For a dreamy trip to Canadian nostalgia, watch Bill Mason's "The Song of the Paddle" on YouTube. For a more recent adventure, try Paul Kirtley's videos about his solo descent of the Barents River. When stuck in during the first lockdown, I found both to be a wonderful source of escape. If...

Merry Christmas one and all

very nice!

New style Scout logos very nicely made. Anyone out there hesitating, get a set for your troop.

I use sniper tape on my feet to protect from blisters. It also works well to keep dressings in use when working / playing outdoors.

Thanks for that. I will experiment and see how it goes.

+1 for Nalgene bottles for larger amounts: they are expensive, but they work. For a weekend, however, I have found a selection of food colouring bottles, small but very secure, have worked well. I also use them as pre-measured "shots" of maple syrup for pancakes/fancy coffee, etc. Thanks to...

Also, is the grey vest / waistcoat still available?

Hi Are the long johns still available? Are they ullfrotte wool ones? ATB

Fjallraven eBay- there are several "hiking knickers" (I think that's the term in the US - certainly heard it used in Canada in the '90s when I lived there). Also look at "Capri" style Craghoppers. I too liked breeks but don't see many around apart from in the shooting world. Tweed was used in...

Hi IMHO this looks like a Mors type of knife. If you're after a really good interpretation, get a Rob Evans Bushtool instead: there'll be no issues with the steel if you do. Sorry, don't mean to hijack the thread, just interested in a knife I'd never heard of before.

Sorry, can't confirm that as I don't know about the US model's link to the Nalgene bottle. I'd really like a metal canteen that fits the Crusader mk1 - any information out there?

Just for information: the mark one BCB stainless steel cup (the one shown in the thread above) also fits onto the Nalgene canteen eg...

I tend to wear a short sleeved synthetic top under my long sleeved merino tops - this has reduced the itch effect and allows me to remove the merino if I overheat - I run hot! Just back from a morning's wildfowling. Dropped a cartridge into the sea so had to plunge arm in to retrieve it while...

+1 on dark materials +1 on 2" cheap eBay lens Even Scottish sun can start a fire with the above (!?!)

I'm with Dave Budd too. I went on a remote first aid course where one of the instructors dished out packs of 50 knuckle plasters (of a type he called "industrial strength" - can't get at any right now so can't remember brand name) and told us to bin anything else in the plaster line apart from...

I have used the Pathfinder bushpot (smaller version) for a while now and really prefer it to the Zebra because of the folding handles, recessed lid (upon which one can balance/pour coals for baking), bail and pouring spout. I can follow the "Mors" approach to stuffing kit into it too. I...

Hello all. This is a new thread, albeit one that links to an earlier, withdrawn one. I am enjoying using the F1 that was so kindly offered to me earlier this year. I am still curious about the H1, so I'd like to try to find a used one in reasonable condition ASAP. If anyone has one available...

Mr John Fenna of this parish is a source of excellent information about DIY clothing. If you contact him I'm sure he'll be able to help.
