I bought a surplus parachute about 15 years ago to use as a group shelter and is used for our Scout group and Forest School however it is getting very tired and in need of replacement. It has been repaired and patched multiple times but the storms last year really took their toll on it and a...

Next year I have a relative visiting Australia and New Zealand and they have offered to bring anything back for me if there is something specific I would like. Now the obvious manufacturers that sprang to mind were Swazi and Swanndri but I really don't need any clothing. I have my eye on...

I've just received my renewal notice but it says you may not need to do anything as auto renewal is in place for full members. Does anyone know how to check this before I pay twice?

I received my membership renewal notice on the 23rd July and paid it immediately however I am no longer able to see the full members area. I tried to pm Tony but apparently I'm over my limit (the difference between none members and members I guess) and even after clearing out a few pms I still...

I've been trying to find a reference or video clip of a quick method I was shown some years ago for removing the bones and vertebrate from fish but I'm struggling. From what I remember it went something like this: Gut the fish Cut around the head behind the gills but not through the vertebrate...

I'm sure there's a lot of people on here who as part of their bushcrafting activities enjoy a good paddle in an open canoe. What I'm not sure though is how many of you are clear as to the legality of the water you are paddling. There has been and on-going campaign in an attempt to clarify the...

I've just finished a training course on influencing and persuading people and part of that course was to put you in the following situation. The aim of the exercise was to work on it as an individual and then to convince people that your conclusions were correct and finally combine your work to...

I am lucky enough to be the proud owner of an Optimus 111 stove which was given to me a few years ago by a neighbour after her husband past away. I have used it quite a bit now but it has developed a leak around where the spindle goes into the main burner casting and after stripping it to...

I managed to catch the Belisarius (Sp) episode from RM extreme survival last night on Dave and even though I have this on DVD I watched anyway. I was a bit surprised however when I suddenly started seeing footage that doesn't appear on the DVD. Has anyone else picked up on this or am I just...

Just came across this piece of advice and thought I'd share it with you all :lmao: If you had bought £1000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth £49.00. With Enron, you would have £16.50 of the original £1,000.00. With Worldcom, you would have less than £5.00 left. If...

Just judging interest in anyone who might like to paddle the Caledonian Canal later this year. I did it a couple of years ago and want to do it again this year and I know several of you have expressed an interest too. The plan is to start at Fort William and finish in either Inverness or...

I'm looking for some hand sanitiser but was wondering what everybody else uses and any good recommendations. Searching the forum doesn't come up with anything specific so what do you use? I would be particularly interested in effectiveness, size of container and value for money (Yorkshireman :D )

I've just posted this on SOTP but thought it might be of interest on here too. New tarp Baker esq. tents from ORCA (Open River Canoe Adventures). http://www.orcadventures.co.uk/orca%20tarps.htm I have seen the early prototypes while on a Voyageur trip in the Knoidart and I can vouch for...

Happy birthday you group-buy meister :You_Rock_

Why is it when I log in and click on 'new posts' I only get maybe 20 or so with no additional pages? If I log out and click 'new posts' I will get multiple pages of them. I've had a look in the User CP but can't see anything obvious.

I was rather looking forward to the hangi at the Moot this year unfortunately I have to come home on Sunday due to work commitments but that gave me an idea. I am having a house warming the following week and thought perhaps I could do my own then. The only problem is getting hold of a munt...

Thought I might run an idea past you guys to see if anyone had thought about it.:thinkerg: Mods - if you see any problems with this feel free to remove. With the cost of fuel rocketing I thought it might be an idea to organise a car share for those people going to the Moot for the same days...

Just thought I'd put up a post to see if anyone is aware of Green Woodworking Courses located in the North of England (Yorkshire ish). I'd like to pay for my dad to go on one of these but I'm struggling to find a great deal.:( I've Googled for them and came up with a couple of possibles...

Happy birthday mate, did you get any more interesting bits of kit to add to the collection? ;)

As the title says. In the early hours of this morning some low life decided they rather liked my Landrover so had away with it. They must have been targeting it as they managed to take it even though it has a removable hidden immobiliser key which I always remove when leaving it. All that was...
