Some of it will be used for that. My friend often takes her scouts there and that will be one of the projects. It's a big tree so I'm looking forward to seeing the different uses we can come up with.

A friend of mine had some woodland in the New Forest. They felled an ash tree the other day and found it to be completely hollow all the way up. It looks like some Ivy has grown up through the middle and then rotted out leaving a holly up the length of the tree. I'm going to nab a few sections...

Cotswolds near us used to do custom fit superfeet. Not sure if they still do. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk

Another vote for Superfeet.

Consider throwing a silk liner into your bag. Packs down to about the size of an apple and I find it adds almost another season to the bag. Always have mine in there.

I always sleep better and feel better using a tarp and bivvi out hammock. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk

Just seen this after another member commented on a thread that the founder of GoLite has now created Mytrailco. If this is similar to the original GoLite Jam it's a really good back. I think I still prefer the Osprey Exos but I've got my old Jam knocking around somewhere and still dust it off...

Cheers I didn't realise they'd started a new company. I'll have a look at that. What I can't get over with the Be-X stuff is the price, it's ludicrously cheap, the cynic in me doubts the quality for that price, I'm tempted to buy the smaller of the tents though to have a look at. Ideal as a tarp...

Thanks for that. Although the Frontier isn't for me I might have just found a replacement for my Shangri-La 3 in either this or this.

Dear all We're going to be posting in the main forums soon about some future updates that we're currently in the process of setting up for BushcraftUK. BCUK is currently running on a system called vBulletin which is rapidly becoming outdated, unfortunately recent version of VB are not fit for...

Funny I was just about to recommend the Exos, lightest and by far the best bag I've ever owned. Works well for day trips or a few days away quite comfortably. There is a thin frame to keep it off of your back. There is a review in the front section I wrote a few years ago.

Good article, thanks for that. This has been on my list to try for a while now.

Apologies for the picture of a fallow deer it wasn't the author's fault it was ours when inserting the pictures. Hopefully all is good now.

Sounds good, have you got a link for that?

Used to have a Mountain Equipment Ogre Jacket which at the time was one of the best Goretex jackets you could buy. Trouble I found is that it didn't let sweat out fast enough and I had as much water on the inside of the jacket as the outside, got very cold that day. Switched to Paramo and I've...

Haven't tried the Aspira or the Mountain Vent but the Velez Adventure is fantastic.

I love my Saloman 4Ds, since ditching my heavier Meindl's I rarely suffer from blisters any more. To be fair though in most conditions and even in the hills now I'll often wear fell running shoes instead, unless I'm going to be playing around on Scree or doing really technical work I've not...

I'm another one for down, to be honest I've not seen a synthetic that comes close in terms of weight to warmth ratio. My wife and I have both got PHD bags (bought on their sales) and they really are excellent but then they're also seriously pricey for their top end bags.

Not the Five Fingers yet, mainly due to price. I have a couple of pairs of Vivobarefoots, again Gobi or Ra for work, I've also got a set of their trail shoes for the woods. I also quite like Inov-8s although most of them are not 0 drop so can't be considered barefoot but very flexible. I also...
