    Fleece blanket sleeping bag cover...or liner?

    try to make sure it fastens at the feet and sides to the inside of the bag somehow. I've not given it thought and sussed it yet but I find it an absolute pain when it twists inside the bag. Only a problem I guess if you like to move around when zipped up. I resorted to a spare pair of long...

    Leather bottle cover..............

    Really like that Richard, I thnk I'd like something like that for my plain old stainless flask, probably wider diameter and twice the length. Don't suppose you can price something up? Thinking more about it, no handle required as there is one on the flask, the leather would need to be trimmed...

    Setting a compass

    Second that, maybe work on the mapcraft and reading the map first before technical stuff like mag deviation. Probably not that easy atm this time of year as you've lost most, if not all, daylight on parade nights. Or see how they take it in and go from there. For me, it was always a drag having...

    Clothing fore the Larger Gentleman.

    OG Smock arrived, perfect condition, very happy bunny indeed as it fits me very well, not at all oversized. Obviously I have a smug grin on my face while typing this, bad luck if anyone else wanted it as I'm sure you would also have been satisfied with the deal:) Top marks for The Cumbrian :)

    WTD - Trangia stove setup

    If you are still stuck, I've got a mini and standard set stowed away somewhere. Not been used for a while, I use the Swedish mil one now. Not sure what to ask for either, not sure what I want either :) If you find yourself down here for a day out, I'll drag it all out so you can get your...

    'interesting' definition of bushcraft

    I find that when I'm at shows with those who want to be offended, I can wander away. You know the sort <A>"would you like a beef or ham sandwich, I made them myself. <B>Ooh, beef please... <A>what's wrong with the ham!..." When a thread goes that way, you end up seeing more people apologising...

    beeswax wanted

    HillBill got some from ebay at a good price recently, he might have asked on another forum, I forget, although Bernie Garland posted him an ebay link. I did find a link for him in that thread about Harrogate Bee Keepers, I think they have stuff for sale at an outlet at Harlow Carr Gardens in...

    Anyone got any Beeswax?

    Harrogate and Ripon Beekeepers Association might be able to help out: http://www.hrbka.org.uk/ You'll have to make contact though. If they can help out, let me know. I can collect and drop some off by the weekend. I'll pay and we cover it with trade if that's OK with you.

    4X4 Advice

    We have a 1996 RAV4, the first style that came out. Had it for about 7 years now and it's never missed a beat. Just put first new pair of tyres on the front. Performs well on road, not something I'd like to go panel bashing with though as it has no low box, only centre diff lock and a low first...

    Whitener Sachets

    PM me your address, I've got some of the whitener here you can have, a good fistful of the sodding stuff. I was reluctant at first but now I don't mind the instant white tea. It was more a case of getting used to not trying to drink it too soon as it was far too hot :) I used to have an old...

    Hi Mark Called in on the offchance today as I got a call for Huddersfield at lunchtime and found myself almost passing by. Was working with rivets the other day and it dawned on me that the waste bits might be useful, so I've dropped off some unused rivets. I wasn't trying to get it done on the...

    How to make a stash

    Many many many many years ago (when the Green Goddess's rolled out for the first firemans strike) I did a kind of time capsule stash, you know, back in the day when Blue Peter, How and John Craven were essential viewing after school. This was at RAF Catterick, when it had the roundabout on...

    home made BBQ.for your landy

    Seriously impressed with that landyandy :) Would work on a bonnet mount as well no doubt. I'm guessing it's still work in progress, how is it secured? Looks to have a benefit as a theft deterrent for spare wheels as well. All the best

    Kit Nostalgia....It's not what it used to be

    I've got about a dozen of these. Some have canister still on, all of them been outside in the weather for best part of a year. Not got round to getting rid of them. If anyone wants them, come and get them. I'm not going to get into packing them up or any form of posting or courier etc as I'm not...

    New forums

    I can empathise about the effort involved, diligence is required, does it belong here, or there, etc. I did this on a forum once, just the once, and I think I need to do it again. Not particularly looking forward to it. If it's any consolation, it is usually appreciated and the positive feedback...

    DIY firebox plans

    I saw something on SOTP and fancy a go myself, specifically to have it come apart and fold away flat. Would be happy to muck in with ideas and tools etc, got a little shed workshop here with all that's needed. Just need to get some stainless.
