If you look at the longer description you'll see that it is available in 'Tac OD'. Which I must say I am relieved to see since, personally, I find that non-tactical olive drab clashes so much...

I've walked many parts of the North Downs Way. Keep meaning to do the Pilgrims Way at some point. Damn it - this year I will! There, I've said it: this year I will do the Pilgrim's Way!

What I use all depends. If on my own then I tend to do the same thing as your first picture. If with others then we tend to have a bigger (heavier) pot, and will use an A frame.

I'm more interested in the quality of the item. If the cheap copy is no good, I'll buy the expensive version. If the cheap copy is just as good as the expensive item then the cheap copy is fine by me. I don't see what ethics has to do with it. Look at it this way - if the company producing the...

When you said Romantic (as opposed to romantic) I was thinking Byron and Shelley swanning around the Lake District in baggy shirts trying to get laid.

Kingmaker is a damn good board game. And Diplomacy.

Yes, I know what you mean about what makes it a 'bushcraft' knife. As you rightly say, a knife is a knife. And we all probably use them for the same tasks, more or less. I suppose a better way to think about it is not defining it as a 'bushcraft knife' for how it is used, but defining it as a...

Bugger. Been meaning to watch this the last couple of nights, and I missed it! Something good comes on TV and I miss it....typical.

Looking for some suggestions. I'd like a lightweight (summer) smock. I'm thinking of something that's little more just one layer of fabric - preferably in cotton ripstop (but can be swayed). I don't really want it in camo, just good old plain olive green. Or maybe I should just stick with a...

Pete Postlethwaite carked it as well. I really loved his films. What a shame.

Written on the toilet wall in a place I used to work: 'ROMANI EUNT DOMUS'

Well I'll mix it up a bit and put in a vote for the Snugpak Sleeka Forces 35. I love mine and it's by far the pack I use the most. The day it dies I'll go out and buy another.

Yes, the General Public are such fools. Come on, everyone, let's laugh at the silly little people.

You know what, I reckon we're due a coracle renaissance! Let the Canadians keep their canoes, here in the UK we should embrace out Celtic past and look to the coracle. I'm looking forward to seeing a group of UK bushcrafters, Karrimors et al, doing that slightly comical sideways waddle...

I have absolutely no idea what weight I carry. The only scales I use to weigh my kit are my shoulders - if I put it on and think 'sod that' then it's too heavy. I don't really understand this obsession with weight.

Well, I...I...I (gulp) - this like being at a AA meeting. I'll be strong. I PLAY WITH TOY SOLDIERS! Not Warhammer. Not anymore. But historicals. I have a massive collection of circa-1066 stuff, and lots of American War of Independence/Revolutionary War (delete as you prefer), and just...

I like Vegemite. And I like Marmite too. I'm a yeast-extract-scrapped-from-the-bottom-of-a-brewer's-bucket *****.

I have one of their green XL hammocks. Nice. Simple. Basic. Durable. And well worth the ten quid I paid for it. Gets the 'Freetime thumbs-up' from me.

Don't think I've got any bushcrafty New Year's resolutions, but two things I have, well, resolved, to do are: firstly, go to the cinema/theatre at least once and month; and secondly, learn another language (I've chosen French, since I thought a lot school-days French may come back to me and...
