    Recommend a Rucksack

    I've picked up most of the essentials - decent clothes, a good knife, a saw, a cooking stove, a good sleeping bag and roll mat - and i've also got one of those cheap 2 men tents you use at festivals, which will be fine for a weekend or so away.

    Need advice on good shell and sleeping bag for beginner!

    I'm new to bushcraft and looking to make a start on the kit i need to get out and start actually practicing some skills. I've been in the TA so i'm not a complete novice at being in the countryside, but in terms of kit i have almost no idea where to start. I've been told that a good quality...
