I need to upgrade my underpants! :D At the moment I have some Premark cotton boxer shorts which do the job alright but want to get something better. I already own several other Keela products which I'm very happy with so my initial thought was to get some merino wool boxers from them...

At the weekends I get plenty of exercise. Lots of walking, pushing heavy wheelbarrows uphills, moving heavy 75Ah leisure batteries around for electric fences, bashing in wooden fence posts, sawing branches off hedges, trimming foliage and nettles by hand using shears, raking up horse poo from...

Hello all. :) Following on from my previous thread last week asking about mid-layers during winter I now have another question. When out on Dartmoor during the wintertime I currently wear a British army surplus sleeved base layer top (to be replaced by a Keela merino wool one soon). Then on top...

We have a threads for books, music and computer games but non for films. So I thought I'd get the ball rolling...

Hello all of you knowledgeable outdoorsy guys and gals. :) Some advice and suggestions would be appreciated. In between doing horse and field maintenance jobs I sometimes spend hours at a time just standing around or sitting down outside without doing much. During the winter times it can get...

The sun farted in Earths direction recently causing aurora visible as far south as Devon last night. If there's a gap in the clouds tonight they may be visible again.

When cutting down medium sized branches of around 3 to 4 inch diameter I always prefer to use a hand saw because it feels like the safest option. But once the branches are cut down they need trimming and all the smaller branches which are grow out of them removing. This I usually do either by...

Before we start this discussion I respectfully request that we avoid talking about global politics and instead keep this thread on the subject of bushcraft and homesteading. So I think it would be best to avoid sharing our personal opinions regarding the moral rights or wrongs of what any...

Whenever I walk up steep hills wearing wellies or ankle length boots my socks always seem to slowly work their way down and periodically need pulling back up. Any tips on how to stop this happening?

As the genuine Berghaus Munro side pockets are so hard to find and expensive when they do occasionally come up I was wondering what alternative options will fit? Apparently the Deuter external pockets fit the Munro perfectly but they seem to be out of stock everywhere. Are there and other...

I'm considering buying a Berghaus Munro 35l rucksack and have a few questions: 1. How rain resistant is it? 2. Are there any dry bags which are designed to fit perfectly inside the Munro? 3. Can extra side pockets/pouches be attached to the outside if I ever want more space? 4. Does anyone on...

Has anyone here had any experience with New Forest Clothing? I am considering buying some trousers from them.

For some strange reason my previous advert for this knife was not showing up in the "What's New" latest posts tab of the forum so I'm going to try reposting here again to see if it works this time around (mods please feel free to delete the other Helle advert). Helle Utvaer for sale It has...

Has anyone here ever used trouser twists (aka twisters, trouser elastics or ankle ties) who would be able to share their experience of them? The bottom of my trousers often get damp when walking through long grass and I wondered if these might help.

Helle Utvaer for sale It has been used but is still in good condition apart from a few minor cosmetic blemishes. As you would expect any blade with a polished mirror finish there are a few slight scratches but these are all superficial and do not effect the function in anyway. There are also a...

Black Keela Munro jacket for sale This jacket is brand new. I bought it a few months ago and have only worn it once for about two hours when I went for a gentle walk on a windy day to test it out. It is still in absolute perfect mint condition like new. There is no sign of wear on it anywhere...

Hypothetical question. An interesting thought experiment for you experienced bushcrafters to consider and discuss. Over the past few years I've noticed there seems to have been a dramatic increase in the number of refugees moving around the world and permanently living on the road. There’s...

I need to buy a head-torch and hopefully some of you knowledgeable people with experience of using them can help me select which one to buy. It will mostly be used at home rather than outside so does not need to be powerful or anything fancy. One thing which it must have though is either its own...

Hi guys, A bit of advice wanted regarding washing a Snugpak Jungle Blanket. What cleaning product should I ask my girlfriend to put in the washing machine when washing it? We have some Nikwax Tech Wash in the cupboard or should we just use whatever regular washing up detergent/soap we usually...
