Cheers for the input guys. I reckon I'll buy one out there and just try my luck with bringing it home. If I get one with a blade of 3" or slightly under I reckon I't be OK. Cheers Will! Can't wait for the trip!

A hand granade!? Haha. Bloody hell!

Thanks for the replies! I will be travelling by Eurostar, and the countries I will be visiting are France and Switzerland. That's my biggest worry, going down with a decent knife and have it taken off me. Might just buy a cheaper one with a smaller blade, like the Camper model or...

Hi, I'm trekking through the Alps for a month, and obviously need a knife. I was wondering whether anyone knew the blade limit I can legalls het through customs ? I will probably just take my Victorinox Forester if poss, as I'll need a couple of the tools as well as the knife. The rules and...

Anyone dealt with these guys before? http://www.pennineoutdoor.co.uk/haberdashery/waterproof-zips

Hi all. I have a jacket I bought on my travels a few years ago, but unfortunately the zip has gone on it. I have been looking for ages to try and find somewhere that sell/makes those kind of zips. Here is what I mean...

That looks awesome!!

Nice one! Where about's in the big City are you?

Cheers guys!

Me and a mate managed to get out over the weekend just gone. Was awesome! The views were stunning, and the snowdrifts up in the dales were incredible. Got the car stuck twice but we were left un-phased... Managed to get set up to a nice location in a wood. Snow wasn't too deep insde...

Good call!

Cheers for the recomendations! I have been keeping my eye out for Army suplus boots for a while actually. There is a stall in Leeds Kirkgate Market that usually has a pair in. Might try them on next time I'm in the area if the size is right and they don't look battered. J

Hi all. I am in need of some new walking boots. I would be very grateful if anyone could recommend some to me. I am keen to go for a leather pair this time, purely for their waterproof abilities. Money is a bit tight at the mo, but I'd want to spend around £50 or there abouts. Would...

I thought I'd treat myself to a new pot, so I went for a 12cm Zebra Billy. Excellent pot as I'm sure you're all aware. Cooked a rather tasty beef stew on our camp over the weekend. Alas, it wasn't this shiny by the end of the trip!!

My previous knife was a Nieto sheath knife, with a 3.5" blade. Think it cost me around £20, back when you could buy knives from Ebay. It was a cracking little knife for the money. Was good for skinning & bushcraft and even used it in the kitchen as it was far superior to any kitchen knife I...
