    Discounted Rab gear.

    Not sure if anyone has seen ads for Rab, however they are selling stock at crazy low prices. Well being the cynical person I am, I dropped them an email to check. This was their reply… Hello Ian, Thank you for taking the time to bring this to our attention. We have been made aware of...

    Roof tent.

    I have a roof tent gathering dust in my shed, not really sure what to do with it, do I keep or sell, and if I sell I have no idea what to put it up for. It’s a extended Terrain one, howling moon copy, thinner quick dry fabric. Any ideas everyone.

    Woodgas camp fire.

    Over the last few days I’ve made a woodgas camp fire. This isn’t the first, but it is the biggest I’ve made. It’s made from two helium gas bottles, the ones from card factory. I started off with a prototype using thin steel for the inside, this worked a treat and I managed to get hold of a...

    Framed packs

    I’ve just watched a horror film with some campers on the Appalachian Trail. The film isn’t the point, and to be fair and not really sure of the point of the film, however one of the people were carrying a Kelty pack from the 70’s and wonder why no one uses them now. So does anyone still use...

    Polish Lavvu

    I’ve got hold of a medium sized (two eyelets in the bottom) Polish Lavvu for £15 from my local army surplus store, but don’t have the pole. I was just wondering if anyone knows the pole length? Thanks

    Scout badges

    As a scout leader things have become a little harder to run Monday evenings with my troop, and this for me thinking about how best to work further badge work with the scouts. The Scout movement have put a number of things together, one being Badges At Home, which is really good, however I was...

    Shoe Repair

    I have a pair of Meindl boots which a got 6 years ago. They have been very well used, however the grips had finally worn out. I took them down to my local shoe repair shop, he told me it would take upto a week. So not too bad, I dropped them at about 3pm on Tuesday, the got a phone call on...

    Really Useful Boxes.

    Have got back from the moot a few days ago, and still wading through the randomly packed bags and boxes, I have been looking at streamlining my kit packing. I’m pricing up a few more Really Useful Boxes for kit, and just wondered if anyone has adapted a large one for use as kitchen storage. I’m...

    Fjallraven smock number 1

    Ive been making bits and bats over the last few years, and really want to make a similar jacket to the No°1 Smock. Can anyone help me with where I can get a suitable pattern, I’ve looked all over, but just can’t seem to find anything. The closest I’ve found is the Pennine Outdoor 27 jacket...

    Oh dear!

    Not that I’m one for pinching ideas from social media, but I’ve just read a question posed and wondered if people had any stories themselves. The question is have you ever had to use your survival skills in a proper “oh dear” moment? This could be that you’ve lost your lighter and had to find...

    Modified camping chair

    I’ve just read a post on a social media site, instabook or something like that, a question was posed as to anyone who has modded a standard camping chair. So my question is, have you even modded one, of so do you have photos, and if you haven’t, what add ons would you use. I’m thinking solar...

    DD tarp

    Whilst laying in my hammock at a recent scout camp, I noticed a rip in my DD 3x3 tarp. The rip is about 1.5 inch long and has the usual L shape. Can anyone recommend the best method to fix it? I can’t afford to replace it, and want more than a quick put me on fix.

    Logging the old way.

    I read a post on social media about how trees are prepared in old times, thought it was rather interesting... In today’s logging and lumber industry, it is the new normal to treat nearly every piece of lumber used with various chemicals in an attempt to preserve the wood. However, this is often...

    Under a fiver!

    What’s the best bit of kit you’ve have got for less than £5? I like to get the odd bit of kit from time to time, however as like most money is tight and bushcraft kit is way down on the priority list, apparently feeding the children and paying the mortgage is more important than a new tent. So...

    Adventure Food

    Having just come back form a scout camp, it has got me thinking about “adventure food” a number of the scouts had taken the pre packed meals from that big outdoor shop “go something”. I even took one, however for the price I wasn’t all that impressed. What do people take as an alternative to...

    DIY kit.

    A couple of years ago I decided I wanted to make a few bits of my own kit, so I got a hand cranked Singer of evil-bay and make a few bits including a case for my arrows and an under blanket. However as time passed and seeing some of the things John Fenna has made I thought I’d give it a go, so a...

    How small can you go?

    My latest thought is about minimalistic kit, my brother has recently got into one night trips out and about, and he was asking me what kit he needed. He had a few must have bits of kit, things like he wanted a tent, sleeping bag and stove (due to locations, a fire is a no go). However this got...

    Cool Bushcraft

    Extended trips away either with the family, a scout group or alone have with them differing pluses, however also come there own issues. One of these is keeping fresh food fresh, and the beers cold. Everyone has their own ideas on how to achieve this, personally for family trips I have a rather...
