Thanks for the information. I have to hike to the local river to find garlic and it tends to be taken by others, hence my desire to plant some of my own. I may try a couple of big pots first as I intend to cook with it. I would not worry if it went wild but some of my neighbors might, so a pot...

Ok, thanks i'll give it a try on Monday.

I have had a Pathfinder pan for about three years now. I find it very good and would recommend it if you can get one.

I recently bought two dormant wild garlic (Allium ursinum) plants from a herb nursery on Black Isle. My garden is generally well drained as we are on sandstone and the garden used to be part of a farmyard so there are lots and lots and lots of lovely stones to aid the drainage. I do have a lower...

Hi I have an Alpkit Brukit Jackal that has a burner that will not screw on to gas canisters anymore. The rest of the kit is fine so I'd like to try to find a replacement burner. Does anyone have one? Does anyone know if an alternative will fit? I have tried Alpkit directly, but they don't have...

Hi I watched the video on the maker's site. Which poles does this version come with? I imagine that this is a single person shelter - please confirm. Thanks

Lovely work and nicely presented. Good luck with your enterprise.

Loch Maree is a classic but will be a wee bit "fly-y" at this time of year Maybe consider joining The Song of the Paddle group to focus the information you need. Whatever you do, be careful and have fun.

I have an old model Dave Canterbury smaller knife - can't recall the exact name but it was made by Blind Horse Knives - that is a trade knife pattern. It's about 5mm thick so is a bit of a beast... however, it does cut well despite its size. I've butchered a deer with it - not the neatest of...

I can't contribute anything to this thread as I never realised that there was so much to know about anvils. Thanks for sharing and creating the post. I am going to look for a sledge once the auctions open.

Nice job

Bit of research yielded the following information (and added to my bucket list ) https://www.pc.gc.ca/en/pn-np/sk/princealbert/activ/experiences/activ21/a16 https://www.pc.gc.ca/en/pn-np/sk/princealbert/activ/experiences/activ21/i

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grey_Owl Reading a selection of his writing. Some really inspiring stuff (and some more "interesting" ideas on racial stereotypes, but not the focus of my reading). His early conservation efforts are inspiring and still relevant, plus he has some great stories...

Army surplus Crusader bottles are 1l, strong and cheap. If you're not looking to boil them, then they are more than adequate + you can stack a metal cup and lid with them in a cheap and easy to find pouch (with a wee pocket for your puritabs!). My bottles are older than I care to admit but...

When I lived in BC, my best mate and I spent a day carefully navigating through hilly second growth to find a fishing spot that we had heard about. Neither of us was new to bushwacking and we'd both spent several years getting to know the particular area as hikers, fishers and paddlers. After...

If you're looking for some inspiration before you can wander freely, there's part of one of Grey Owl's books that addresses being lost in the forests of north Ontario. "The Men of the Last Frontier" is an entertaining read, albeit a bit "purple" at times. That said, I'm really enjoying...

Please DON'T head north from south of the Wall yet. If you're resident in Scotland, please be sensible and follow the current restrictions so that you don't put unnecessary pressure on the emergency services. As has been said, Raigmore and Dr Grey's have very limited facilities that should be...

Very nice job - thanks for sharing. I feel the need to have another go at carving a kuksa after these inspiring pictures.

Greetings all. I have a Robens Kobuk stove for my tipi tent and am very pleased with it. I'm considering buying a water heater that wraps round the flue/chimney as a way to free up stove space for cooking as I'm finding that a kettle and a pan are all I can safely fit on top. Does anyone have...

Thanks for sharing the link - some interesting recipes for later - when I can have a fire
