Yep my daughter and I have been collecting them, we have found a lot of giants aswell, I wonder if it’s anything to do with whatever made apple trees go mad with their fruiting this year?

That’s nice, I like that

Nice, I quite like those low profile roof racks

Made a replica 1901 naval pattern rifle sling today, not really bushcraft but it’s still part of my journey! I made this as I will never find an original and I have a naval long lee that needed one! Used the dimensions and spec laid down in the 1901 admiralty list of changes document to get it...

Dental floss makes surpringly good whipping cord for smaller ropes aswell

Yes I have, I used a large 10k Dixie pot and my fire pit to boil the water (took ages). Then used rit nylon dye. It was a medium sized sling type bag I dyed, it worked surpringly well. It was black and white and I dyed it black all over

Nah it’s a Fuji digital, x100v - I love it, o do have some wet film stuff though, and my brother had a darkroom in his spare room. If I shoot anything film it’s black and white :)

Made a small wrist strap for my camera today, sewn and riveted, horween chromexcell as it’s lovely and soft for straps etc.

Thanks Trev, I have been casing the leather - that’s taken a fair bit of trial and error - to wet it to dry and it doesn’t work!

Ritza tiger thread, I get mine from stonesfield leather in 0.6mm and 0.8mm (I mainly use 0.8)

Why can’t you get it where you are? Want me to post you a jar lol

I have had a pair of Nikon sportstar 10x25 which are small and go in a pocket, I use them quite often for watching wildlife that’s in relative close proximity, or picking out movement of n the medium distance. I want a bigger pair but don’t want to carry (or pay) lol

I have a 20mm thermarest and while it can fit inside I don’t like it, and I too use mine on a ground tarp - I use a small footprint from an old one person tent that got binned years ago

I have bivi slept a lot, from envelope bivis, to single hoops to my terra move double hoop and ventilation is the key. In the double hoop that’s easy as it has vents too and bottom, but in the envelope or single hoop less so. In the envelope style I used to just sleep with my face exposed, and...

Hooray! Report back please, I am not expecting fully dry but over a coat I am expecting to stay almost dry and warm. Is the material quiet or noisy?

Thanks that’s great, I am looking for something I can throw over a coat and take off again when the rain stops. What does it pack down like?

I have been wondering about getting one of those, I favour a cotton canvas jacket in the woods which is fine in a shower or light rain, but I have been thinking about getting a poncho to carry to throw on if it’s heavier rain. I have been looking at the paramo and the Fjallraven ones, @Paul_B...

Presumably all cars emit the same emissions when parked and switched off. I.E none…. Hows that work then?

I found this in a charity shop a few years ago, wonderful heavy weight dense weave blanket, it’s also big, about 6ft x 8ft, one of my favourite ever finds.

Looks heavenly
