I work for a college delivering a pretty 'outdoorsy' course to students aged 17 - (33 is the oldest I have taught here). The students got into hammocking after one of our bushcraft days when they hung my gaggle of 'spare' hammocks and all decided they had to have one. Nick at DD Hammocks set up...

My college students have really got into the hammocking lark thanks to the support of Nick and his team at DD Hammocks who set up a tremendous group buy for us. In preparation for a 2 night 'expedition' the students spent a day rigging hammocks in unusual places. It was pretty good fun, so here...

Contrary to the ideas in the current 'how many jackets' thread ... I have too many jackets and I need the space more. I bought a Swedish Snow Smock a few years ago, sewed a drawcord into the inside waist and dyed it greens, browns and blacks (which took some creativity and effort!). I then...

Hi I am having a big clear out and have found these two items. Unusually I have no pictures yet but please be assured that they are in excellent clean condition with no wear or damage. 1. DPM Yoke to turn the issue side pouches into a single or double pouch rucksack 2. Polish Canvas Poncho x...

Please forgive my failure to 'search' but I'm on my phone at the mother-in-laws house :-( A few weeks ago I saw a thread for a group buy of carbon felt. I have a few post Christmas pressies to make and would like carbon felt to make some little stoves. If anyone knows of some I would be very...

These are the complete set comprising 1 pair of ''mittens, inner, extreme cold weather'' and 1 pair of ''mittens, outer, extreme cold weather'' both in matching size Medium which is plenty big enough for my hands and I usually take a Large. The inner gloves have a reinforced leather palm and...

I hope this is in the correct place - Mods, please move it if it is wrongly listed. I am sure I saw a link to Shoe Polish stoves on BushcraftUK but the search facility isn't being awfully helpful right now! As part of a Tutorial Enrichment activity with my college students I had them reusing...

I have had this for a couple of years as I acquired it as a 'starred item' (meaning that it has a value and is individually signed out each time it is used in the Army) and didn't want to let it get damaged / lost etc. I really don't use it and now have a collection of hammocks that I use...

Hi, a very short post but asking for a big favour! I am about to order 20 DD camping hammocks for my students (with their money) based on the value for money and positive user feedback. I have just seen reference to tenth wonder hammocks and feel under pressure to buy right for my students...

We are gifted in living alongside the Brecon and Monmouthshire Canal and we have a small, ancient, beech woods within 1km of the house. We took a spin up there today for a little picnic and had a very relaxing time in our hammock made for two (well, three, as my wife is 18 weeks pregnant) and...

Hello all, I have recently been given this through work but simply don't have need or space for it. It is in Grade 2 condition with the previous owners name (Coleman) written on it in black pen as well as a small number of sewn holes (mainly in one corner of the lid pocket). The repairs all...

Following my last post about a college outing that didn't survive contact with the students ... we have had a number of further bushcraft sessions at a local woodland. Part One I took the same second year group out but this time I had thinned the dead wood from the group and was further...

Well, to be totally fair, I bought or traded the 3/4 length knife blank a few years ago and then bought or traded the scales before buying the fibre cards and brass pins. The whole lot sat on my bookshelf and then dining room table and then drawer ... until eventually I committed to beginning...

I was given this air rifle by an ex-student of mine a couple of years ago but, as irony have land or a garden, it has lived i my spare room without use. I took it out today hoping it would suit rabbiting but it is too powerful / crude / no scope for the job. The richocet sounds scarily solid as...

I have a few things that are taking up space on the off-chance that they become useful...and, after a few successful trades recently, I am getting addicted to the excitement of trading items rather than selling for money! I have put the current market value next to each item in brackets but only...

Hi, I cannot remember where I bought this hammock underquilt from but it was bought new just in case SWMBO ever came with me ... it was used once but she prefers a tent / tarp to a hammock and it has been stored loose / lofted in a large bag ever since. It is made of pertex top and bottom, is...

Hi, I have only posted about 45 times on here but generally dip in and out of the huge wealth of information and resources held within the forum. I haven't achieved much lately but I thought I should contribute something until I do a proper overnighter worthy of a post. I work for a college...

ALL NOW GONE ;-) I have a pile of kit to get on eBay ... but I thought I should offer it here for swaps first as it is all outdoorsy kit, you have all made me very welcome here and I know there are some paddlers here too. (I have put the New prices to give an idea of cost / value) I have a...

Hello all, I have procured two empty beer kegs (unused) and have the intention of turning at least one into a stove (potentially for inside my polish poncho / laavu thingy). The kegs look like this: I intend to basically cut out a door in the main body of the keg using a dremel...

Hello All, I wasn't sure where to put this thread, as I have intended for a while to show off some of the things I have made / modified recently (waxed snow smock, biscuit tin billys, woodgas stoves, full size tripods to cook over an open fire, an oil drum stove [still a work in progress...
