Hello all wise ones! I need to ask for some advice, I have a few Opinels that I use for slicing food but they aren't in constant use and I find that after a while of not being used they get stuck in the folded position and I need to use pliers to open them and work them loose. HELP!!! Thanks...

Hello all, I would love to hear what you think of my choices for my next pack First up is this http://bcbadventure.com/shop/35-ltr-para-day-sack-multicam/ It's a bit pricey and it's in camouflage but the green or black ones are discontinued (unless someone has one squirreled away in a...

Hello one and all! Like many others here I have been reading Bushcraft 101 by Dave Canterbury and find it stands up pretty well against Mears and Kochanski. However I am puzzled by his near constant reference to bank line. I get the impression that it's some form of fishing line but I'm not...

I've just returned from a successful (if soggy!) few days out trying out new kit. One of the success stories was my new Snugpak 'The Sleeping Bag' http://www.oswaldbailey.co.uk/eshop.asp?wci=product&wce=52430101&desc=SNUGPAK+SLEEPING+BAG The bag is great! unfortunately the compression sac...

Hiya all! I was reading one of the threads about hats and there was a link posted about a Karrimor hat that Sportsdirect.com were flogging off cheap, I got one and am very pleased because it was half price, then I found that pretty much all their Karrimor gear is half price or better! I have...
