Thanks for ur help. I decided to be brave and take a file to the smallest flathead on my wave and I now own a very sharp little awl. yay.

Hi, I have been whittling down my gear and have come to another tough decision making point. Which also may mean I get to buy a new peice of kit. Bonus! I like to carry a small blade, a small saw and an awl for trap making and general bush crafty uses around camp. Also I currently have a...

Superb thank you. I knew there must have been a company to do it. And I've been thinking of getting their 1.3ltr pot too. Loving Vargo atm! :)

Thank you for the info, I'm not sure I'd take the lid with me anyway. Just want something to drink out of. I will only use it to boil water if I've stripped down very light and just taken my water bottle and cup, and then got myself lost far from camp and needed a warm drink. Not very likely...

I can vouch for Meindl. Have a pair of Lhoste and they're very lightweight 3-4 season boot. They are Nubuck which I was sceptical about when I first got them because I've always had normal leather before them. and they are Gore-tex But after 4 years of service I can say that there is nothing...

Fantastic, thank you. I was wracking my brains to think of reasons why a certain shape would be no good over a fire. I'm not bothered over boil times either so great, I get to buy something Titanium yay! (secret fetish I think) :o Just gotta choose which one.

Ooh also If nobody has any real problem with that type of billy I wonder if you own either the - Vargo Ti-Lite 1.3 litre - Alpkit MytiPot Am a little torn. I like the simplicity of the Vargo but the lid actually looks useful on the Mytipot.

Thank you very much! I love this forum I don't suppose anyone out there has this combo? (Alpkit mug and nalgene bottle) Would be nice to see the fit.

Like many bushcraft kit addicts, I rushed out and purchased a zebra billly beacuse they got a lot of attention because of Mr Mears. But I don't really like it. It's nice and everything, but the whole little plate thing in the lid didn't impress me, the handle doesn't fold flat, the lid...

....Please! To elaborate, I own a couple of the 1 litre Nalgene wide mouth bottles. I use a very lightweight plastic cup at the moment, but was thinking of getting a SS cup which fits onto the bottle to save space. I thought it would be nice to have a metal one so that I have an emergency...

I was thinking of making the inside of my poncho sticky so that if I ever needed a huge plaster I could just roll up in it and wait for help!! :dunno:

Good points there about the legal side. My First Aid ran out a few years back and I haven't found the time, money or motivation to re train. I generally like going out to places where people aren't - one of the main reasons I love the woods - so my kit is for me, or maybe my mate who I...

Ok First thing I'm noticing is that I bought a large-ish bag for my FAK and have the tendancy to fill it... I'm getting rucksack deja vu... I like that burn gel you have there, I chucked in a spray but never really liked the idea of having pressurised bottles like that, too easily peirced or...

Hi I had a quick search and didn't find a thread regarding this, please point me in the right dfirection if I'm wrong. I wanted to focus on my First aid kit. I have never been really sure what to put in it and whether to have more than one, or keep modifying it depending on my trip etc...

Awww I miss my Special 6 now. I owned it for 3 years and rarely used it so had to sell. I was just too warm!! Incidentally I never wore anything under mine. All this talk tho makes me want it back again, very very warm. Shame they're no good for sitting around a fire tho eh.

Very nice job!! Well done! Looks like the Wilderness outfitters Wilderness quiver. Did you follow this or just coincidence? Saw an instructional vid on youtube. Very sturdy design. I was thinking of making one, maybe using some sheep skin to soften the botton and around the top to lessen the...

I like the sound of the inner tube. I tend not to poo on my tools, as a rule, so thought it was a nice excuse to carry more 550 cord. Yes theres room fo a lighter, or a teeny bottle of hand sanitiser. And Kerne you flatter me so. :o I think I might even make some of my other ideas so you...

Glad I could be some inspiration. Here was mine; http://bazbackpack.blogspot.com/2009/06/tent-peg-toilet-trowel.html I stumbles upon this This Blizzard tent stake mod. It weighs nothing but thought that a sponge handle wasn't good enough and that if i made it hollow I could fit the TP...

I weighed it before sparying and without the TP inside and no tape or wrap came to 126g I think. Of course I could have made it a couple of inches shorter to save some more weight, but would have had to fold the toilet paper, (its a little longer than the width of a piece inside) It's a lovely...

Hi people, Just made this and thought I'd post some pics to show you. It started life as a length of 32mm MuPVC pipe, I bought a coupler and threaded cap and stuck them with solvent weld cement. All regular plumbing store stuff. I cut the scoop out with a hacksaw and filed and sanded it...
