    Half price Swanndri Ranger shirts

    Just got an email from Swanndri saying that they are offering their Ranger shirt at half price. Obviously you've got to add in VAT and customs fees but they still work out a lot cheaper than they are regularly sold in the UK. Enjoy. Jack http://www.swanndri.co.nz/default.aspx?catid=7609&pdid=5

    Hammock for a heavy guy

    I'm on the look out for a hammock that would suffice for my brother-in-law who happens to be on the large side. It would need to be capable of dealing with a load in the region of 145kgs and 6'2". Most of the hammocks I've been looking at (DD, TW) cater for around 120/125kgs. I realise that...

    I need to fund a night vision scope for my rifle so am willing to part with some equipment to offset the cost. First up is a Bushnell NV Monocular Model 26-0100W (Waterproof) 2.5 x 42.

    Tarp Flyz

    As the title suggests. I'm tinkering with my set up and wouldn't mind some of Dutch's Tarp Flyz if anyone has some lying around not being used. I know I can get them from Yankeeland but I got stung with £11+ fees for a package worth around £18 last time and I would like to avoid it happening...

    Quite possibly the perfect job?

    My life hasn't always been this idyllic, but what it has given me is a good perspective on when it's going well. As some of you may know, I am an ecological consultant living in East Yorkshire and currently it is my busy time. What you may not know is that I am still recovering from a broken...

    Some of you may know that I am an ecologist. I specialise in mammals;especially bats and badgers, but cover most other furry things. I have worked on projects with reptiles but it is an additional skill, not my main one. Now I know there is a herptologist amongst us and am after a bit of help...

    Campsite Recommendation

    Hi guys, Our campsite booking has fallen through at the last minute. No-ones fault but it has left us in a bind for the bank holiday week. Can anyone recommend a decent campsite in the north of England that is fairly bushy i.e. has woodland closeby? Thanks, Jack

    Twin Plywood Kayak

    I have a twin plywood kayak sitting in a shed that isn't going to get used anytime soon so am willing to part with it for WHY?

    Woodlore Shopping Experience

    Just thought that I would post about my first and only experience of shopping on the Woodlore Online Shop. On Tuesday I finally ordered a couple of the Mora Craftline HighQ Robust knives with the "30 Years of Bushcraft" special edition engraving as they were on offer and I had been meaning to...

    Is there a knife doctor in the house?

    I bought a handmade knife a while back off a seller on Ebay (that tells you how long ago). It was one of his first attempts so its lack of finish is excusable, but it is not that well finished off and as such it has sat in a draw as a "job to do when I have the time" item. I like it though and...

    Gear to swap - Swanndri Bush Shirt, Karrimor Sabre 45, 5.11 P.U.S.H

    Hi there, What with having loads more stuff in and around the house at the moment (Christmas!) I have just been given orders from the long-haired General to get rid of some, in her words, "crap". Personally I don't get why she can't see that having more than one Swanndri Bush Shirt is just...

    Dutch oven on my Christmas list, but which one?

    Have just handed over the Christmas list to the better half and apart from a raised eyebrow all seemed to be going well until she asked "Where am I supposed to get a dutch oven from?" So, that's the premise for this topic... which one? Have looked around and am starting to think that I would...
