I picked up "Survival Advantage" by Andy Lane for the princely sum of £5.95, arrived in post yesterday Quite the bargain!!. Having know of the book for a long time but never owning one, my head is now buried in it. Definitely one of the top Survival type books out there in my opinion

Yes. Salmon and seatrout do hug the coast when returning to their respective areas. Not sure about England, but Scotland has byelaws regarding fishing for game-fish - within certain distances from river mouths. They will drop back with tides depending on river heights and will rest in brackish...

Nice one cheers, don't know how I missed that in my search.

hello guys anyone using the new Swazi Tahr XP with the aegis fabric at all? i wanted to know what they thought of the new fabric and particularly how quiet it would be in a woodland environment? I have heard the new XP is a slightly harder shell than the goretex but with an almost peached...

Replied to you PM, sorry I have no idea why first PM didn't send. Thanks

PM'd regarding Munro

Yes Andy, two fore n aft hooks done with the centre clip n slide pole in position. The side just seem to have excess bag in them for some strange reason. I tried shortening the two side of the tent spacer hook clips to provide more tension (the ones inside guy attachment points) but still sack...

Hi folks Got a new Force 10 Mk4 classic CN last week and I pitched it the other day and found the inner seemed rather "baggy" compared to my old one this replaced. Not sure if its poor quality control, badly finished inner or pitching fault. Don't think its a pitching fault, my old one...

Someone mentioned Loch Lubnaig, I spent a great deal of time around this astonishingly beautiful area and the carpark at the top of the Leny outflow has turned into a right old sh1tpit, i have been verbally abused and threatened many times when asking "campers" to uplift their litter and other...

Hi folks, Quick question, anyone using the Snigpak Exocet 35l rucksack? Hard to find many reviews and this seems like the best place to start. Been looking hard at Maxpedition Falcon II's and Condor's but really like the design of the Exocet from Snugpak. If it's as good as their other...

Great looking smock caswcc, have you managed to do some field testing since your original post?

Does this dude have an online shop caswcc at all?

I'm really not sure on your point above, I wouldn't like to accuse anyone of product theft. I may be wrong here but I think this type of design was first used way before Swazi started making garments in 1994? It would be hard to pin point the date of develpoment for a general smock type...

Thanks for the welcomes folks, Miyagi, "awfy deer" is surely better than an "old dear" eh! The special brew (can't afford buckie) blew out my nose reading that :p G

Morning all, I have been looking at a possible alternative to my old Swazi Tahr and have found one or two similar products which could be in the running. I wonder if any fellow forum members have experience of these and I’d appreciate any input you may have both good and bad First up is...

Muck Boot Tay Sports are great for a wider fitting sole, I use these if out in cold and ice for days on end, otherwise its my neoprene Le Chameau's For comfort and fitting they are second to none, for outlasting a pair of "Dunnies" you previously owned.. well ...jury is out on that one

Thanks for the welcome!!

Stovie, What an absolutely fantastic way of educating possible future Deer stalkers!! You have to be congratulated for tackling this is our present climate of "wrapping kids in cotton woo"l age I wish I had this opportunity when I was in the scouts It's amazing what some of them will take...
