Mmmmm....venison! What kind of state was the car in?

I've only been there in the summer, but there is a ski resort very closeby called "Le Markstein" so I'd guess that there's a good chance of snow.... I'd also recommend visiting Petit Ballon rather than Grand Ballon even though it's not quite so high. You can drive to the top of Grand Ballon and...

Hi guys, Thought I'd better post a quick intro as I'm new to the site. I live in Denmark, and while I'm not exactly Ray Mears, I do enjoy spending time in the great outdoors, hiking, hunting, fishing, camping etc. I'm hoping to learn a few tips and tricks from all you bushcrafters, and...

I've got one of these: http://www.rvops.co.uk/petzl-tactikka-xp-headtorch-1933.html Great bit of kit!

I'd recommend a set of termo originals (long underwear and zip neck top), and a Montane or Buffalo under your Arktis smock. I used that set up in the Balkans and was very impressed by it.

Quality stuff! Have you seen the 'webisodes' they put on the website before they lauched season two? http://www.aoltv.com/2011/10/18/the-walking-dead-webisodes/

I contracted Lyme's disease after a tick had bitten through my sock. So I wouldn't recommend that as an effective anti tick method, unless you're wearing armoured socks!

I've never slept in a hammock, but I've fancied trying one of those 'jungle hammocks' (with overhead cover and an insect net) for ages.

Any chance you can tell us what the kit is? It's difficult to see exactly what a rolled up DPM thing is. ;) What's your plan for the trip? Just a short hike from your car? Or a full day hiking cross country across the Beacons? I'd think about bringing a few more things if I were you...

I quite like the look of the wearable one too. It reminds me a bit of the old German Army ones, but hopefully warmer!

I presume this is the kit carry smock you mean? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SAS-KIT-CARRY-SNIPER-SMOCK-XL-Stalking-Hunting-OG-/250896985176?pt=UK_Sporting_Goods_Sports_Clothing_LE&hash=item3a6aa02c58 It certainly does have all the pockets :) , but I don't think it's waterproof at all...

I've already got an Arktis smock which I'm very pleased with, but I'm not too comfortable wearing it for civilian activies as it's in Danish military camo, so I'm on the lookout for an OD smock for hunting/shooting/fishing/mucking about in the woods/general kicking about. I noticed that there...
