    Who's about in Gloucestershire?

    I'm up in Tewkesbury. Been here about a year, but not had chance to get out anywhere.

    Scrim net scarf...or good old Shemagh??

    I've had both for years. Shemaghs are bulkier but warmer; Face Veils (Scrim scarves) are a little less bulky but not as good as a towel. I suppose it depends on what you want to use it for. But I've used both as towels, cloths, pillows, scarves and head coverings so for me it's what you feel...

    Hammock with bug net recommendations for 6’5”

    DD's are great and I use one of them, I also have a Ticket to the Moon hammock and they seem a bit longer - you can customise them too.

    Floods and Max Water Height

    Are people still taught to walk the route first? Not a great idea when it comes to rivers, but not unachievable either. It used to be a technique taught in the Army and was certainly taught for 'puddles' off road.

    MORA laminated steel with Antler and stacked leather handle

    If you use Tapatalk app and use your phone to upload the photos, the images should show for everyone - I use this method as Flickr doesn't work on my work computer.

    Blatantly nicked from elsewhere (cheers Marc :) )

    I always sign my documents with blue ink. (Always upsets my colleagues as black simply must be used :banghead:) but you can always tell if your signature has been photocopied with blue ink.

    Poncho Woes

    NOTE: I forgot to mention this method is for the inside surface of a day-sack/pouch/poncho. I have seen a video in Youtube which shows you how to re-proof a poncho with silicon solution (made from Clear PVC mastic from a DIY store and white spirit). It is a really simple process and works too...

    Hi any old soldiers about? "Shellscrape" question

    I'd be interested to see where this was (I couldn't find it anywhere). Have you got the link?

    Hello

    Welcome to the family. There are few people around Durham and up towards the Toon (I still pop up to Bishop area occasionally).

    hard wearing wellies that will last

    Speaking as a tubby chap with big calves, are there any decent full length wellies out there which would fit my@ 53cm and have enough room to tuck my trousers in?

    Out of Date Flare's?

    I believe the Bomb Disposal guys use the bridge over the River Trent near Nottingham (No Duff).

    Ridge line and Prusik knot

    I also seem to remember reading somewhere that it was better to use a smaller diameter cord for prusik knots than the ridge line cord diameter as it grips better. Not sure if this is the case as I've always just used paracord, although I did toy with the idea of using dyneema for the ridge...

    Would this invalidate their lifetime guarantee?? Looks good though.

    What’s stopping you?

    I move every two years with work (Army) so find it hard to make the connections and find places to go and enjoy the woods. I'd love to hammock and have a fire more but finding land or woods is damn near impossible. When I lived in Bicester, I went down the local MOD training area, as the...

    MTP MK2 Issue gaiters... handed?

    Are they the ones which have 'touch and close' on them and does that go down the front? If they are the ones I am thinking of, I'm not sure they have a left and right as the only difference is the placing of the buckle on the strap underneath, but that should not affect their use...
