    Water filters

    I already have enough hiking style filters/bottles, but want to get an upgrade for my overland truck camping sorted. Originally I had looked at the lifesaver jerrycan, but fact is the thing is horrifically expensive for what it is. A nice build I saw recently made use of a Sawyer filter, with a...

    Can't post in classified

    Not sure if I am missing something but I have posted in the classified section before. I went there today to try and put up a couple of things and the post new thread button is not showing for me. I have more than the minimum 10 posts so is there something I am missing? Just to clarify I am able...

    Making your own pack?

    Just throwing some fancy ideas around my head and wondered if anyone has done something similar. Earlier this year I started to work with a mountain rescue team and one thing did become quickly apparent to me, for this type of work much of my gear was not ideal. While good boots, jackets &...

    Maxpedition bottle holder

    I got a folliage green 12x5 bottle pouch from HH back in December and so far have not got round to using it other than for a single walk and brew in the woods to see how well it held the gear I wanted. Still in mint condition with no scuffs etc. I still intend to make use of this pouch but the...

    Suppliers of cordura etc?

    Maxpedition Bottle Holder owners?

    I've been looking at the two versions of this and hoping to go for the 10x4 model. My only issue is will this take a 58 pattern bottle? The bottle is a little under 4.5" in width which should mean it's a no go for the 10x4. But if anyone owns one, can you tell me how much play there is in the...

    Small sized womens boots?

    Hoping someone can help, I'm looking for a reasonable set of leather boots for the oh. She takes a size 3 so not much about for that range, most of the year I wear minimal footwear and use a set of Karrimor ksb orkneys for winter times. I had hoped to get a pair for her but they seem to go no...

    Bedrolls worth using?

    I normally have one of two bags with me when I head out depending on the time of year and weather, mixed with a good bivvy bag. For years this has worked just fine. I saw a thread on here about the Czech style 3 part bedrolls and looked into them a bit more. Obviously they are big heavy things...

    Recycled leather?

    Just wondering if anyone here has used any of the recycled leather products that are about on various sites, I got a sample of one company to see what it was like and it seems just like cheap thin leather. Anyone that has used it can you say if it works well for crafting with and how does it...

    Dehydrating food?

    Been looking into this lately, and hoping someone can help. Now obviously it weighs less carrying dehydrated food and thus makes sense for meal foods. Now I could simply buy cheap brands of a certain noodle add water product but I would rather starve, at the moment paying out for an actual...

    Backup blade thoughts

    I normally carry a locking blade tucked away as a pure backup should I either loose or damage my normal working knife. I've been considering changing this to a multitool and wondering others thoughts on this. Do any of you ever see the need for any of the addons a multitool gives you? Also do...

    Compass help

    For years I have happily used a basic Silva model compass and more often relied on gps units. But now I am getting more and more into mountain walking and wanting to get involved in the competitive side of things. This obviously requires a high degree of navigation skill and so while Silva do...

    Help with weight distribution

    I'm in the process of trying to cut back on the overall amount of things I take with me. Part of this is finally realising taking a big bergen for a couple of days just results in filling up the empty space. This has also come with a switch to tarps instead of tents. With all this in mind I am...

    Molle belt help

    Hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I have got myself a couple of the maxpedition fatty pouches and intending on getting their map pouch also. Ideally I want a molle compatible belt for these but so far everything I can find online starts at around £35 and goes upwards. I don't...

    Help with leather hat

    Hoping to get some advice, I have an Australian style rawhide hat. It had some issues with water proofing and so I went ahead and gave it the same sort of beewax treatment as per my boots (though only waxed the outside of the hat). That side of things is now all good and well, but I was out on a...

    Help making my own shirts

    Up until now I have made do with the classic norgi top, while it is timeless and does certain things very well it also does other things very badly. I love the idea of most of the swandri kit but my wallet disagrees with me. Even some of the cheaper UK wool garments are a little too pricey right...

    Bivi & basha help wanted

    I'm thinking of getting a bivi bag and a tarp/basha to do away with tenting unless essential. For a tarp i was considering the british army basha (if i can find it not in dpm). So any suggestions of perhaps better value for the same price? As far as a bivi bag goes its a new one for me but...
