Help. I need mycological expertise to help me identify a load of mushrooms that I picked today. Here's the link. http://www.oldschooltimes.com/mushrooms/index.html I think there are three different kinds in total, possibly four. The tape measure is extended to 20cm, as a reference. Please ask...

Having a bit of a kit clear-out. Here's the latest addition (see here for previous stuff) It's a Stratus Trailstove and it's a great lightweight bushcraft and camping stove. I really like it, but I really do have stoves coming out of my ears, so it's got to go. Comes with tube for blowing...

I'm after one of those handy Primus Trek Kettles (the one with the little frying pan lid). Is there anyone out there has one that they'd like to sell or swap for something else. As I said in my other swap post, I've got plenty of swappable stuff in my camping cupboard, so drop me a PM and...

I've got a pair of camo trousers and a matching jacket (see here for pic). I love them, but the DPM effect is a little overpowering. I'd like to dye them, but they seem to be made of a sort of synthetic/cotton mix (not sure of the composition, exactly). Has anyone out there tried and...

I've got a Columbia Waterproof All Sport Jacket in black, size L, to swap. It was £70 new about (?) three years ago, and has been used lightly since. DESCRIPTION It's ideal for spring-autumn. It's light, durable and, most importantly, keeps the rain out. It also has a specially designed...

I'd like to give a new lease of life to my trusty meths burner, so I'm keen to get my paws on a Clikstand. (And a Subbuteo set. And an Action Man with the moving eyes. Etc.)* Is there anyone out there has one that they'd like to sell or swap for something else. I've got plenty of swappable...

Hey all. Been itching to try out a few new bits of kit for weeks now, so am looking to head out into the Great Wide Yonder that is Hertfordshire. In particular, the bit just north of London, ie Barnet/Potters Bar/Hatfield/Enfield. Trouble is, there aren't really any campsites in that neck...

I'm having a bit of a clear-out ("finally!" says SWMBO). There may be more to come, but for now, here's a link to pics and descriptions for some of the items here. WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR: I'm open to suggestions but definitely on the list: - Clikstand - GB axe sharpening stone. - Grilliput...

did anyone ever manage to find anywhere to buy one of those swish berry pickers that Ray and Gordon used in the Wild Food series. The red plastic thing they've got on Woodlore is a bit crappy, and I'm not minded to make one out of kebab skewers at the moment (lots to do, not enough free time at...

These are growing in my back garden in Hertfordshire - it's quite shaded and surrounded by a mix of coniferous and deciduous trees. Link to pics They're quite young specimens - I'd say no more than a week or so old. Can anyone help me work out what they are? Thanks Michael.

NOW SOLD I've got a dark blue Regatta Survivor 100L up for grabs. Yep, I know it's not the coolest make in the shops, but it ticks just about every box required for a good bushcraft rucksack. And, like all my kit, I've really looked after it, so it's in great nick - you'd barely know it had...

Anyone used one of those Solid Fuel Hexamine Cookers? Are they any good? And, if so, does anyone have a cooker and spare tablets they'd like to swap? Cheers, Michael.

Due to overbuying camping gear, and inspired by a recent thread about inflatable mattresses, I'm getting rid of my Thermarest Prolite 3 self-inflating mattress. It's only been used twice and is in fine condition. It's a great mattress, but I've since bought an Exped DownMat 7, so it's just...

Mornin' all. IT'S SNOWED!!!!! Why couldn't it do THAT over the weekend when I could go and camp in it?!? Last year, I mentioned to a couple of people in passing that I was looking for a pestle and mortar. I then went out and bought one but of course, next birthday, I managed to land another...

I recently heard a piece of music that I'd really like to get hold of. It's from Ray Mears' Bushcraft, series 1 programme 1 - Aboriginal Britain. The big question is... Does anyone know what the beautiful piece of music is that is playing while he's fishing for flounders on the Thames...

Hi all, I'm ordering a Vaughan mini-axe from Axminster Tools, so thought I might as well order all the kit I need for sharpening my knife and axe while I'm there. (My current knife is a 4-inch Mora, but am in the process of building a knife from a Brisa kit.) Can you advise on a complete...

Am getting rid of my Thermarest Prolite 3 self-inflating mattress. It's only been used twice and is in fine condition. I paid £65 for it in last autumn, it's currently on www.raymears.com for £59.99. Am looking to swap it for something for around £50 in value, I'm not sure what I want so...

Hi all. I'm having another clear out - this time it's the turn of my long-neglected Tracklogs digital maps. All originals, all unregistered. For those of you who might not be familiar with Tracklogs digital mapping, it's OS Explorer (25K) and Landranger (50K) mapping for your PC. Instead...
