    Welcome Royal, hope you aren’t disappointed to find that naked rollmat fighting isn’t considered a form of social on here. I’m often in the south west when not on a pussers grey.

    Best Soap for repelling Insects

    Well what’s a fella to do with a coconut, a hennessey hammock and a litre of skin so soft? :cool:

    Best Soap for repelling Insects

    I can 100% vouch for that, spent a week roughing it on a caye off Belize. Mate and I were pretty much bathing in skin so soft, sand flies didn’t touch us. A lot of the other lads were eaten alive. It was way more effective than Deet. The stink of cheap rum coming off us might have helped too...

    Anyone from Sussex?

    Camped out around Friston forest about 20 odd years ago. It was pretty busy then, worse now! I’d say the juice isn’t worth the squeeze.

    Anyone from Sussex?

    I tend to stay fairly local on the downs. Lots of nice little woods to kip discreetly off the beaten track as long as you don’t mind a walk. There’re a few nice woods out by Littlington, Lullington and Folkington where you will likely be undisturbed. I usually take a stove out to make a decent...

    One of my mates was actually on that. I’ll need one of the ghillie suits from another thread on here ;)

    Anyone from Sussex?

    Generally, where I’m not supposed to. I don’t tend to camp really, more just stopping somewhere to rest up for a few hours. I like to stay on the move. You?

    How to blend into the background?

    I thought that was why a curry was a celebration and not a precursor

    How to blend into the background?

    If you were an SNCO you’d know that just opening your mouth to dispute a pearl of wisdom would earn 50 press ups. Honestly chaps, please don’t go around wearing ghillie suits. It’s extremely weird, hot and inappropriate unless you are out hunting ze Germans. Seriously, please don’t go out in a...

    Air Pistol - Suggestions.

    It doubles nicely as a club. Accurate enough to hit a barn door though

    Doesn’t fit your requirements. But for a true test of marksmanship consider this

    1 year wasted time with Bulgarian custom knife maker (Dulo Knives)

    Did you pay up front? Have you lost any money? I’ve heard good things about Dulo and was considering placing an order myself.

    Your medical kit - its a mess!

    Evening, Devils advocate here. Sterile items have a shelf life, it’s displayed on the packaging. Other items also have shelf lives as they degrade over time and may be less effective. Do you know the shelf life of what’s in your kit? Bearing in mind it has been removed from the sterile packaging...

    My Covid-19 and later projects

    Huge fan of your work John, apologies if teaching you to suck eggs, but have you tried doing a sailmakers whipping? Easier than it looks. Twine coated in beeswax is the way. Best Regards, Andy

    Let’s see your cook kits in use.

    Moka pots make the best coffee. I usually use an Aeropress when I’m out and about. Good coffee, but not as good as a Moka.
