That's a lovely looking little meths cooker mate. From what I've read it should do you well. The military bashers are quite good if a little large when packed, but having said that they're a lot better than the old poncho's were as they have a larger footprint and pack down smaller and lighter...

You're definitely getting there.:) What's the stove? At first I thought it looked like one of the little esbit sets, but I am not so sure now.

The moor is an exceptionally beautiful place. haytor 7 had a nice day for it. Dartmoor is one of my favourite places in the world, but it's always worth carrying plenty of kit as the weather can change at the drop of a hat. It's not unusual to go up and sit in the rain for days or go through...

Thanks for that. It was a knot that I'd learnt years ago and not really practiced a lot, I may use it a little more now.

Normally I am either on the Moor or I have bits to do with work. I am working on one closer to home for me, but at the moment it's not forthcoming.

Good Luck, as the others have said Fitness will play a big part. Expect the infantry fitness level to be a higher requirement than that of the RLC. If you get through into the infantry there are a lot of things that you can do, ICE (Infantry Combat Engineer) what we used to call Assualt Pioneers...

Cool. Look forward to it. :D

Guys, I am in Newton Abbot. If I am available (not working) I'd like to make it along.

I look at Chilli Con Carne I read "Chilli with meat", it doesn't specify what meat or whether it's minced or diced. The simplest way of making a chilli is using what's easily available and this is a basic recipe with a few alternatives thrown in. 20ml vegetable oil / chilli oil. 240g tin chilli...

Dave, at one stage I used to do a lot on Snow and Ice, be it glacier walking or ice climbing, they had a good rep because at one stage they were probably the best you could get for that job. I can't say what they are like now as I don't honestly know as the ,most recent set of Bolle glasses I...

The ones from LePrevo are good. The only thing that I found difficult to get were long stem eyelets, strangely that was solved at my local haberdashery where they sell them (god knows why, but it's handy). I also use eyelets with considerably larger internal diameter (upto 21mm internal), if you...

Ever since getting back from South Georgia on days where we have high levels of UV I've suffered with migraine if I don't wear decent sunglasses. I use Oakley's, Gargoyles and Raybans most of the time, but I still have a set of Bolle Irex which I have used when snow and ice climbing and although...

Many Happy Returns Pete.

What thickness of leather and how large diameter hole are you looking for??

Andy, have a search on google for rug clips. if it says horse rug clips that'll do the job as well I would say. Have a look see what you think.

False The next person will have used a rifle.

False, I still have a hallway. The next person to post will be investing in a billy can.

true the next person has more than one saw.

False. The next person has wondered what it's like to wear traditional moccasins.

If we are talking about the Small Forest Axe and not the GB Scandinavian Forest Axe then I would look at the 800gm trekking axe. I used one for 6 weeks or so this summer for general camp craft and it is a pretty capable little axe. It makes a good little splitter.
