Bit of a long shot but any owners of the above knife here? Missed out on the drop point, blue anodised version on Heinnie Haynes. There are a couple for sale in the USA so might get one shipped across. Appreciate any thoughts from actual owners if they are any good, worth the cost etc? Not...

Hi all, Been considering trying a canvas A Frame type bed for a while but struggling to find one that is ready made in the UK. Anyone know where I can find one / someone able to make it?? Basically just a cotton canvas tube that is stretched out to form a bed about 3ft wide. Most canvas rolls...

Hi folks, I'm thinking about buying a Karrimor SF Predator 30 rucksack but need to know if the elastic side pouches are big enough to fit a round (cylinder type) 1L nalgene type water bottle? Anyone have one that could check please? No info online! Cheers!

Maybe I’m being unreasonable but I bought a Norwegian army sleeping bag cover from them. From the pics and description it looked like a nice canvas cover. When it arrived it was super thin and could see daylight through it! Not much use as bivvy bag! It was also missing its closing toggles...

Hi all, Wondered if any of you had used a surplus site called Berlin Military? Considering a few surplus items they have but not sure if the site can be trusted? Can’t see an address or find them in any other google search. https://berlin-military.com/Start-Page Would Paypal be a safe bet...

So, I was upon in Scotland a couple of weeks back hammocking about 20 feet from the side of a fresh water loch. I was woken up at around 1am by the sound of something in the water beside me, being comfy and warm in my hammock (and with a tarp obscuring my view) I didn’t bother to look what it...

Hello all, I’ve been having a good bit of fun getting out with the hammock but I’m starting to struggle to find new places. Everywhere else I have found so far is just dense pine or spruce which I don’t really enjoy camping in. Anyone have any suggestions on new areas to look at? Thought...

Hi folks, I’m hoping someone on here has some experience of fishing and more so permits! So the Mrs and I are currently planning a wild camping / touring trip up through central Sweden and ending Are. I’m very keen to get some fishing in and we have already planned a few stop offs to wild camp...

Hi all, I'm looking for a tough pair of boots that I can use for general woodland muddy trails and rough ground. I have found in the past that some shoes / boots have given me shin splints due to them not fitting tightly, weighing too much and a lack of arch support. So with this in mind...

Anyone else getting a file store website when clicking on the forum link after a google search on an iOS device? Directs to a website for file storing and then opens the App Store.

Hello all, Well it's certainly icy here! Having slipped and fallen wearing my Salomon approach shoes which have a pretty aggressive tread I'm now a little more than hesitant about venturing out on the icy paths and pavements to work. I know there are small spikes that slip over shoes you...

I'm after a pair of neoprene wellingtons. Can't decide between the muck boots or the grubs. Does anyone have experience of the latter? I know the muck boots get a good review. In particular I was looking at the grubs frostline if anyone owns a pair and has any thoughts on them?

As above, http://www.britishmilitarysurplus.co.uk/ Thinking about ordering some kit but I haven't seen anyone use/mention this site or company before. Your thoughts please :)

Hello all, I've searched the forum but not found anything specific to what I'm looking for. I've recently damaged my good fleece jacket (worn under a Swiss Alpenflage jacket) I assume it was caught on a thorn etc. Anyway I'm looking for a tough over shirt for general outdoors work, I'm...

Found this online, looks like an interesting recycling project! I just need some old skis now! http://www.instructables.com/id/Make-a-takedown-bow-from-skis/ Your thoughts?

Hello All, I am considering getting myself a "proper" multi tool having used cheap ones for years. I can't decide between the Leatherman Wave or the more expensive Surge. Any thoughts or observations would be appreciated, especially from the owners of said tools! Thanks Surge...

Hello all, As above how do feel about this camo compared to the older DPM?. I never really liked DPM but I have had my eye on a MTP day sack and wind proof smock for a while now. I currently can't justify the above average surplus prices of these at the moment. Anyone own some? Any pros or...

Whilst looking through "Torch Direct", I noticed that Led Lenser have brought out an upgraded P7. Seems like a big step up from the last one (320 Lumens on this one) and its still AAA battery powered, very tempting! Anyone own one yet? Your thoughts? NB. No links to the seller, just...

I'm looking for something that may well not exist! ;) Basically looking for a synthetic material pullover smock with a 1/2 zip and hood, which is wind and water resistant, a fleece liner might be good too. I have seen some by Mil-Tec on Amazon for £35, which is about as much as I want to pay...

Hello All, I'm in need for some advice on a "heavy duty" ;) waterproofer for my work jacket. It's made by sundridge and is made of "silatex?" which I assume is silicone coated PU fabric. Thing is its not as waterproof as its meant to be. I don't think Nikwax would work but does anyone...
