    Win a copy of Tristan Gooley's New Book - How To Read Trees

    I have his other books and this would be nice too. This is our Quince tree. It has lived in the back garden for many years. The flowers are beautiful and the fruit makes a very good jam. We got it after I collected some Quince pears from the woods I used to be a 'keeper on and made some 'Jelly...

    Survival Scarf / Shemagh Combo.

    Personally i find the shemaghs a little too bulky when used as a scarf and a little too small when used as a head covering. I prefer a cheche. Made of thin cotton, 5 or 6 feet long and about 2 feet wide or so. It's long enough to wrap round the head and tuck in with some spare to use as a face...

    Anyone using a BCUK Spyderco?

    Yes mine does get used a fair bit. It's my go to fixed blade. Custom scales i selected fitted by a good friend. I made the leather sheath. Can't say I've ever had a problem with the blade chipping myself. if i need to break bone i use the back of the blade and smack the bone when under tension...

    Oilskin Watchcoat Pattern

    My experience of unlined waxed cotton clothing isn't good. the wax goes through the garment and rubs off on the clothes underneath - shirt, jumper, trousers etc. I think you would find the garment far nicer to wear if you were to line it as well. as long as a lined garment fits in with the...

    Advanced field wound care with medical grade manuka honey & other specialised non adheent antiseptic dressings.

    IIRC honey has been used to help heal wounds for many many years. It was used in the war, in Vietnam, and i think there may be some records of the Romans using it?

    Native Americans Russell Means

    Discussion is fine. what is not so good is mocking someone for their belief. As is always the case on this forum if you want to have a grown up discussion please do so without ridicule or belittling and, of course, the same is expected from all parties on all sides. Thanks

    winter coat that packs down small?!

    HI I'm looking for a waterproof, winter coat (fleece lined or padded) but it must be able to pack down small - say to the size of a 3 season sleeping bag or so. Decent pockets would be useful too. Any ideas? I've only seen large waterproof that don't pack down or padded jackets which aren't...

    Favourite cooking setup

    we will normally have a fire, maybe with a gas briefcase stove for a quick brew. It tends to be static camps with a fire pit etc. so not a problem to spread out. 2017-07-02_17.08.47 by Mark Aspell, on Flickr IMG_3849-01-01 by Mark Aspell, on Flickr IMG_4630-01 by Mark Aspell, on Flickr...

    The Sissy Stick

    I take issue with the name sissy stick. seems very sensible to me to aim to keep all my fingers attached - maybe that's just me getting old though!
