Hi, I have a trip planned next month and we had a last minute idea to canoe around the islands on loch lomond for a week. I am having real trouble finding a place to hire two canoes. Tiso is ideal, cheap too but they don't have any available that week. Brookbank canoes do, but they are...

I am sorry to say my tarp has a leak. It's one from the group buy. The leak is comming from the velcro loop at the top of the tarp. It seems that the water is soaking in from the webbing outside and saturating the loop which then drips water on me every so often. I noticed this when I was out...

Hi, I got a sabre 45 from Endicott’s a while back. The camo version that was on offer. On my last trip one of the waist straps started to come away from the side. Half of the webbing has come away from the sack. I can’t find my receipt so I can’t send it back. I really like the pack and I...

I have just been offered an air rifle for a great price from a friend. Then I just remembered that I will have to use public transport to get about as I dont dive just now. I know you can't walk around with a loaded gun in a public place and you need a reason for having it. I am likley to...

A mate of mine is giving up shooting. He asked me if I wanted to buy his air rifle. I have not shot one for years and I am no expert. I wondered if someone could tell me if its a good deal or not. Webley fx2000 .22 , bbmf silencer, 3l 300 bar filling kit, 3-9x50 scope, bipod, bag + extras...

I have never used a liner in a sleeping bag but I really want to try one out in my nanok -10. The added insulation will help, but the main reason is that I find the nanok inner material quite clamy next to my skin, if thats the way to describe it. I wanted something softer, more wicking. I...

It has been stated that is illegal to fish in the UK with any method other than a rod and line. However as far as I can tell this is not true in scotland. http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Topics/Fisheries/Salmon-Trout-Coarse/17380/8700

I wanted to find a drybag that I can use in the main compartment of the sack, that does not restrict the size. I was given one a while bag, to which I am very greatful, but when I use it I cant put my nanok -10 in sideways at the bottom, I have to use a bin liner. If anyone can give me...

I was looking at one of these, anyone use them? They anygood? Or do they look silly, i have not worn one in years.

I came back from a recent trip and my jacket was stinking. I had to give it a good wash to get the smell out. The think is the techwash is not really cheap, also will it do any harm if I am washing the jacket like every other week. I want to clean it but I dont want to wear it out with over...

I was out this weekend, trying to get into my hammock in the dark and wondered, maybe I should goto bed when its a bit lighter, either that or get a better torch. So what time do you all hit the sack?

I was just wondering whats the best way to clean your knife when you are between jobs like cutting wood, skinning a rabbit, cutting up food, eating etc. Its not like I have a washing up bowl about. I usually just wipe it with something. I have not been ill yet but you never know.

I have heard good things about the Rangers Shirt Extreme. What do you think. I have a few quid saved up and was thinking of getting one. Will they keep me nice and warm in scotland during winter? I was thinking of using it under my gortex jacket. What do you wear underneath? I know...

Will they be upset if I make a fire to cook my lunch at chatelherault? I dont suppose you can camp there, would you even want to, heh.

Anyone know a quick and easy way to make a seat to sit by the fire? When there are no logs etc laying about whats the best method of making a chair. I was thinking about it the other day, I find it alot more comfortable than sitting on the floor. I was thinking I could sew some kind of...

I was just browsing on the site and I noticed a thread about SAK. I have not had one in years, since I was a boy.(Prolly a knock off version, heh) I have a leatherman, which is a good tool but I like the idea of SAK for everyday use/camping/bushcraft. I never knew they many so many types...

Can anyone recommend a water proof bag for a sabre 45? Also something what will fit into the side pockets as well. I missed the group buy :( Thanks Pete

Hi, I have just got hold of a army bivi bag to try out. I have never slept on the ground without a tent to protect me from bugs, etc. I don't really like the idea of insects crawling into my bag during the night. Is this a problem? I was planning try it out in scotland. Pete

Hello, I just got my nanok -10, I am very impressed. The bag is samller than I thought it would be, I don't see the weight being a problem. I was going to try it out in the house, but amazingly its actually very warm in scotland this week. I have to say, getting it back into the bag is...

I was wondering should I avoid particular types of wood when making an eating stick :) I am in the UK Pete
