Hi there folks. Well it seems after 6 years working I'm going to become a student. Heading down to the SAC near Bucksburn Been in Shetland all my life and just recently gotten into bushcraft. Throughly looking forward to getting down and into some real forest. The woodland up here is never...

Didn't get it in the end. Moneys a bit tight at the mo, tore a hole in the sump o me car and buying a new air rifle this week so it shall wait =] Don't need the bigger bag until I have my bivi etc anyway. Thinking for the distance etc I'll be going endicots is most defo a plan =] Cheers...

Think I have this buttoning malarky sorted.. Seems I just needed to turn the pole flaps inside out, Am I orrect in thinking that the extra layer like a bell is meant to be on the inside? It does look really sealed now. If I wasn't so tired I'd actually go out and pitch it. Maybe tomorrow...

The stoves seem like a fantastic idea. I'll have to start searching for info on them =]

For some reason I still can't get my mind over this buttoning.. The inside is where the pole pockets are correct? The pics have helped somewhat but when I have what I believe outside ot be out everything is the mirror image. So I've buttoned it up but on the 'inside' there's still a row of...

Well on ebay is a webtext bergen, with yolk for around 50. It's ending in two hours. Shall I get it ? I need a bigger pack.. should be pretty solid? I'm 5'10 so unsure if it'll be too big for me? Inseam 32" perhaps, long legs, broad shoulders but rather slim! Opinions on a postguard...

I've never seen one so friendy afore. It was a few meters away, stopped for a while then ran up towards rabbit central where it hid in the burrows for a while, came back out, back in. I was close to grabbing it to check him over but he nipped back in and was gone. Glad I had my Petzl Ultra...

You need some sand to fill in the gaps ;) Didn't think the buttons on the vents would be so damn fidly ! I'm not good with buttons at all though. The gf's jeans are always a problem. Now what's inside out and outside in for these.. I assume the pouch at the top is inside and one just slots...

Hi there folks. I'm building up my collection of gear as each week goes by and I realised that my 40litre pack just isn't big enough for a tent+bag. I am on the lookout for a pack that will take my tipi (polish army) bivibag and sleeping bag (most likely us army modular system). I'll also...

Good evening all. Hope all is well your way. Having read the many posts on this forum I went and ordered myself a polish lavvu off ebay on friday. It arrived today and after buttoning it together at work I walked over the hills to my house, got the rest of my gear together and walked the...

Hi there folks. Got myself a trangia 25 off ebay (full kit with kettle) and it was marked as being almost new. New my left cheek! Wont go into details but metal was pretty clean etc but the lid for the burner has split as has the simmer ring. Looks like expansion fracture but not sure...

Ah, too slow again. Thats what i get for using my phone to view the forum. Cheers :)

I'll take lefty please :) can you pm payment options? Cheers.

Hi there. Wondering what they're like on open ground in a bit of wind. Nothing extreme just a decent blow. Looks great though and putting 7kg in my pack tonight to see what the weights like for short walk ins etc. (<7miles). Whats it's pack size like? Would it fit into a 40litre low...

Sorted :D Spoke to the lovely lady. Mosty polite and has quite the nice accent. Sending it back for the shorted size. 2 inches shorter on sleeves and body which will be perfect. After looking closer the double thicknes elbows weren't on my elbows but should be with the shorter size. Buy...

Well my jacket is here and I am mightily impressed. It certainly is generous in the size department and sadly a bit too long on the arms (between first knuckle and second knuckle). One fold of the sleeve (using velcro straps as a guide) seems to be the trick. Its about 1 3/4 inches and...

No seen minkies yet. I see you're in Ayrshire. What's it like that way? I'm hoping to go to the SAC at Ayr to study next year.

Got some fantastic coastal locations full of seals and otters. Mind you, even a walk to tesco's is full o Seals and possible otters and killer whales..;)
