    Glass bottomed tankard repair?

    Perhaps not exactly "Bushcraft", but does anyone have any idea how to stop a glass bottomed tankard leaking? It was presented to me about 10 years ago when I was posted away from the unit I was on at the time. It's had regular use since then :beerchug: , but alas, it's started leaking from the...

    A Lucky Shot on the Golf Course!

    Now I'm not a golfer and I think that golf courses are a waste of good land that could be put to better use, but my wife's boss loves bashing a ball around with a ridiculously expensive stick! He also tends to always have a camera on him when he's not at work and a few weeks ago he managed to...

    Poo in the Woods!

    Guys & Gals, I was stooging about in the woods this morning and found some interesting poo! Now, I don't have a Poo fetish or anything like that, but I'd be interested to know what animal (I'm guessing it wasn't human) left the deposits. Both were pretty fresh - not steaming, but very...

    Birchwood Bowl

    Towards the end of my Woodlore Camp Craft course we felled a Birch to provide wood for our personal carving projects. I shared a small log, split lengthwise, with the chap I was sharing a shelter with and after much whittling and chipping away with axe, knife and spoon knife, came up with this...

    Paper Shotgun Cartridges

    Anyone out there collect the old fashioned paper tubed shotgun cartridges? I've picked up three of them, all 12 bore, two marked Jeffrey's of Guildford and one marked Egham Gun Centre. All in good condition, inert having been fired, with the crimped ends folded down again. I tried to list...

    Black coat for the missus

    Guys & Gals, My wife's long-serving, waterproof coat (late 1990's Field & Trek "Porelle") has finally given up the ghost and now leaks like a sieve. Sadly it's long past the stage of repair or reproofing. She's after a full length (long) BLACK Goretex coat for wear when we're out hill...

    Hi Guys and Girls, Quick query: Is the "cargo pocket" on the thigh of the Fjallraven Forester Trousers actually large / deep enough to fit a standard Ordnance Survey map into and still be able to do the pocket flap up? Also, is there a cargo pocket on both thighs, or just one? I like...

    Hi all, I treated myself to a Berghaus Vulcan rucksack and going through all the bits and bobs that came with it I came upon a pair of what I took to be accessory straps. However, there's an accessory strap already attached to every fixing point available! The straps I'm curious about...

    I'm thinking about buying one of these to replace my Vango TBS Micro 100, which I'm now finding a bit too small. The Raid 2 being a 2 person tent and about half the weight of the Vango looks like a good bet. Anyone out there got one / had one and got any comments about them? Yeoman
