There have been sightings of a tri-coloured collie since he went missing. People are desperately searching for him and I thought I'd post up here incase anyone was going to the area or lived in the area. Lost - Ben Nevis - Tuesday 24th March approx' 10 am. Help is urgently needed to...

:You_Rock_ that is just stunning.

That's fantastic! What types of UK native wood would be suitable for the different parts of one of these?

thank you for your kind comments. It helps to get a little confidence boost every now and again!!! :)

:) Thank you.

The little basket took me a few hours as it was the first time I've ever done those techniques. The small foraging basket took me about 6 hours and the larger one took me 8 hours. I;m only just starting out in basketry though so I hope to be able to make a foraging basket in 4 hours in a few...

I saw that! Good idea - I'd have to learn it first though! I got hold of some nice rope from the market in town and that's worked pretty well!

I've picked it up from books. I had a go a year ago and loved it. Then the end of last year I had another go in earnest and LOVED it. Haven't stopped weaving since! Went on a weekend course with a woman called Jenny Pearce. Made a basket I'd already learned to make from a book - but -...

:) thanks shewie xx That bottom one is a funny shape. It's got a flat bum and is made to go against the wall, so you can only comfortably get your hand in through the top of it when it's on it's side. At the moment it's nailed to the wall :o but I really want it to hang. grumble. :)...

that's amazing!! you made a hat out of leather!!!! It looks brilliant and I bet it fits you perfect. So many things to learn so little time!!!!

Here is some baskets that I've been making. I'm absolutely loving getting to grips with basketry and can't wait to give coil baskets a go soon. The one below is a weird one though. I'm was going to attach a length of rope to it so it could be hung on a hook or something. I don't have any...

I tried the dehydrated veggies too and reckon there more hassle than their worth. I had dehydrated mushrooms once and they were minging!

Are those pouches dehydrated Rik? I'll definitely look out for them if they are. If they are what is the make? The issue I've had in the past with pre-flavoured packet foods is that having them everyday for two weeks can make you feel quite pants. I've decided it's because of the rubbish...

WOW! I love those baskets, just fabulous! I can't wait to have a go at making waterproof containers like yours. Can't wait. :) When can you teach me!! :rolleyes:

Hope this is helpful to someone... Lightweight Hillfood/Wildcamping food recipes and ideas. The above is a link to my blog where I've written up my wild camping food tips. I was going to copy and paste it all into here, it's relatively long though! I'd really like to build on it with your...

:) nice one. Thank you! They're in the rain now though, so we're sorted!

:) thank you! There's been lots of filming in the snow in North Wales. The work that really needs to get done is rainy weather work and they've got until the end of the week to do it! I think Anglesey is going to be the best bet. thanks again!!

Hello! My friends are filming in North Wales at the moment. Unfortunately they now need somewhere to film that doesn't have any snow on the ground, as they're going to film stuff about outdoor gear in rainy conditions. They can go anywhere in England - as long as there's no snow and...

Although I've never used a hobo stove, I know what one is and I can't wait to make one. I've used Trangias (which I love), Coleman Alpine stove (my favourite at the moment) and a selection of rocket fuel powered Msr Stoves (Try taking one of them on a bushcraft trip and staying anon!) It seems...

hello! excuse the dodgy fringe, it was a few days into bivvying in the New Forest though!
