Mine still gets a lot of use as a shooting mat and dragging deer in it. I'd love DD to take the exact design and make it in their heavy duty material... Might write to them [emoji6]

I love my 58 but I want one that's properly waterproof. My first shelter that traveled with me for 4 years [emoji16] I find it works pretty well as a tarp but even with different proofing sprays and the WD40 trick I haven't found it to be convincingly waterproof as a poncho in prolonged rain...
My DD Hammocks poncho is a bit leaky at the neck after a quite a few years of service. I was a fan, though I would have liked it a little wider to make it a better lean-to shelter and simpler around the neck.
What other options are out there at the moment?
I want something tough, big enough to...
Hi, I'd like to know what cordage you all find works best for bow drill friction fires.
I've used paracord which is tough but I find it slips a bit, especially when it's been used a few times.
I tried builders cord (brick line) which seemed to grip pretty well but broke after extended use.
I'm...
Thanks for all the previous replies. I bought some 20lb line, a 28g Dexter wedge (to weight it or just for some casting by itself), tinsel rigs, and some barrel snaps size 4. Have got hold of a telescopic rid too. I'll let you know how I get on...
Ok, last couple of questions... I'm going to pop down to a tackle shop later this morning :) What weight/type of line, what hooks, and to I need to weight the line of it's trailing 10 or so behind the canoe.
I'm not too sure. I guess I was imagining no more than 300 yards but I'll probably try and meet up with more experienced canoe/kayak folk when I'm a bit more confident and follow their lead. That's probably still 6 months away yet. I'm not terribly comfortable knowing that I can't simply roll a...
Thank you all for your replies - that's really helpful.
Can I ask those who mentioned it, do you literally mean tinsel as in Christmas decoration tinsel?
Also, should I weight the line to get it away from the surface?
Sorry for the ignorance of these questions - completely new to this, but...
Hi, I was wondering if anyone could suggest a simple and effective way to catch fish whilst canoeing... I'm not planning on stopping to fish, I'm just thinking of simply tying a line onto the back of the canoe as I paddle. I know nothing about fishing apart from the fact that they're tasty and...
Looks amazing. I walked the Haute Route years ago (around 2004 I think) and I'd love to go back! I didn't walk as far as you did though...
Looking at your photos made my feet itch!
Can you copy and paste the kit list for those who can't spare 30 mins for the kit video?
I'm after a simple but delicious bannock recipe.
It's going to make a couple of breakfasts (with sultanas and honey available to augment the mixture) and then another batch (with some herbs etc) to compliment a nice venison stew.
I'm planning to cook it wrapped around a stick.
I've cooked...
I'm sure you'll return the favour. A couple of years ago I was literally asking on here how to force a patina on a knife. I'd never heard of it either. You'll learn a lot on here. I mainly use forums to ask questions still...
You should Google it (there are loads of ways to do this) but I just clean the knife (so no rust, no dirt, no oil or grease) (clean, then wipe it down with some alcohol on a rag to make sure there is no grease left) then I really thinly rub on mustard or brown sauce (there are a hundred things...
Good man. I just scrub rusty knives with a Brillo pad and washing up liquid. It does leave marks and maybe a stain where the rust was, but that doesn't bother me at all. I have no idea about your experience in all this, (and I'm no expert, especially compared with some people on this forum) but...
Because I wanted to see how they work, I've just started using smooth flat stones from nearby stream beds. (YouTube has some good videos on it...)
It takes a bit of searching for the right stone, but they work amazingly well, and you can even feel which ones will be best for rough work, all the...
