I know it's not exactly feild kit, but I'm interested in making things and always have been. A rucksack with all the back support is a bit technical so i'll leave that to the pros but I've been thinking about making a duffle bag. I'd like to outline my original plan and see what you guys think...

Hi all, just wanted to share some good news with people who I think would fully appreciate it. All things going well, I should be off to go and work with an organisation that works with the San bushmen of Botswana. I'll be working with Gantsi Craft, part of a group of organisations set up to...

I remeber finding this a while ago, just looks like a fantastic material. A friend of mine is going to central america soon, I'll see if they can send me some back. Thought you guys might like a look. I can see it making great bolsters and bits, if not full handles as well as some beautiful...

for anyone interested.... 2gb storage, the idea being you can just search through your emails (google are pretty good at the old searching business... Handy because you can check other email addresses through it. Pretty good on spam too, but you need an invite: give me an email and...

Has anyone had any experience in building with cob? I stumbled on a book about it in Waterstones the other day and have just spent a while looking at what google came up with. Looks like fun! It remings me a bit of that chap who built his house (in the ashdown forest I think) on grand...
