Hi all, I know this isn't really a dog advice forum as such but I couldn't really find the answer elsewhere online and I know there are others here with springers as companions. Provided her temperament develops into a dog that likes to stay close as opposed to one that's gone the moment she's...

I'm after a piece for making a nice wide strop on a wooden base and then something to go around the top of the axe handle as a guard. I can see stuff on eBay but do people have any suggested suppliers? Thanks, Dave

Hi all, looking for some inspiration on how to sheath a 23inch bahco saw blade I recently bought. The idea is to carry it out and make its handle in the field. At the moment it gets carried in the cardboard sleeve it was delivered in but as the top pokes out of the lk35 pack I use, the first...

I've had a read around and watched some YouTube videos but wanted to ask again for some fresh opinions. What's people's experience? My current knife is a stainless Mora 2010 Bushcraft knife and I've never been that impressed. I've had 2 other people have a try and sharpen it and although I can...

Hi guys, looking for some opinions. My question in a nutshell is, sleeping bag or top quilt? Ok so a little more information may be needed. I'm scared to order a top quilt because it's a new concept to me. I'm used to a sleeping bag but thats not really a good enough reason to dismiss a...

This has no relation to the other post. It's pure coincidence. I'm looking in to buying one of these but ideally I want it in Khaki. I've found this smock seems to be discounted on a lot of sites at the moment but it's difficult for me to find a Khaki in large at a favourable price. So far...

So I recently had a 10 x 8 shed put out back since I'm being evicted from the spare room due to another little lass on the way. Quite excited by the idea of having my own shed but because my kit has to go out there as well as things like my books, a normal damp and draughty build just won't do...

Just wanted to start a general comments topic about this question. For me I never seem to stop learning something when I wild camp, especially if it's with more experienced people. I'm lucky enough to live near Harvestman who has a wealth of knowledge about plants and bugs and he'll tell...

I've had a quick scout but haven't found a thread of collective ideas on what makes a comfortable night's sleep in a hammock. (Feel free to drop links in here if you find any) I very recently bought myself a ticket to the moon parachute silk hammock. First night of using it I didn't have the...

I hope I've put this in the right place. Apologies if not. It goes without saying there are plenty of people on here that use a shotgun. I'm fairly new to it and have no permissions. Currently my only experience is at clays which I'm getting better and better at. Currently using a...

I went out for a hike last week and as I planned to be out for most of the day I packed cooking/brewing gear, some food to cook, some extra layers (as my route was up over the local mountain) and a tarp. The tarp was for setting up should I have needed to stop for food or just rest up during...

Anyone seen this on More4? The second episode was on tonight, I missed last weeks unfortunately. Really enjoyed it though, very interesting!

Hi everyone, I'm looking for some tips and advice on where to start with learning to do some garden projects. I'm a complete newbie to wood working but I've always had attention for detail and enjoy learning new skills, especially the ones I call life skills. Over the past two years I've self...

Thought I'd do a quick review on this sleep mat as I hadn't seen anyone else do it but apologies if they have and I've just missed it. Bit of background is I've currently done two overnighters now since getting in to the whole wild camping thing last year. Just two sleeps have really taught...

Hi guys, I know there has been a lot of posts around about the full size M90 bag and I took people's opinions on board about its bulk and tried to go with the happy medium and found the Aircrew version. It packs down smaller than the full version and is advertised as a warm 3 season bag. So...

Well this pack arrived yesterday after buying from a well known seller from ebay for an absolute steal at £48 and I have to say it was a top service and I'm so glad I chose this one. Thinking of storage space, it was a tough choice between this (50L without side pouches) and the Berghaus Vulcan...

I've actually found a subject that I don't think has been discussed on here yet and that's no mean feat! I started reading up on sphagnum moss today as I've obviously heard about its many uses. One of things it's famous for is as a wound dressing due to its natural iodine content. But then I...

Hi all, The majority of the account below has been pasted from a PM I sent to Harvestman. Therefore I apologise in advance for the distinct lack of pictures. I hadn't gone out with the intention of posting here but Mike suggested I did as lots of you lovely people would have some really helpful...

Have a look at this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B000R0JDSI/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?qid=1383090516&sr=8-6&pi=AC_SX110_SY165 If the item itself wasn't funny enough, check out some of the reviews people have done. Brilliant!

I have no idea whether this is up to much but this has been in dads shed for years gradually deteriorating. The original sheath has long gone too. Anybody recognise the maker VENTURE made in Sheffield? Since signing up to this forum its given me the incentive to ask him to find it out and...
