thanks for the tips! I have the cicerone guide already, but it is a bit dated. Of course the landscape is far older than the guide, so I do not expect issues there. I know of the site. It is really helpfull and gives some good insights. I was just wondering if any of you have recently...

Hi! in a few days I will be flying to Scotland (sure hope glasgow airport will be open) to hike part of the north to the cape long distance path. I will start at fort william and walk it for 5 to 7 days, depending on weather and personal fitness. Does anyone have any experience with it? It...

HI everybody! I'm thinking of walking the cowal way the first half of June and get a change to enjoy the beautifull scenery of Scotland... Does anyone have any experience with the path? Looking for info on the signing, possibilities for wild camping and the surroundings in general. All...

While shopping for some asian ingredients in my local chinese neighborhood I wandered around the grocery shops and a thought sprang up in my mind. why do we not use much more asian stuff on trips? they have so many dried stuff you can't imagine. Of course we all know instant noodles, but they...

I guess the cheapest of getting them is in a chinese shop. if you have a chinese neighborhood in you city that would be the place to go! over here in Amsterdam they will cost i think between 10 and 20 euro's... I personnally have a small ceramic one for grounding seeds, garlic and stuff like...

i've got one to and it works great... I use it together with with a folding saw and I get everything i want done! I got mine from a dutch website, but they deliver only in the NL. Cost me about 70 euro's...

nice links! Never really thought of actually trying to make one, but it seems to be very light, and therefore very suitable to bring on longer hikes. So I might try to master the skills and get myself some dinner this summer... :)

nice link! liked it

ouch! that must hurt, hitting your foot with a machete. oetzi, just out of curiousity: why did you decide to hurt your boots? they must be ready for the trashcan now...

wasn't there a topic on this a long time ago. Couldn't find it, but i remember someone tested a machete and 1 or 2 axes on several jobs... can anyone remember that? I think it was around the beginning of last summer...

wow, nice links! will have a look a thorough look at them when I get back home. Don't think people around here will appreciatie me looking at these pictures... :)

One thing that I know is in the same region as tomatoes... try cucumber. Once I was a child I had very very bad sunburns and after the cucumbers the burns were far less and no longer painfull. Just slice cumumber lengthwise in strips of about 5 mm. Put them on your burned skin and put a wet...

ok, thanks for the info! :)

Hi folks, I am going to walk offa's dyke and I was wondering what the quality of the water is in wales near the English border. I plan not to visit towns to often so if it is possible to get water from streams and rivers along the way it would be great. Is it clean enough to filter it with...

thanks for your comments!

I just had a small puncture in mine a week or so ago. The repair set instruction told me to just put in some of the adhesive and let it dry. It seems to be fixed, but still have to check if it holds. Otherwise I'll use a patch... Seems the simple and safe way...

wow... nice to see a thread on bushtucker man. I think that was my first contact with bushcraft. Discovery showed it years ago. I never really linked it to bushcraft back than, but I think he is responsible for catching my interests in the first place. Might buy one or 2 dvd's.

thanks... I have visited that site before. It has some decent information. I was just wondering what peoples personal experiences are...

wow! great work! Seems like a special section will get enough posts... I;ll have a look at the links when I have some more time. Otherwise my boss might send me on a very long trip. ;)

Would it be a good idea to start a new section about destinations and travels, where people can post experiences about good locations, areas and nice routes? Right now I found those things all around the forum, but a central place for them would be nice... just a suggestion... what do...
