    Net or no net Hammock

    No No no, I feel the tiny little gits will still get in if the net is not sown in. You can always unzip it and fold away. P.S. plus one vote for the EasyHammock.

    Net or no net Hammock

    The DD will let you unzip the mossy net , how else do you get it! It can be very easy to set the net well above the head so it is well out of the way of the face. I would never consider a hammock without a built in net any more. Get in zip up, sleep, not shut in, wake up, still not shut is but...

    Most popular/successful Fire lighting in the UK

    I also have mixed feelings about ferro rods. If I can use a ferro rod, surely you can use a "bic" lighter ; both factory produced. However are we trying to be true to a moment in time or to guarantee a cup of tea. For a cuppa then I would have a lump of cotton wool sealed in candle wax. Water...

    what is the best technique for using a fero rod

    I have tried so many times to get the "hold the rod still" to work but with very little success. I now tend to make the flame separate to the main fire and carry the lit birch bark (normally) to the fire pit.

    Fixed Drip Line

    Got bored so I knocked up a small mod to my hammock lines. Cut a rectangular piece of cloth, in my case a bit of denim. Fold length ways and pass between the two hanger lines Stitch the cloth in place under the lines, tight enough to touch, loose enough to slide. I also folded one corner of the...

    hammock tent or tarp

    Wynnchester at 500 quid !! How can these be an answer to someone "wondering" about tent or hammock? It may well be a great final answer for some one but as a stop gap while you think, 500 notes just seems over the top. {NOT a flame just a tightwad talking}

    Washing with limited water

    Since my water rates went up, this is the only way I wash now. Bonus is when I get the bus to town, by 2 stops I have it to myself!

    Climate Change & Survival.

    Corso sir, Thanking like that is like saying "its ok cos he is only *issing in his half of the water tank". I do think there is a real possibility of them cooking off one their special weapons on the launch pad. Still would not stop them from trying again and again.

    Folding Trowel ?

    I really did think the title read "folding towel". I was thinking why would anyone buy a towel that does not fold!!!
