    Done... one of these days I'll give it a proper clean out.

    I'll sleep beneath a tree, not a problem, but given the choice between a tent with a stove or wrapping up beneath a tree.. guess which one I'm picking? :D As far as getting the stove going... pre-prepared kindling and some chopped wood packed away neatly in my pack should serve me well. Tin of...

    Woolen blankets on the high street

    I thought of Twodogs immediately, but its not entirely fair to ask for blankets at 9pm on a Wednesday for delivery first thing on a Friday. I shall hunt around the charity shops tomorrow all being well, see what I can find. If all else fails I'll be sleeping in a rather horrid sleeping bag this...

    Woolen blankets on the high street

    Is there a good place to buy woolen blankets on the high street? I want a couple of woolen blankets as I plan to discard my pathetic sleeping bag. Only thing is, the plan is I want to be out and about this weekend... so its unlikely I can order online.

    Well obviously given my medical history, I have an aversion to sleeping in a coffin... I can't see it marrying with me somehow. What is wrong with setting up the tents? I know it'll take time and all the rest of it... but a good nights sleep pays off the following day. Plus, I'm going to need...

    I'll squeeze into a kids size for that price... but blimey... I need to concentrate on my Swedish. I am right that varma skor means hot boots though aren't I? Tell me I've learned just a little Swedish in the past six months other than Mandag, Tisdag, Onsdag, Torsdag. Fredag, Lordag amd Sondag...

    Kia sportage

    Oh boy... the GLK is one nice automobile... why would you ever want rid of a GLK? The Mercedes G63 is a puppy I'd like to own, especially the 6 wheeled AMG monster. V8 engine, technological gadgets galore and 6, six, wheels... that thing is a full English breakfast with extra breakfast. Beans...

    Kia sportage

    I'm currently looking at a new Sportage... they're a solid car from the research I've done. Not sure about the old ones, but the deals on the new ones are pretty damn good.

    BG Bushcraft knife blank, leather & leather making kit: DIY bushcraft knife & sheath

    Fecksticks... missed another bargain. :( Let me know if the sold isn't a sold... I'm being an opportunist, but more than happy to splash the cash.

    Varma skor! Kamik husky barn look like a good deal. Very tempted to buy over there... some nifty gear in that store.

    Last minute might be an understatement... if I can't source everything on my gear list, I may be buying some stuff in Sweden. Main things I'm trying to get sorted are clothes, decent boots, tent and stove... so far I have over-mitts, socks, couple of hats and thermals... have my eye on some...

    Ahh cunning plan. That is the bit I'm not looking forward to... the initial setup. I haven't even got the kit to practise with yet.

    How the devil do you put it together out there though? At the price they're going for, bargain, but so many parts to put together in minus conditions... not so bad if someone sets a stove up first and you can huddle in their tent to set it up. Relies on someone being first though.

    ?

    If you're getting it printed to the canvas, you need to enquire which ink they are using... there are certain so-called eco inks that are not very durable. Also, you may get a better effect for what you're after by asking them to lower the resolution of the print... it will pixelate the image...

    ?

    Given the title of the image is flectarn, presumably you're intending to get the image printed onto canvas, waterproof it and use it as a camouflaged tarp? Either that or you're showing us the burial site of your next victim.

    I'm still in, but its going to be afternoon bananas for me on getting ready. Dave knows the situation and knows I'm still more than up for the trip... and you know a fair bit of it Al, but things took a turn last week in London and I'm trying to get my head around it. I realise I should be...

    Are we still getting hunting licences when we get over there? And obviously implied, are we hunting for some food?

    A Very Happy Brain.....

    Its not the beer you drink, its who you drink it with. People say that nobody has ever found the answer at the bottom of a bottle, but I wager many a happy gang have seen many bottoms of many bottles. Interesting vid, but it is pop-psychology... need proof? Look at the sister vid to this one...
