I don't know why this just popped into my head today...... I know how to make fire in a variety of ways, but I'm curious as to how long it takes others to prep and get a fire going? Roughly speaking from "this looks like a nice spot" to "right lets get the kettle on" I can take my time...

Just found out about this today, for anyone interested Uncle Ray is at Harrogate on his latest tour in October. Makes a nice change from fighting our way into Leeds. http://www.harrogatetheatre.co.uk/whats-on/Ray-Mears-Born-to-Go-Wild

Howdy folks I realise that there are a lot of talented people on here who are gourmet outdoor cooks but some of the time I just enjoy taking a freeze drird meal along with me for ease. I used to use outdoorgrub and really enjoyed the Real Turmat brand out of all that I had tried. They are...

Tried to get some shots of Blue Tits and Starlings taking a bath today.....nope nature didn't want to play. Did have some common hedge sparrows attacking the bread my missis had put out. One came in with a fly of some description in their beak, grabbed a bit of bread and flew off. Nice little...

Evening peeps I'm in the market for a new stove and came across this website. http://www.completeoutdoors.co.uk/Camping-Equipment/Camping-Stoves/Multifuel-Stoves Prices are way cheaper than most other sites which automatically set off the warning bells that "If it seems too good to be true...

Ok so i know what it is and how to work it out, my questions is though which focal length do i use? I shoot on a Nikon D300. One of my main lenses is the 24-70 f2.8. On my camera with the APC sensor that makes it closer to 36-105mm. So when i'm looking at charts do i take the distance from 24mm...

Took a bimble up to Bolton Abbey and the Strid the other day. After a week with some heavy rain it was in good form I also had some new toys to play with including the Lee "Big stopper", a ten stop ND filter that gives some funky effects (it looks like a welders mask!) So if at f22 my...

Anyone else have this problem? I've put some up here today and i notice again when i post to any forum from photobucket they look soft. They aren't, i use a nikon 24-70 f2.8 which is the sharpest lens i have ever used! After any cropping or playing in photoshop i save them as quality 6 (in...

OK so i hit the big 40 this year So i am thinking of treating myself to a high end bit of glass to go with my Nikon D300. My thoughts so far are the 17-55 f2.8 DX lens http://www.wexphotographic.com/buy-nikon-17-55mm-f2-8-g-dx-af-s-if-ed-lens/p1001800 or the 24-70 f2.8...

Can anyone point me in the direction of the best place to get spares from for the Coleman Duel Fuel Stove (424) My boss has one and it's leaking somewhere around the valve and generator assembly (he thinks) probably just a seal or something but there seems to be a massive amount of variation...

So we moved house about a month ago to a fully refurbed farmhouse. Plenty of room and gorgeous location! After the initial madness had worn off we started to get to know our new neighbours, when i had found most of my camera stuff i set up the tripod and waited....... not bad for 1/6th of a...

So i have books on identifying mushroom, birds, bugs and lichens but i would like one for trees as well. I don't know my tree's as well as i should and i've just moved into a new house with some very interesting looking trees with lovely bark and i have no idea what they are! Any...

One of these days one of these damn birds will land near to me at a sensible distance and hour with good light conditions so i am not trying to keep a 750mm lens steady and having to use 3200ISO to get a reasonable shutter speed!!!

Well i couldn't resist it tonight, nearly full moon fire in the woods (landlords guys doing work in there) i just had to have a bimble up the track with my camera......

Found this cute little chap wandering around the grounds of Harewood house yesterday!

Can the collective assist? i am looking for a large mozzie/midge headnet that can be worn over my Rouge hat. Good quality is essential of course, i had tried a few and been very disappointed with the size of them, the last i tried was nothing more than a net stuff sack that squashed my nose...

So after a lot tweaking, this is my bushcraft setup In short some of you may remember that Heinnie's were flogging off some machetes that had surface pitting on them. I figured it may make a good project, so got a number2....(ooeerr!) So thanks to a lack of tools a very talented friend from a...

A good spot by my dear wife in the garden. Hidden behind a tree to start with but after about 15 mins of watching he/she was obliging enough to move to a better location A little soft even after sharpening but i was at 140th at f6.3 and ISO3200

I normally use a Sabre 45 with side pockets (if needed) when i am out on my travels. While i am a bit of a fair weather bushcrafter i think it might be an idea to have a bit more protection. I see Lakeland have Karrimor dry bags at a very reasonable price. Just how waterproof are they...
