Who here tans the fur of any kills they make such as rabbits, fox, Deer Ect..

I stupidly sold my 1.6 MR2 last year and bought a Subaru Impreza Turbo which I now cant afford to run with 18MPG on a good day so looking at getting a diesel 4x4 that I can run on Veg Oil such as:
Discovery 300Tdi
Terrano 2.7i

Shogun 2.8.
All of which I'm told will run on...
I'm after a traditional fire steel the type made from old files since appear to of lost mine and now the re-enactment season is on us it doesn't quite look right showing 17th century fire lighting with a firelighter and zippo lighter.:banghead:
Just wandering has anyone tried to turn a normal DPM army jacket into Wax Cotton since don’t want to be wearing my Driza-Bone jacket when hunting and my other waterproofs are either bright blue or light gray neither of which idea for stalking the bunnies.
I have recently got a Driza-Bone Original Wax Full Length Coat off e-bay but it a bit too long for me can anyone recommend a company that can professionally turn the jacket up about 3 inches then reproof?
Where is the best place to buy a leather billhook sheath for my Hampshire pattern billhook?
It needs to look old fashioned since its an old bill hook.
Bought this a while back after months of searching for one big enough since most greatcoats only come in smaller sizes. I have a 48 chest and this fits me comfortably but only gets used once or twice a year if it snows so time to part with it for a wax cotton coat that would get used more since...

I'm off teaching at a scout camp this weekend in the new forest and wandering would I still be warm enough in a DD hammock and army sleeping bag without a under blanket or should I stick with a tent and roll mat?
Also regarding hammocks what is the best way to pitch the tarp over it since...
I've been convinced (in other words talked to death before i submitted) to try geocaching since athough i have the New forest a few miles away I have not yet walked in it so bought a Garmin eTrex Venture HC GPS Receiver.
Hopfully i'll get to use it doing some walking in the New Forest (if not...
I have a Thermarest Prolite 4 which i want to swap for a hammock please. Since although i like sleeping on the floor shareing my bivi bag with slugs and beetles has lost it's appeal so thought i'd try the hammock malarky to see if it's any better.
The info from Thermarest says:
The ProLite...

What shape would a billhook be in 1642?
I do spoon carving with Mora carving knives which I justabout get away with period wise for living history but I normally shape thewood with a modern hand axe first which is wrong for the 17th Century so lookslike I need to get a billhook but it appears...

I'm after a Dutch oven so i can cook on the open fire rather than heating up my mess tins next to it.
The Ronnie Sunshine ones seem cheap just under £30 but all i hear is bad reviews of them so what do others use and how much did they cost you?
Just bought a Brinkmann 810-7080-7 Gourmet Electric Smoker and Grill from the US to use in the UK I have changed the US plug over to a UK 13Amp three pin plug and every time I plug it in the house main fuse keeps turning off a few second in. I have tried putting it through an extension lead and...
