Yes the whole tree is poisonous apart from the flesh of the fruit. I believe the poison is nerve agent strongest when you make a tea from the leaves I read somewhere apparently, but I'm going at a guess (don't trust me) but days of boiling the dried wood in water and replacing the water should...

Thanks for the replies guess I'm gonna have to get the girlfriend to treat me :p

So as the title says I would like to learn how to flintknap, I literally know nothing about it. So can anyone give me and other beginners a push in the right direction, tips,the process,book now vids and even what equipment I/we would need? All help appreciated :)

I learnt yesterday as well as my group of happy bushcrafters that we don't need a fire every time we go out, we had our other tasks in mind, one friend was giving spoon carving ago for the first time and I was trying to make a bow which in terrible at and everyone else either helped out or was...

I agree and my one throws globs and I love it I can use it so well compared to the others unfortunately I have bought others thinking they are all the same and nothing beat my first one which was a glob thrower and all the others are just rubbish I have. So where do I find more of these Glob...

Oh fair enough, guess I'll have to get the sewing kit out

Haha nice :) where did you get the cacoon? I read the article on it but couldn't find it anywhere?

What do you use for insulation?

It's wide enough I sit in it sideways like I'm about to do teddy bear rolls :) but Yeah that one does seem better I can imagine the diagonal is bigger as I got narrower but longer, and your one is cheaper. Wish I had seen it few years back!

It's dead comfy too! The sleeping space is about 3.2m so it doesn't get tight around your head because there is extra space above :) but it is extremely breathable the wind literally goes straight through it

I was thinking about the condensation which is why I was thinking only a bit covered with it the bottom third of the sock or something wasn't sure. And my hammock its from paradise hammocks and mine has grown 12 cm

I have a £15 olive green poncho from Amazon, it has 6 eyelets I believe and cordage on each one, so theoretically I would stop while wearing this and attach the front of it to something, take a couple steps back and attach the back then sit down and take my head Out and I would be under it...

Yeah it's from paradise hammocks http://www.paradisehammocks.co.uk/en/single-travel-hammock/11-travel-hammock-single-green.html Although I just measured it and it seems to have grown 12cm haha I have had it for 3 years ish. and I'm 6 ft tall

That is pretty much what I was thinking of making :) and yeah they are annoying because of the noise with space blankets , but I was hoping of preventing that by pinning/glueing it down between two layers of fabric? I will have to prototype this

to me that's the best explanation I've seen and the more you learn the more you make of it :)

Okay so yes that British army jungle sleeping bag does look good for an idea, and this makes sense it having to be the same size as me not the hammock ans just position it as well as the wind proof barrier. My friend once used a massive 3 m long space blanket once and it did keep him warm...

okay so for the last couple of times I have used my hammock I have been quite cold and waking up at early hours. I realise that I need more insulation and I have had no luck finding anything but homemade solutions have been used I've noticed. So I want to make something to help. 1.underquilt...
