I've been hunting high and low for 3m x 3m tarp, but with one silver/heat reflective side and one "normal" side. Has anyone seen one for sale anywhere? Savotta do a lean-to shelter, which has the reflective side, but the pitching options are more limited than a standard tarp...

Just got a pair of Meindl Engadin, one of the two models of non goretex boots I could find here. I'll be out in them this weekend and was planning to give them a good "Dubbin" beforehand. As they're "Nubuck" I thought I'd check out the recommendations online... But now I have just read...

Am looking for a new trekking tent. I'll try and describe what I'm looking for: - lightweight (<3Kg preferable) - for 2 persons + kit (3 person tent?) - long length (I'm tall, so 230cm length is good) - budget flexible, but <300€ is nice :) - 3 season - easy to pitch Suggestions and...

I'm looking at a new pack and have narrowed it down to these two. Both are well made and the seams, zips, straps, etc. appear strong enough to trust when out trekking beyond civilisation. My problem is that i just cant choose :( I have had positive experience of both brands, so i cant...

Are we? Why am I asking? I've been thinking this weekend, about whether we've been slowly pampering ourselves to the point that we're unable to cope with anything outside of the ordinary. And when things do go wrong, do we expect too much from "those responsible" ?? First we have the...

So here is the scenario: The Mrs and I will be at the cabin for a couple of days at New Year (=2 mouths) Icefishing will be on the cards, but we will probably bring home what we catch, rather than eat it there. I want to take the ingredients with me. I usually like to cook outdoors...

Any personal recommendations for a kettle for use on an open fire. - will be used solely for making tea/coffee - will be mostly stood on a mesh/grill that sits over the fire, handle needed occasionaly - capacity around 1.2 litre (suitable for warms drinks for 2-4 people) - doesn't need to...

Am looking for some decent paracord. Have searched this forum and seen some criticism of what's available on ebay....but those posts were from 2007...am wondering if things have changed since then? Can anyone recommend any of the stuff currently on ebay? (I'm based in Finland, so...

Anyone seen or used one of these? http://www.riheda.net/suomi/tuotteet_kuenzi.html Any views? Stable? Windshield ok? Durable?

I read a lot of threads about Trangias, very interesting, but most seemed to concentrate on comparing them with other cooking methods, etc. But what about the materials used in Trangias? Aluminium or Ultralight Aluminium? Hard anodized? Non-stick? Hard anodized together with...

I caught a snippet of a British TV series yesterday. There was a guy (30s dark hair, wide brimmed hat) and a lady companion (she seemed to be the "novice"). First they used a ferret to flush out some rabbits from their burrows (trapping them in nets), the lady learned how to break the rabbit's...

So I can't help but notice that this UK-based board seems quite international, so where are you from and where are you now? Born UK/Ireland, living UK/Ireland? Born UK/Ireland, living elsewhere? Born outside UK/Ireland, living in your birth country? Born outside UK/Ireland, living outside...

Good Evening from the land of the midnight sun (and months of darkness in the virtual winter, but no bugger tells you about that :) ) Looking forward to making a contribution to the forum. susi
