My favourite time of the year. Everyone thinks I am mad and should want the hot summer days to go on forever! I much prefer the crisp cold of a winter morning, especially if there has been snow. There is something about putting on the winter gear and going for a walk that really makes me...

Thanks dwardo - clearly more to think about than I had imagined. Thanks Ozzie for the heads up about the NFAS. Searched their site and there is a club fairly close to me! Will check it out once I am back from my summer hols with the family.

Thanks for this one. Will definitely check it out. Strange thing is that I am sure someone online said this had translation issues. Is that accurate?

Soon I am moving house to a more semi-rural locality with more open woodland and I am really keen to develop my interest in using the bow and arrow. I love the traditional style of bow - without sounding too cheesy or corny - the Robin Hood longbow type. Sorry about this description - I am a...

I am really interested in learning more about tracking skills and wondered if anyone could recommend a good book for a beginner to read.

What got you into the outdoors, if you don't mind me asking.

Well I AM envious! Would love all of that kit. Showed SWMBO and there was an emphatic 'you are not buying all of that' look in her eye! Something to work on I think. Great kit and so enjoyable to see someone who really loves the outdoors.

I've been interested in doing this myself but am based in the North West. Does anyone have any recommendations for courses up here as well.

I am told a single solar panel doesn't create a lot of power, hence why houses have several installed. My question is this: If every single house/block of flats etc had several panels on their roofs what amount of power could this create? I mean every house in the entire country, so several...

Currently, there is a move to improve spelling, punctuation and grammar in school. This is because it now forms an important part of the SATs at age 11. The SPAG test was introduced last year and appears to have caught out a lot of schools. This year it is set to be even more challenging...

Any pics of the new set up you could post? Would love to see it with pots on. Can't decide if I want one now with this new stand pattern.

Does anyone have the never version of this stove with the slightly different pot stand arrangement? Just wondering if it is useful or not. From the pics on the site it seems a bit wobbly to me.

Thanks for the review. Really looks good. My only hesitation is the cost. A bit cheaper and I'd have got one by now. £50 for me is a big shell out so really want to feel the majority consensus is that it is worth the money. Is it worth the expense - aware of a few others cheaper than this...

Was all set to buy one of these after seeing them on the net when a friend told me not to bother because the stitching is terrible. Is this right? Are there any other items that could do a similar job?

I wish it was. Made me really think about whether I could call it something else.

Help, am I looking at this all wrong? Here's the deal: I'm a teacher and am going to run a simple bushcraft club for the kids in my school - age 10/11 - along the lines of simple knot tying, using stoves (Trangia types etc), navigation, tent building, shelter making, wide games... you get the...

Hope I've got this in the right thread! First post.:) Looking at buying one of these and wondered if anyone had one and what people thought. This seems like a new version as the grill is different to the ones everyone seems to have where it clips in? Pretty new to bushcraft so would...
