    Survival Scarf / Shemagh Combo.

    Ka-Bar fighting knives

    I remember we all looked at them in the PX in Bahrain and Kuwait. Most were emblazoned with memorial markings. The only one that appealed to me was the USN Mk1 ( I think it's called that) https://www.knivesandtools.co.uk/en/pt/-ka-bar-mark-i-usn-2225-leather-fixed-knife.htm I watched the...

    Beavers released in Hampshire for first time in 400 years

    The release here was a while back, I think it was Knapdale. My wife's uncle was part of the environmental impact report I understand. I've had them on wildlife cam a few times and had eyes on once. The key is dawn/dusk although I understand the canoe safari's on the Tay at Perth see them...

    Beavers released in Hampshire for first time in 400 years

    We have them up here in at least four locations within 8 miles. They are brutal in their handiwork and I can see why people would get upset but I think the re-introduction planned and unplanned is great.

    Who still wears a Swanndri ranger shirt ?

    I have two of the Ranger with the windproof liner, I don't know if they do them anymore. One is new still in a bag and my blue one is a favourite aged about 12 - 13 years old and still going strong.

    Water Bottle/Canteen obsession.

    I usually carry a 3L platypus but I do enjoy using and carrying the Keith Titanium canteens. I ended up with two after a late night boozy eBay session when I bought the second. I've used it often over fires to 'make' water.

    Drawstring problem (on smocks) - has this happened to you? How to solve it?

    Change it out with paracord. If using dyneema you can get micro cord locks that will work with it.
