I've had a Special 6 shirt for over a year now and think its great. The only problem being that it's too warm for all but the coldest conditions. I did see a very similar Buffalo shirt a while ago but didn't think to look at the name. It was just like the S6 but with a lighter pertex outer and...

Hi everyone, Does anyone know of an organised course or just a day out finding and identifying fungi in or around North Wales? I've heard of days in Gwydir Forest but can't find any information or contact details. If there are any resident experts in the area that wouldn't mind me tagging on...

Are there any WBBB owners in North Wales? I'd really like to see one in the flesh and try it out for a few minutes before buying one. I'm pretty sure I'll love it, but am a little worried about the calf squeeze issue that affects some people. Thanks Mark

Just a quick heads-up if any one is interested. Ed Stafford is giving a talk tomorrow evening in Venue Cymru, Llandudno at 19:30. Tickets are £12 or £14. http://www.speakersfromtheedge.com/theatre-tours/ed-stafford-walking-amazon-tour-2011 No connection etc. just saw the flyer this afternoon.

I've just ordered a 14cm Zebra billy. Can anyone recommend a well fitting stuff sack type of thing to keep it in and stop the rests of my kit getting dirty? Something off the shelf or army surplus would be good. I'm sure I've seen one in a DPM bag on another thread. Any info would be great...

I've just bought myself a DD Frontline and a set of whoopie slings, but have a few questions before I put it all to good use: 1. I have 4 DMM 12cm Pro-Wire Karabiners similar to those sold by DD, but fractionally bigger. 2 will be used to connect the whoopie slings to the hammock, and I plan...

I've recently been given some large pieces of oak burl. They are still green and I'm not sure how best to store them and for how long before they are fully seasoned. They show some great burl figuring and may perhaps be good enough for knife scales. http:// http:// The two blocks shown...

Can anyone recommend either the travel or the frontline hammock from DD. I'm going to order one through he group buy but can't decide which one. Is the Travel hammock a bit hot and sweaty in use because it has a waterproof base, or doesnt this make any difference? Am I better of going for...

I'm looking for a GB Wildlife Hatchet if anyone has one for sale. I'd rather it be in great/mint condition, but dont mind some signs of use as long as it has been well looked after. Thanks RR Update (31/12/10) - Couldn't resist, just ordered one. Thanks for looking

I'm looking at buying my first 'proper' axe for bushcraft, but cant decide between the GB Wildlife Hatchet size or the GB SFA. The axe will need to be small enough to carry in/on my pack, but not so small as to be restrictive in terms of its basic capabilities. I only intend to use it for...

Well, two questions really. 1. Why have there been two 2nd hand ones for sale since I ordered mine from woodlore? :rolleyes:;) (Typical) 2. Can anyone tell me what the intended use is for the secondary grey cover? It has the standard black cordura case, but it also has a sort of...

Hi all, I'm looking for a small stove set up for light use, i.e. brewing up and perhaps an overnight stay. Having read a number of posts on stove choice, I am more confused than ever. My thoughts so far are: Triangia meths burner - small and can be used in any number of bought and home...

Hi all. Having lived and worked in the countryside for most of my life, recent years have seen me spending more time working in an office whilst young kids have my free time almost exclusively booked for the next 18 years (or longer I’m told:yikes:). I stumbled across this site by accident but...
