtually nothing else...

    Trying to teach myself a bit of foraging(help with ID)

    Its a dock, there are no "spurs" on the back of the leaf. Next time Luke & I come up to the Sussex meet, I'll let you know and we can go for a forage walk if you like, or come up & see us at Foregewood.

    bow drill tensioning?

    I sort of see where you are coming from Calgarychef! And many fall into that trap! (on a recent Instructors weekend, a friend of mine was failed for not having a "bow-shaped bow" (although he had collected all of his materials from the environment around him and was the first to achieve fire!!)...

    Sussex Bushcraft group meet for MAY: 25th to 27th

    I may try to come along on Saturday night, if that is ok with everyone else. I have missed a couple now, plus we need to sort out the "walk-in" weekend. That is the same chute as the new ones we have been using so far this season - they seem really good so far. Also I will have an Argentinian...

    Article: SOTO Pocket Torch

    I have had one for a couple of months. Its very tempermental and not at all reliable. Mine has gone in my teaching fire box, along with a turbo flame, as expensive kit that does'nt do what it says on the box! N

    Sussex Bushcraft Group: Febuary Meet on 25th/26th

    Four to be precise! Driving to D1! - I think my point is proved Robin. The only kit that comes up by viechle is my "group-kit" (the chute,table and iron ware), my personal bergen has all the bits in to live quite happily with (and I can fit through a standard sized door while wearing it). N

    Web-tex and Karrimor

    I have a Sabre 45 and use Webtex 3/4 size side pockets, brilliant bit of kit. They knock spots off the issue ones, extra internal pockets, hydration system compatible!! And they keep my Sabre from being so wide! Neil

    Sussex Bushcraft Group: Febuary Meet on 25th/26th

    We talked about it at the Xmas meet - and decided it would be a little fun. A chance to try a different range of skills (navigation, foraging,etc) and "strip it back" to what it should all be about - carrying less by knowing more! We could meet at Broadstone on Friday night, then on Saturday...
