Haven't been posting much recently, I've just been so busy. Anyway, last week I walked 25km~ across The Black Mountain with an overnight stop near Garreg Las. This was my first time properly walking in this area and wow it's absolutely stunning. After leaving the main paths around Llyn y Fan...

Hi, before buying some, I thought I'd ask here first. I'm looking for white camouflage netting approximately 2mx2m (enough to cover a bivi) for using whilst dogsbodying for search and rescue dogs this winter (praying for more snow). Looking for something of good quality like army surplus etc...

Thanks Pattree, to be totally honest, I'm getting one because my son wanted one after seeing them on Minecraft. It's actually better if he can't create a spark :lmao:

Thank you, my son is only 6, it's for him really. Hopefully he doesn't burn the house down.

Nope, traditional flint & steel is what I'm after. I just ordered one from Beaver Bushcraft

Hi everyone, My son wants a flint & steel (after seeing them on Minecraft) so I may as well get a good functioning one. Any recommendations? Thank you.

The smaller one is my sons bivouac!

I managed to find a pack that I've been looking for for ages. An Alpiniste 7 with the full length front zip. This thing is a beauty! Extended, It's big enough that you can literally get inside it an use as a bivouac.

I need one of these!

Just up the road then! You must be busy up there, too!

In todays sea of blacks and greys, I do like to add a splash of colour!

Another pack for the museum.. And a pack of OS map symbol flashcard which I got lucky enough to find. ]

Yeah, I suppose that is true. I've only been on two outdoor training exercises so far so just going on what I have done so far. Central Beacons, and yourself? Are you enjoying it? I'm guessing you must be if you're still there after 9 years.

The first was during a briefing at the RV which was held in a car park next to the control vehicle, the second was on steep ground in a coal quarry. Both times there was rain (it is Wales after all :lmao: ) The information I took for the casualty card was time on site, name and DOB of...

I would love to have a go at making homemade butter.

Who said I don't need another? :lmao:

They look great! I have a Rite in the Rain notepad. Might get those too.

This is what I ended up using, although a really cheap horrible one. But it was great because no need for a sharpener.

That is interesting. I've had two full day exercises now, which I thoroughly enjoyed, the first one I took notes of the details of a missing person/possible despondent including things like clothes last seen wearing, favourite alcoholic drink etc. and the second exercise, a multi agency large...
