That looks ace for £21, much cheaper than the commercial versions. This may sound daft but how do you attach it under the hammock as an underblanket?

I'm just outside Bristol, Portishead to be more exact.

I find that if you raise up the hobo stove off a solid surface with two thicker sticks or similar. It seems to burn better and more evenly.

Nice looking knife, cool pattern on the scales. Good to see another knife thats a beast in the hand. I thought it was only mine! Just out of interest what is the thickness at the widest point?

So is the general consensus to not bother with the upgrade to the 980, due to the size of the sensor, not the the megapixels. I know that pixels are no way everything. Maybe I will stick with what I have got until I decide to get a dslr. The main reason I was thinking of an upgrade was to be...

When I came across this camera yesterday I was quite excited about it, the prospect of having full manual controls on a compact camera is a rarity. The full spec can be found here on www.amazon.co.uk My problem is this, I already own a canon IXUS 850is which was the top model at the time...

Lloyd isn't on the forums but if you send your message to me I can contact him for you.

Hi All, tthanks for another good meet. Congratulations to Red Kite for winning the knife raffle. We will have to discuss the 'theme' for the next meet. Here's the group photo from the weekend.

Sorry to put a damper on this but the red kite looks very similar to this photo Originally from http://www.northernkites.org.uk/graphics/kites3.jpg

Am I right in saying that we need to bring our own water? Also shall I bring some firewood?

Ogri - is the homemade underblanket you are refering to the ogripod? And is it suitable for use with a hennessy hammock? A reindeer hide does seem good, especially at that price however I think it would be a bit bulky for backpacking/walking. I am trying to find something that can be fitted into...

I am looking for a sleeping mat for a hennessy hammock. Currently I have 2 options. 1 is to buy 2 wide sleeping mats and create a 'Wing pad' . The second option is to buy an Exped EVA sleeping mat such as this one: http://www.exped.com/exped/web/exped_homepage.nsf/b43HomePageE?openframeset...

I have had the same problem as everyone else. After they were washed they were no longer waterproof. And yes it was below the recommended temperature. I tried holding some water in a cupped palm and after a few seconds it seeped in so I don't think its perspiration this time.

By English I presume you mean inches. ;) 9 7/8" wide x 13" long x 10 1/2" high.

Regular vinegar does the trick quite well. It is easier to leave the metal in a pot of vinegar completely covering the metal. If the metal is only partially covered then you will get a bad rust line between the vinegar and the air. Or you could use vinegar and a cleaning pad or coarse wire wool...

The dimensions are as follows :- 250mm wide x 330mm long x 265mm high.

Thanks for the comments everyone. I was quite pleased to find that it worked. Originally it was going to be a prototype but as it was successful I decided to leave it as it was. I have found 3 things that need to be improved. Rothley bill - Don't know how heavy it is exactly but its not too...

After cooking another lot of jacket potatoes and more delicious pizzas, I thought it was about time I put a few pictures of my oven up. I made it using 0.9mm stainless steel, pop rivets and bolts. The steel is doubled up on the bottom so the bottom layer is sacrificial if it burns through...

I'm not sure if I can make it yet but if I'm free I will be there.

These are a few of my photos. John using the bowdrill. The river near our campsite. Our fire The group photo after I managed to trip over everything in my path (which was all part of the plan to make everyone smile)
