I would use V92 polyester thread with a size 110 needle. You won’t have to bind or melt the edges , just turn the fabric in so the edges are inside the seam.ie three layers. Straight stitch is fine. No idea about your machine, sorry. Just look up the biggest needle it will take. I would use a...

Patronising :censored:. I have backpacked round the world many times on my own . I suggest you take Nomads suggestion and get off the keyboard. If you are outside I will walk you off your feet even though I have now had 11 ops on my leg to rebuild it.

Looks good, is that an Apache? The Spey is on my hit list , one day.

I have not seen one with spikes but usually the mushroom shaped thingos are for darning woolly socks.

Does not fit in with the pen knife theory but I picked up a 2 piece knife set. Made of plastic, serrated , light weight. The larger one has a 7" blade , bit pointy and is pretty good at bread cutting. Smaller one has a square point 4 1/2 inch blade. Apparently meant for vegetables and picnics...

Take it to your local sailmaker who can do both the canvas repairs and the eyelet replacement. There is a tent repair place in Scotland that is good but the name escapes me at the moment.

I burn those small wooden crates that vegetables come in, thin slats. Burns like rocket fuel. I have the Aussie version of the Kelly kettle , only need a few bits to get a boil going.

We have two here, South East Kent.

Lace it back through the holes until tight and either cut it off or pull to the inside and cut off. If it's tight it won't come undone, if you are worried about it put a dob of Boston inside

So do you own these woodlands that you are suggesting that the op goes to? Or are you advising him to go onto someone else's property?

I have a Japanese Porlex mini grinder. Used with a filter mug. Also use the Lyons coffee bags.

The air vent / hood on my Terra Nova tent kept collapsing so I inserted a bit of strimmer plastic 'wire' into the hem. Works a treat .

That is interesting, I bought the flask and stand at a boot fair last week but the brass bit and the cup were not with it. So is it a Swiss volcano?

It's a nuthatch , we always knew when he was on our bird feeder, we called him Tappy .

I have 4 packs of poles and pegs I bought for a project and have not used. Don't know what nationality they are. 3 pole sections 11inches long and 4 alloy angle pegs 9 inches long in each bag.

I use V92 and V138. For boat covers , sails, horse rugs, canvas n stuff . Depends what size needle you can use I guess.
