Good points Mantic, and I'd just like to expand on one of them: "3. The Police don't make law, they enforce it." Precisely my point. I'd much rather sort out any problems with the enforcers of the law, than for it to get to the courts! Perhaps I'm being a little naive, but as you say...

OK, I've been following this thread with great interest, and wondered if it may be worth being more pro-active about this thorny issue. Could it be worth going along to your local Police Station to see if it's something you could discuss with a Police Officer, particularly in light of this...

Can you let us know how you get on with the Coleman Viper Beamdune? I don't have a clue about tents, and have gone somewhat "snowblind" trying to figure out if I can get a decent little 1-2 man tent for around £50.(I'm on a budget, trying to get my kit together!) The Viper seems ideal...

Our deepest condolences to Ray and family. Thinking of you at this sad time.

Following on from Nemesis' Aldi heads up, I thought this might be useful: http://www.lidl.co.uk/gb/home.nsf/pages/c.o.20060424.index Starts Monday 24/04. Hope it helps. Jack.

"SEASONING"...Thank you! That was the phrase I was after. ("proofing"?...what was I thinking!?!?) When I get a chance, I think I'll give it a go (on aluminium) and will let you know the results. (Have you done this yourself Cairodel?) Even if it is only moderately effective, it might be...

Thank's for everyone's input, it's given me much to ponder on. If anything, I'm probably more undecided than when I began! (which is a good thing, given the suggestions you've all provided) Longstrider: Care to expand on where you can get good prices on Knives? (I should say I'm an Ebay...

Jon: Thank you. Gibbsy: Thank you. Yes, things are a tad warmer and drier! Might have to pick your brains for locations that are wild camp/bushcraft friendly. Ogri: Thank you. Much appreciated. Beowulf: Howdy! JDLenton: Thank you. TomTom: Thank you. BorderReiver: Thank you...

I'm looking for a handy, inexpensive folding knife I can keep on me while out and about (away from the Mora 2000 at camp), and have pretty much settled on either: A: CRKT Mo'Skeeter (plain blade) or B: EKA Swede 88 Both around the same price at Hennies...

...I don't know why I said hello like that, as I'm not American?! Actually, I'm originally from Scotland, but live in Hampshire now. (Yup, managed to sneak over Hadrians Wall!) I have very little experience of Bushcraft, and am looking to take up wild camping (within rules and reg's of...

First off, I'm new here (hi!) so if this is in the wrong place please feel free to move it. OK, onto the crux of the question. I've heard that cooking on plain aluminium pots and pans can impart a metallic flavour into some foods which are cooked on them, and wondered if there is a way...

Just wanted to say thanks for the heads up. I was lurking earlier today, and found this thread which has helped a great deal. I'm just starting out on this Bushcraft/camping lark, and needed some basics to get me going, so went to Aldi's and bought: Walking Boots @ £17.99 (seem perfectly...
