I have a pair bought from Amazon very similar for under £20. I use them in the garden/ workshop as well for the cooler months. I got a size up so i have layering options and room to move. The legs are fairly long so they are rolled up ATM - must get round to sewing them up at some point! They...

i think trousers can be ruined far quicker than a coat with all the hard work it has to do. It is also trying to do multiple things in terms of comfort, flexibility, hard wearing, water proof? etc. etc. I like 5.11 trousers and I've recently tried a couple of the cheap work trousers which i find...

If it's too small for an entire project, how about making it a feature on something else? Gloves - just the back of the hand baseball cap - just the front section or the brim Just a couple of ideas but i'm sure you can come up with far more 'you' type suggestions...

Consider coming to a moot. Either the winter one next month or the summer moot. There will be people at both who are very skilled at bowdrill and very happy to help I'm sure. Best of luck

Whilst these wont win any awards for the best tasting meal ever! they aren't bad. Just not exciting... https://evaq8.co.uk/Survival-Food-Rations/emergency-food-ration-0-5kg-2500-kcal-long-life-survival-biscuits.html Good shelf life and reasonable price.

Very good of you Wayne

What about the sort of things go into a camper van? Propane and 12v

We've spent half the last 12 months travelling Europe, including places like Albania and Bosnia. I was amazed just how many people and countries used English. I commented to one Bosnian guy in his 30's how good his English was. 'we've been learning it since we were 3' was his reply. For us on...

We just googled the recipe and it turned out great! Agree about not squeezing the muslin bag

As always Chris, works of art.

I've made a few pairs of high leg american style moccs. I used to use them bushcrafting but found the restricting factor was the smooth sole and lack of grip. putting a rubber outer sole helps a bit but not to the extent of a modern shoe. As i wasn't LARPing i moved onto the modern barefoot...

When i first started work as gamekeeper at 16 years old my father got me a wax jacket from a market stall. I would ride my 50cc moped half an hour each way in it as well as wear it all day if needed. i reproofed it after 6 months or so and as needed after that. lasted many years and was warmer...

They are great fun and brill to baffle people with in the pub! Perhaps a workshop at the moot?

Wayne, did you manage to sort anything yet? Just wondering if you have a recommendation.

Sounds like some of the campervan MIFI options might work for you. they are often poered by mains or low voltage (generally USB) Or starlink, very pricey though. we're just looking at MIFI in our van at the moment so will be interested to see how this goes...

Exactly my thoughts too Wayne. The only day for me to be offsite would be Friday. Sat and Sun being workshop days. The good thing is because i am a BASC member i can get free tickets to the Game Fair. If i don't make it I've lost nothing!

I've looked into various mobile options for our van and trip. From what i can tell, the main advantage of having an external antenna and wifi on the van is the lack of metal blocking the signal from getting to the antenna. Rather than spend £500 ish and drilling another hole in the roof, at the...

Just wondered if anyone is planning on nipping over to visit the Game Fair whilst at the Moot? It's at Ragley Hall this year, about 3/4 hour away from the Moot site over the Friday, Saturday and Sunday of the core day weekend. I might try and nip over on the Friday if i can. Just a thought... Mark

I have a few spoon knives and gouges but I would like a scorp. Something around an inch or so in diameter. Does anyone have one they are willing to part with? Thanks
