    Ben Fogle Socks

    UPDATE: I did send these socks back to the manufacturers, HJ Hall, they apologised for the fault and said that it was due to an issue with the particular yarn used in the style. As an apology (and because they were waiting on new stock without the faulty yarn) they sent me a pair from their...

    Money no option bit of kit

    Same here, I'd love to have the money (and time off work) to do something like one of the Arctic Expeditions with Lars Falt. Of course I'd also like to have the money and time to do all the training to go on one (only had my first Ski lesson on Friday; I am in horrible horrible pain)...

    Ben Fogle Socks

    I don’t normally do reviews but as I found none for these socks on the web I thought I’d post my experiences. In brief I’m not very impressed, they are very comfortable but for such an expensive sock they are not very long lasting. I bought mine at the Outdoors show in London on the 15th...

    Hi everyone

    Thanks Resnikov, and thanks for the photo's (and sorry for taking so long to reply), my other half loved them and this has contributed significantly to her agreeing to go camping in May, on a site that allows camp fires (in fact its now a rather large outing of family and friends over the long...

    Selling of Englands Forrests and Wild camping

    It will come down to what the new owners want to do with the land, but seeing as those (new owners) are likely to be either a) heritage etc groups or b) commercial businesses I think it is, sadly, unlikely.

    What's your favourite piece of military kit and why?

    2nd that. Also love the British rollmat (don't know what year/ model etc); bombproof, has been used on lots of bivi's over the last 15 years and keeps taking the punishment (starting to look pretty rough though).

    Oh no, another Bell tent question !

    I have an old Army Arctic tent (5m Canavs Bell tent) with the flue in the roof. It does require an additional bit of silicone rubber around the flue to stop water running down onto the stove, so I guess they put the outlet on the side of the tent to help stop water ingress? My stove is also...

    Hi everyone

    Hi all, I joined a while ago but decided this year I'd get more stuck in. I'm a total bushcraft novice, I've been mountaineering since I was 14, but that all ended when I became a Dad (hard to persuade the wife to let me take a toddler with me). I still want my daughter to grow up with a...
