Thanks for your input Gaudette! There are already a few companies which offer day or two day treasure hunts locally within a town basis but there is no prize incentive for doing them and although they may be alright to do as a family with small kids I was aiming this more at adults. Although...

Thanks guys. I know what you are saying Shewie, thats why we were planning on giving codes as clues which then have to be entered into a website to find the next clue. If someone wants to put a clue up on the website then they will only be doing themselves out of pocket. Seems stupid. And...

I had already spoken with the Gambling Commission. Apparently its considered a game of skill and so is outside the remit of gambling laws. Cheers anyway Knifefan, I thought it would have come under that.

You are right to a certain degree Littlechief but one major difference is that with this idea there is a much higher cash prize (we are talking thousands as a prize instead of a few hundred) and there is to be some tough riddles and puzzles to do to get the next clue. It won't be using any GPS...

That's fair enough Baggy. Thanks for your input. Would you be interested if it were regional? Like in your case if it was just in the South East?

Hi all. The last few months I've been trying to think up business ideas and I think I may have one. I'm not really sure where to direct this question so I thought that everyone here being outdoors types, that this may be a good place to ask, but anyway.... I was considering the...

I brought a couple over the past few years thinking I could try and use them for hunting but I soon found out that I'm a hopeless shot with them. Don't let that deter you though. I think there will still be fair demand, I think your best off just making small batches and just see how it goes...

Thanks, that looks a great little project. Going to have to give it a go now!

Whats that, small metal pot with holes around the top?

Growing up as a cadet we were always told to discard the water afterwards because it contained tin. I always disputed this fact as I know they don't use tin anymore in cans and I always did use the water for a brew. Old fashioned worries die hard I guess.

I've got a British DPM tarp which I've used alot and never had problems with. Think it cost me 20 quid brand new but you can get them cheaper elsewhere. I personally can't see the point of spending a ton of money on a tarp which you may end up losing or tearing but each to their own. If you...

It is true that the smaller engines are aluminium blocks prone to cracking. If you want the bomb proof version its the 3.0l unfortunately. Obviously if you can afford to run a 3L then you would probably buy something more modern one would assume. I looked at getting a 4x4 for ages to run on...

Its ok. The missus can get me shed loads of the stuff lol. Should have thought of it earlier. I know others have stated dosage before but whats the sort of amount you should be adding per litre? Roughly.

How about a little Jimny? Then again, I seriously looked at getting a samarai for a while until I realised that the MPG wasn't much better than a landie. Pretty shocking for a 1L.

Pretty fool proof but as Copper says they do tend to bend and get a bit wobbly with use but you can still use them fine. They are good to keep in your pack if you want a lightweight cooking/brew source on the go but there are drawbacks. The main problem with using them is that they do take a...

They'll do nicely Paddy, cheers for that. Also might try having a look around some charity shops as you suggested Turbogirl. Thank you for the suggestion!

Does anyone know where you can get the wool from? The only blankets I can seem to find are only 170x120ish sort of size and are two small to do anything with.

I had a Karrimor racksack about a eight years ago which was good quality but I don't think they are any good whatsoever anymore. I brought a pair of walking trainers from them and the eyelets came off the first time I went to wear them. A load of rubbish.

OK, so its still possible to get it for external use, that's OK then. If not I'l ask my missus to get some from the wholesaler for me (she is a vet.) If its impossible to get it from Chemists anymore I could possibly offer it here on the site if I can bulk buy.
