Hi all, wondering if anyone has any experience of the above? Are they up to much or not? I`ve the chance to get my mitts on a Coleman brand propane lantern fairly locally to me for the equivalent of about 70 quid. I have faffed around with a simple cheap flat-wick oil lamp before but am looking...

Hi all, not sure if this is the place to put this but here we go, I had thought of putting this in the Food section under 'interesting fungi' or the First Aid under 'grow you own penicillin' but maybe not! I know there's a lot of folk here with canvas kit and no doubt a lot too who find that...

Just wondering if anyone here has worked through either of these templates for 'data protection' or not, or if you have your own approach, and how you have found it has worked for you? I know it's not really bushcraft or outdoorsy, but I guess it's kind've linked to a 'be prepared' attitude (dib...

Hi fellas, Just wanted to ask everyone out there about winter tyres, the various options out there and keeping safe in poor road conditions. I know it's summer but am hoping I can get myself set up cheaper now than I can when the snow starts falling! Last winter I spent some time in Norway...

Hi all, Last winter I found myself in Norway and Iceland for a time, and managed to get (tentatively!) started in cross country skiing - lots still to learn but I am looking forward to the next snowy season when I can work on it! In January I also found myself in Scotland, on an...

Afternoon all, I'll be off back up North to the land of the ice and snow in a few weeks, and am thinking of getting myself a parka to keep warm in, the sort of thing that can be thrown on over a more usual jacket as well as worn on it's own. Now this isn't neccessarily for outdoors, hiking...

http://northwalespioneer.co.uk/news/92184/outdoor-pursuit-gives-you-that-viking-feeling.aspx Bit of a weird question I know, but do any of you throw axes, like in the news story above? I'm not sure what it would be good for except for a more outdoorsy version of darts really! But it sounds...

Bit of an unusual question, not sure if contacts and specs count as clothing or kit, but hear me out. I've been wearing glasses for astigmatism for the past four years. I can see without them fair enough mostly, but to do so to make out any fine detail either up close or afar (such as you would...

Hi all, just wondering if we have any members in the United States? Reason being, there's an item on US Ebay that I want to get (rare over here) but the seller won't post outside the US and won't take questions... There is more than one item in stock if anyone else wanted in on it as well...

Hi lads and lasses, Well recently I've started wandering about in Iceland and Norway and even in the UK we can't have helped but notice that last winter and this one have already been harsher than usual. Almost all my little adventures thus far have been in pretty temperate conditions, but...

Hallo everyone, Beardy here, I recently found myself in the North of Iceland for a week, and had the chance to get away for a bit of a wander. It was quite a remote place, but the hills were in plentiful supply, and I set out on my first solo day hike. Here's the view as I set off up a...
