I fancied a SUP (stand up paddle board) but the prices are silly. So I picked up a cheap old windsurf board and added an outriggers and an ama, because the windsurf board is narrow and too unstable. After extensive sea trials yesterday, 3 hours at the beach with the family who all enjoyed...

I've put this post in the transport section because i use my boards for transport as much as possible:D Anyway a bit of woodwork and a knot (carrick bend). far from finished but I'm quite pleased with it so far [/URL][/IMG]

A quick review of my new boots. No pictures, you can find them on google easily enough. First, my reason for purchase. I've been after a pair of boots with little or no heel rise and a flexible sole for some time now, as I've spent most of my life in flat soled skate shoes. Not that I haven't...

He seems happy enough. I like how the authorities are "keeping an eye" on him and even gave him a new lifejacket. http://www.boston.com/news/local/maine/2012/12/05/man-home-foot-canoe-boston-harbor/IMOoMhUaqsfsSRz8hDgiGJ/story.html

I'm (well SWMBO is) currently looking for a dining table and chairs for the house, but being as we move about regularly and I am also fitting out my camper van, I thought maybe some good quality camping furniture would fit the bill. A quick search on t'interweb and I came across campaign...

Currently working down in Kent (Romney Marsh). Talking to a guy who had just come back from a run, who said he had a wild boar run across the path in front of him. Never really thought about them here in the U.K., though I've seen them in France. Any tips on spotting them, habitat, feeding...

I would love to do this http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2012/03/iditarod_trail_sled_dog_race_2.html

I picked up a Petzl Pixa 1 last week as a pre xmas present to myself. http://www.petzl.com/en/pro/compact-headlamps/pixa-1 I've been looking for a new headtorch for a while now, I currently have a Tikka 2 and an energizer 3 led one. Problem I've had is, I wanted a durable, water resistant...

I'm going to pick up a coat and trousers like this next week. http://www.sovietarmystuff.com/Product_390_Russian_Army_Winter_Camo_Uniform_suit_Jacket_and_Pants_Flora_Pattern.html I was wondering if anyone has or does use it and any opinions on it. Tried a search on here but nothing came up.

From a boating forum I frequent, not quite canoeing but a similar approach. http://ducky.com.ua/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1740#1740 Foraging and fishing for food for a month.

After reading all the positive reviews of these mats I finally went out and got one. Super comfy, better than my bed at home!!! Well almost, as it only has room for one. It's far more comfortable than my 5cm thick Multimat inflatable mattress, and being as I'm on the large side I don't roll of...

Rather than do the normal B+B thing at great cost, I fancy trying out tent life for a while. I'm looking for camp sites in the area for short to medium term camping, as I've just been offered a job in the area for a few months. I don't mind moving about a bit, so the more sites the better...
