    Jetboil musings/rambling

    I bought my JB 2nd hand and around the bottom of the vessel there has always been a rusty stain. I've come to believe that as the vessel appears to be titanium, the rust must come from putting the gas cylinders in the used, wet vessel. I've stopped this from happening by putting some electrical...

    wanted: SAK inserts

    two empty holes on my old SAK, plus nothing in the corkscrew. I've seen the prices on ebay - and wondered if anyone has spares or links that might prove more sensible (approx a couple of quid for each item :nono: ) TIA

    Chequers in my tum!

    I don't know about the wild service trees around you, but both ( :( ) of the trees that I know of have lovely dark red and well ablated berries on them at the moment and I've just scoffed a couple fo dozen of them - spicy, sweetish strong flavoured goodness. Kids and wife spat them out...

    insulation priority...

    ...above or below? I'm going to stitch a couple of rectangular sleeping bags to my hammock - one below as a permanent UQ and one above, directly to the built in mozzie net. Hey presto, one side-entry coccoon. My question is this: the two sleeping bags I intend to use are not of an...

    wetterlings wildlife axe for...

    I have one of these that I traded not so long ago on here. I've used it for felling small trees, roughing out spoons, batoning kindling etc and it's a joy to use. I've got to say I'd rather have a carp rod though. I'd like a rough match for another rod I have, so to that effect: 12'...

    wanted: burl

    I'm making a couple of laminated canoe paddles and really fancy using some burl in the handle. The rest of the paddle will be laminated maple and black walnut. I've seen a beautiful piece of Thuya on evilbay, but thought I'd see if any of you guys wanted to trade me some small burl for...

    tilley & coleman acquisition

    Last night i collected my latest investments - a coleman 201 and a tilley lamp. £10.50 the pair :o I've had the pair of them stripped down and all seems well with the coleman. I've put the one mantle i have on the tilley (as you folk seem to rate that as being the better lamp) and got it...

    what's this?

    I saw this 10m up a birch tree. The trunk must be 4-5" at that point... sounded woody when tested by catapult! the green flecks are just leaves in the foreground. Any ideas? I've never seen one before...

    sheath opinions/advice please

    I'm considering making a sheath for my clipper. I've seen some beautiful examples offered here for around the £25 mark but quite fancy having a go myself. I'd love to make a leather one and have looked into it a bit: process but all that kit that's required... I could probably get by...

    spoons 4 & 5

    Received from a very nice chap on here, and in exchange for my bow, a lovely wetterlings wildlife axe. The amount of time it has saved me in roughing out these two spoonshapes has been incredible. This is as compared to a cheapo hatchett from Wickes. Just the size and sharpness of this little...

    Recurve bow

    GONE! - Looks Like I've got a Wetterlings Wildlife Axe coming my way. Thanks for looking I've had this bow since new, but it's spent the last decade in my parents house. I recently reclaimed it but frankly - who am I trying to kid! There's no opportunity for me to use it so hopefully it'll...

    I hang my mora on 30ft of paracord...

    I made this a while ago, and find it considerably more practical than other ways of carrying my knife and a good, single length of paracord. I've got an old ferrorod hung on the sheath, wrapped around the belt and then clipped into the sheath again. Bombproof! Hope you like it...
