I have had a pair of these for about 5 years, http://www.barratts.co.uk/en/rockwood-leather-ankle-boot-171801 Had them resoled and then wore them out again can't wait to pick them up tomorrow from the cobblers :D I was wearing them every day and there are a few little problems, mostly...

I mostly use the clock on my phone as I am not a fan of wearing a watch on my wrist, but I was bored one night and wanted to see if I could sew webbing with my sewing machine and it ended up as this: [/IMG]

More charity shopping today in a different town and the first shop had a XL down bodywarmer for a tenner :D Now do I take it apart and use the down or keep it and wear it ...... hmm decisions, decisions.

Thanks for that I tried searching the forum but couldn't find any results. I decided to try a local upholsterers today and the guy told me there are very few suppliers in the country after giving me a funny look, he then asked what it was for (another funny look when I told him) but he did say...

Thanks for all the suggestions and links :) I can't believe I never thought about ebay lol I have seen a couple of potential donors/blankets already. I also had never thought of cattails have just done a little reading on them and they are fascinating :) might just have to see if I can find...

Anyone know a decent, cheap source of down? I am thinking of making a sleeping bag/blanket but am having a hard time finding any even a search of all the charity shops has come up empty :(

The area was really nice, when I was younger I did most of my camping up north around the Glen Clova/Prosen area and perhaps a little around Braemar and I have never thought of camping more locally. I did find the set up lighter than my tent but it did seem a little more bulky but perhaps that...

inbetween the layers of the hammock I have two car window protectors from Lidl cost about 3 quid each, they are all shiny and reflective :) and I also had a Multimat ccf mat with reflective foil stuff on it in there as well, :) the other guys use similar things in their hammocks. I was toying...

Hello folks I just thought I would share a few pics of my overnighter in Pitmeden forest at the weekend. This was my first time using a hammock and my first time camping in temperatures as low as this (down to -2 according to the temperature app on my phone so I am not claiming it is accurate)...

I used to do this with airsoft rifles: 1. set up a piece of paper (I used A4 @15m) with a cross on it and take a shot aiming at the middle of the cross, then without moving the rifle set the crosshairs to where the pellet hit the target. re-set the rifle to aim at the middle of the cross...

What about downloading some and printing them off? here are a few I found so far :D...

I think my local woods had something similar to those so maybe contact the rangers service? or see if the forestry commission have a paper leaflet that would help

If you have an android smartphone there is a forestry commission app which is free I would say it is not a comprehensive guide but covers a few of the most common trees you will find (did I say it is free :) ) I also downloaded the collins gem trees book to my phone at the same time (which was...

Thanks again folks :) The avatar might be a picture I took but on the other hand I might have pinched it from the net, I have been using it on geocaching forums for a few years now and can't remember :) but from what I remember the village had it's name changed slightly as the sign kept...

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. It looks like I am going to have to do loads more reading O_O as there is a tonne of good information on here.

I am new to the forum and just thought I would say a little hello :) I have been reading about bushcraft on and off for a good few years, unfortunately I haven't done much camping in the same time period, although in the last few months I have begun to rectify this :) I have enjoyed reading...
