    Can I waterproof my boots with this?...

    I don't want them to be watertight as such... Maybe a bad use of words. Simply want to make them splash proof...I'm wondering if the spray is ok on the material? I've got leather combat boots or my aigle's for proper wet stuff... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Saturday morning sanity check...

    Hi all, Well it is Saturday, and as tradition dictates, that's my "me" time. This weeks bimble was particularly poignant as it was exactly 1 year to the day that my father died...so, with that in my head and heart I set out... This is about 10 acres of mixed deciduous broadleaf woodland on...

    Gerber gator machete

    Anyone got any experience of the gator gerber machete? Looking for something lighter for when I don't need the GB - just for general camp tasks etc. Cheers all... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    A canteen for a 10cm zebra billy...

    Hi all, Does anyone know of a circular canteen that will fit around a 10cm zebra billy? Can be Ti, steel or Ali...just looking to put another small stackable kit together with a trangia burner. Preferably with foldable handles. Cheers! Paul. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Axe, machete or billhook...

    Thought about a Kukhri tommy, but to be fair I am not sold on the shape...prefer the look of all of the previouosly mentioned edged tools. the Churi however is something id be keen to try, but not as a replacement for my GB...

    Axe, machete or billhook...

    13 quid - bargain! For the size of the wood I'm processing for firewood, I'm hoping the parang would be enough. Having already forked out for a GB, which I love, I'm loath to spend more on another axe. I've heard and read good things about the BG parang, but I think the black and orange...

    Axe, machete or billhook...

    Hi all, In a bid to lighten up my daypack somewhat im considering swapping out my GB splitting axe for something, well, lighter. My GB is fantastic, dont get me wrong, but all i use it for is literally splitting down firewood...and very occasionally roughing out a spoon/bowl/kuksa blank. I...

    Saturday morning bimble

    As is fast becoming a tradition to me for Saturdays, i decided to get up at 0500 and go walkabout the farm to see what I can see...as well as cook up some breakfast, brew up, and zero the rifle. Approaching an old poplar plantation I stumbled across this little fella at about...

    Recommend some wellies please!

    Another bump for the aigle parcours! Had mine 5 years and love them. Probably wear them daily, even if it's just walking the dogs. Can use them to work the farm, stand on a shoot peg all day or yomp through the woods in them. You won't regret buying a pair! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Talk of reintroducing lynx

    +1!!! Imagine trying to regulate that!! Any old tom, dick and dirty-harry tootling around the woods with firearms - no thanks! Especially given that anybody can buy an air rifle and make it FAC-rated illegally. Back to the Lynx - There have been calls for years to reintroduce apex predators...

    Dog wander and a few questions...

    I identified it as lords and ladies too...there were a few small purple patches on some of the leaves so that told me what i needed to know. With regards wild cats...its a possibility but i have never seen any in the area and we have no neighbours whose pet moggies could prove to be the...

    Dog wander and a few questions...

    Hi all, On the farm I have certain habitual rounds where I walk the dogs twice daily, always just bimbling along trying to take in as much as I can see from my surroundings. There us an old poplar plantation from the late 1700's which I sometimes pop into and to be honest I generally don't see...
