    Any body want something 3D printed. I can get Orange filament which is great for the field, stop things getting lost. I can also do a green or brown if that suits. I tend to use what is called "PETG" which is better for outdoors. I will post a few ideas also. I have started a new thread for...

    Thanks, huge thanks, for a grand time. Much drier then expected. Very laid back time this year but still a joy. Super grub, yum yum. So good to touch base with old friends and glad to see new faces. Roll on summer.

I know its dark when I close my eyes, I know there is very little light at night in the woods but the TOTAL darkness, oh no. Not scared of the dark but I...

Both Kim and I spent years in DD and where warm and comfy. Going for a 4x4 tarp instead of the normal 3metres is...

    DD Hammock suspension kit upgrade ideas please and help with set up

    I noticed you did not mention any "under" insulation. I 100% recommend, {to the point of insisting} that you have a CCF mat in the double bottom pocket. An under quilt is nice as well but I found the CCF mat also helped with the bath tub effect. As for hanging:- Cut some of the DD hanging...

    I do believe the OP question was " who make the sharpest edge tool that you have used?", then I am going to have to say ME. { Yeah it was just a Flint shard but that chicken sliced like it was pre-diced!}
