Hey all, a friend with whom I camp quite regular asked me about getting a firebox/stove. I told him all about these great stoves called Woodland Edge firebox stoves, a really versatile bit of kit I told him. Now can he find one anywhere? Nuh!!! Can I find one anywhere? Nuh!!! What happened to...

Hey guys n girls, Last I'd read on hear GYM had been kinda trashed with tractors and diggers and chainsaws. Has anyone been ther recently? How is it? Any updates at all? Just thinking of popping there for a quick overnighter and just wondering if I'm going to be disappointed!! Cheers.

Went out for a cracking two nighter this weekend. It was perfect In every way until Saturday night when the wind dropped completely. At first it was welcome. After about five minutes we realised that the breeze had been keeping the midges at bay!! So, I have two DD Camping hammocks that are In...

Anyone used these guys? Any feedback on service? There's a couple of bits and pieces I fancy. http://www.britisharmysurplus.com/

Ok I've searched and searched so that I didn't have to put a post on here and get mocked severly; but anyone know what the realtree rucksack that Mr Mears is using on the survival show? I would make some excuse as to why I want to know but I know Im going to get a ribbing for asking anyway :-)

Just pickedup a cracking Eastpak daysack from TKMAXX. Prob about 30l stuffed to the seams. It was only £10 but got it for £5 as a crappy internal pocket zip was broken (useless pocket anyhow) only drawback is it's not waterproof. How would I wax it? It would look like a funky Alice pack but...

Hello all, A few of us have been umming and arring about getting ourselves a parachute to cover the 'admin' area of our camps. I saw the big one set up in the fort at last years bushmoot and thats the kind of set up we are on about. However is anyone able to give a quick guide on how to go...

Have been umming and arring for a while about getting myself one of these wee beasties. Has anyone got any experience of them? I've read a few bits on here and they all seem quite positive (bar them being a little too warm). I'm more interested in the sizing issue, I usually take a XXL but...

Hello All, In the past I have used puri tabs to sterilise water in emergency situations. Now I'm looking to pick up a kelly/ghillie/storm kettle as I think it would be damn useful as we are heading towards winter. I usually set up camp near a resevoir which has clean looking but slightly...

Hey guys n' gals, Just a quick one for you, in the local spot which we tend to visit for at least a night every week perfect set up for 3 hammocks, however, I usually go with the OH and my mate, now his OH is interested in coming down but we have a lack of trees. I was wondering if any of you...

Hey guys n gals, Having completely screwed up my current knife (amatuer sharpening) I'm in the market for a new knife. I intend to keep my old one to practise sharpening and for nasty jobs. I really like the knives often shown on here in the classifieds which include a firesteel. To that...

Hey all, I was wondering if any of you might recommend some good bushcraft / wilderness books. I've read the RM books, Lofty books & Call of the Wild (which I really enjoyed) Thought some of you fine people would have some great reads. Look forward to hearing from you all. Nath

Hey All, I managed to get hold of the Helle Harding knife at a discounted rate! What a beautiful knife, the only problem being its too small, not the blade but the handle. I need it to be wider. Luckily; I managed to use it as a sweetner for Mrs Gabe and she is now enjoying it. So my...

Hey All, Having failed miserably to make my own hobo stove I'm resigned to the fact that I'm not that technically minded! With that in mind I was wondering if any of you know of anyone who is maybe running a little cottage industry in Hobo Stoves where I could buy one! Have looked at the...

Has anyone seen/used one of these yet? I know they only got released this week but thought someone might have? http://www.backpackinglight.co.uk/product398.asp No link with seller, just googled the honey stove after reading a review on here, and happened upon this!

So my girlfriend has asked for a christmas list from me. It got me thinking what you guys will be asking Father Christmas for?

Well I've been loitering on the outskirts for a month or so now but finally thought I'd stop being rude and say hello to you all. Well a little about me I guess....I'm fairly new to bushcraft having only taken a keen interest the past few months or so. But I guess I've been using bits of it for...
