I'll take one, shewie, Pm me details buddy.

After deciding that a Leather sheath for my Mora didn't financially make sense (the sheath being more expensive than the knife) I decided to see if there was a more 'crafty' approach to getting a nice looking neck sheath at minimal cost to my self. A little research on t'internet and I found...

I've got a tenth wonder also, not the XL mind but problems are generally the same. Were you sleeping between both layers or on top of both layers? I generally sleep on top of both with a 3/4 roll mat in between, lie in it on the diagonal (asymmetrically) and not hang it too tight (about 25...

I'm not too far from you Morrolan, I'm in Blackrod. You find that in most places the woods have been trampled by dog walkers at some stage or another. I find the best places around here are just of the normal beaten tracks, where most of the general folk turn back before getting to far out onto...

Gotta say, as much as tents are good, comfy and make a great base camp, I don't find them pratical for being on the move in varying terrain. With the Tarp I can pretty much camp anywhere, combo'd with a hammock it can be setup in woodland on slopes and inclines, used with walking poles/sticks...

Ohh Forgot to mention, add knots into the equation and you may need to factor in a further 40%-60% for the stresses caused by the knot. When using cllimbing rated kit this generally isn't a problem as you are looking at dynamic loading usually well above 1000kg. If like, many of the weight...

Hanging in a Hammock is all about the angle of the dangel (Sag). It determines the strength of cordage needed to hold you up, it impacts on shoulder squeeze and also on how flat you can lay in it. 30 degrees is quite often quoted, but it all depends on the width and length of the hammock itself...

I'm in Blackrod, Well up for this. I've already posted in the mini meets thread for ideas for locations, I did suggest contacting the Anderton Centre at rivi as they maybe able to provide somewhere (and its close so I can walk the dogs and then sling them in the house!) But to go a little...

I'm in Blackrod, between Bolton and Wigan. I think this is a great Idea. In terms of locations, and being locally biased I can think of two places which could be suitable, and where the land owner can easily be found. The first is Haigh Hall, not sure how much they would like a bunch of people...

So good to see some photos of my neck of the woods, I'm over the road(M61) in Blackrod and I'm usually up on the hill or around the resi' every night with my mad mutts. Didn't realise how many bushcrafters were around this area. I'll keep an eye out... ... I'll be the nutter chilling out in...
