My much loved Swanni jacket (2XL, Red Black Check, bought in Kaikoura, NZ in 1999) has gone the way of all flesh... Well, the zip keeps popping open at the bottom and undoing all the way up to the zip toggle... While it's not often used as an extreme condition, last resort coat - it hangs by...

I'm an idle sod, and rarely do much hard walking/outdoor crafts. I do, however, like my nights out in my hammock. I've noticed with my Tatonka flysheet, group buy hammock(and sometimes midge net), underquilt, Nanok bag, water, scran... my Sabre 45 is getting quite... full. Not heavy...

Heard a lot about this and wanted to try some. Couldn't find a UK supplier, so wrote to them directly. If you want the Super Thermo stuff they will supply directly, and they are helpful in taking orders and answer in lovely if somewhat archaic English. I'll let you know what it's like...

Well, I've got this £10 off voucher if I spend £50.00 on evilbay. What's going to be fun? I've got a wide range of thermarests/tarps/hammocks/stoves.... I've got a couple of bits of Swanndri... Obviously got a Sabre 45, and a couple of GB axes....

OK, got my hammocks, which I love, and have used. Got my insect netting, and have tried it a couple of times (and it's getting urgent:) ). I'm not really happy that I am using it properly, as it either seems too close to my face, or the ridge line looks like snapping. Any tips or photo...

Following hammock adventures I'd posted about elsewhere, I decided to get a thermarest; I bought a Prolite 3 L from postfree outdoor gear; Fair price just under £50. I went out with the lad the other week, and since I've bought another hammock, I thought I'd better get another Thermarest...

In British Blades there is reference to an new bushcraft magazine issuing legal warnings and complaining about remarks made by some members. I thought the posting would be of interest to those who admire bushcraft.

Having had some interest in outdoors activity, and arriving here via British Blades, I soon found there was loads of kit I absolutely needed :D. Having tried some bits, I determined I was going to do an overnight over Xmas. Breaking a toe put paid to that... but I'm better now. In the end, I...

Finally found one! Ordered for £6.99 delivered from hike-lite.co.uk. I mentioned it at British Blades, and they immediately start off "Group Buy". Of course, everyone here who wants one, already has one. Don't they?

While waiting for my first metatarsal to recover enough for me to go for an amble in the woods, I'm currently spending *next years* bonus buying kit, as I'm a sad geardo. I've got a couple of hammocks from the inestimable MagiKelly, and am looking forward to kipping in on. It can get a bit...

Amongst many other tasks this weekend, I had the opportunity to actually try out some recentish purchases. I'd bought a Swedish Army Trangia kit from the estimable Bumblbee, with a spare burner. I'd got a licence for Industrialised Denaured Alcohol (Industrial Methylated Spirits) following...

Right, having bought two group buy hammocks, one hex fly group buy, owning one aussie hootchie ... ... having rings, tapes and cord ordered ... being in possession of some pegs ...and hoping for a less windy weekend I'm having a go this weekend [at least to bung 'em up and down a few...
