    Hi Guys I've not been on line for a while - still busy though. I'm having a bit of gear purge. It's one of those things isn't it: you keeping upgrading, making, buying new bits; changing the way you do things and eventually you run out of storage room... Anyway I've decided to sell my SnugPack...

    Yep - good to see some rain. I was out in the woods for the day on Monday expecting only a shower or two. After a couple of hours wandering I put up the tarp to cook lunch and stayed under there for nearly two hours while it rained constantly. Mind you it did make gathering the tinder and wood...

    Just a quick note on the RM Aussie Hootchie in case anyone's thinking of buying one. I've been using tarps for a few years now in various guises but have never really felt happy with any of the four that I've collected. For the last couple of years I've been using a standard Hennessy Diamond...

    Yep we're all still learning and will continue to do so until we start composting!. I do find that Backpacking and Bushcraft are quite complimentry interests though.

    Glad to see you're having fun Globetrotter. Haven,t slept in my hammock since the summer. Inevitably its the case with meetups that whichever day we choose someone is going to miss out because of other commitments, so I'm going to suggest we arrange two meets Sunday 4th January and Saturday...

    Hi Globetrotter - will be good to meet you. Anybody any preference for any of the days I mentioned ? I'm still free for all at the moment. Unless there are any other ideas put forward I suggest we go for a wander around Dunwich forest ? This is Forestry Commision land so rules apply. I'll pm...
