    Carbon felt , silicone tubing and micro nipples for alcohol stovies.

    The nipples in the link in actual size are pretty tiny. They are a standard size in RC stuff using nitro methanol. As for the high temp silicone tubing, I think that's just a silly marketing ploy, unless its for a specific industry. We regularly have up to 100 guys racing 1/8th rallycross doing...

    making stoppers on a longline

    You are better tying fixed eye's every 10 or so inches, then larks footing 60-80lb hooked mono (no more than 6' in length) to the eye's. If you use circle hooks, they will set themselves. Simple, cheap and tangle free.

    Escaping with Paracord

    Bushwacker nailed it :) I would wait for the emergency services, and to take my mind off the situation, knock up half a dozen 'survival' barcelets to be presented to my would-be rescuers as tokens of my esteem.

    Teddie Bears Picnic in the woods.

    Ace buddy. As Toddy said, they seem to grow up so quick, but those are they days that will stay with them forever. Mines old enough now to start spending the nights out. Cant wait :)

    Your picture of the day...

    Just an hour or so. Lazy day and not out till late (3pm). Keeping an eye on temps locally. -7 Saturday night. Any lower and I'm off out for the night :)

    best knot to secure to a tent peg - constrictor knot

    If I get what you are asking (possibly). A fixed loop larks foot style around the wasp waist (never heard of such before) will both give you a secure 'knot' and an incorporated eye.

    I visited Auschwitz today

    I've only been to Anne Frank's, that was solemn enough. One part of history that should never be forgotten.

    The big one!!

    Deerhunter Gotland - £50 new online!!

    That's cool buddy. Maybe I was just unlucky. If they had Large on offer, I might reconsider and take a chance for the price :)

    A couple of hammock questions

    looks like a nice but of kit for the price. Mines fixed at 100' (8ft 4') which works out perfect for me as I'm quite tall. You might want to keep it detachable once set so you can still use the hammock as a chair/lounger if you prefer. With the 30 degrees, I always find trees at the same...
