Hello everyone I am going walking in Scotland and Wales later this year and I need a good GPS unit with some clear mapping maybe O/S and I wondered if anyone has used these before for walking, and opinions on the best one would be useful in helping me choose. Cheers..

Hi There I always take a kukri with me, the kuk does all the heavy work, chopping hammering, making shelters etc and the karda in the back of it does the same work as a normal fixed blade, shaving wood, making feathersticks,cutting up the food, all the usual stuff.

Hi All I purchased the Samsung B2100 earlier this week from prepaymania, OMG, I rang them and ordered on the phone to avoid any problems, well the guy I spoke to charged me the wrong price to start with, then appologised and said he had cancelled that order and started again, this time the...

Hi There I have the Hennesy explorer deluxe assym and I have used it in for at least 4 years in all weathers down to about -7 I use a fleece blanket in the bottom of it and put the sleeping bag on that, as for waterproofness, the worst weather was really heavy rain from Friday morning till...

Please put me down for one, I feel a need coming on

I go out on my own and with groups and always take a Ghillie kettle, it cooks small meals and boils water for all of us. (never leave home without it)

Hi There Buffalo horn is only compressed hair the same as our finger nails, I have lots of kukri's and most have horn handles and I use Johnsons baby oil on them. Give the handle several coats and it should soak in and protect the horn, when mine stop absorbing the oil I polish them up and...

HI There I have had a Hennessy explorer assym deluxe for about 4-5 years, I use it about twice every month for the weekend and sometimes long weekends, I weigh about 16 and a half stone and it is fantastic. it has had a helluva lot of use. At least 20 of my friends have also bought a hennessy...

I think some of you must have a different FFormat to me, mine is removable and is a piece of semi flexible soft board stuff about 10-12 inches wide and 18-20 inches long. Maybe they have updated the stuff I don't know! Cheers anyway

Hi there Has anyone got a Karrimor sabre 45 and if so how do you conform the F format internal frame to fit your back, or does it not matter that much? Thanks for any comments.

Hi out there Does anyone know if you can get Fjallraven Forester Trousers in a size 44 waist, need a pair of trousers and thought these might fit the bill. Cheers.

Hi Guy's I popped into Holland and barrett today and looked around and they have pitrok deodourant in the crystal push up at £1-99 (over £6-00 in Boots) I have used mine for over 2 years (same stick) and it is still going strong and works better than anything I have used before. It's natural so...

HI Guys Wheres the cheapest place to get meths from at the moment, I am giong away at the weekend and just need a bottle or 2. Thanx in advance

Here is what I use, a Gillie kettle, it boils all the water we need and does the cooking as well (big enough for 2 but a bit of a push for 4)

Must aggree with sandbag47 I bought a gillie in the group buy and have used it every weekend since not just for boiling water but I do all my cooking on it, sometimes for 4 of us although it is a bit awkward for all of us, the quality is great and they simply work well in all conditions. If...

Sandbag47 you must be nuts thinking of another group buy, all that hassle, all that looking for the right price, all that money hassle, but since your asking I have used a silicone backed reindeer hide for the last 5 years and it gets 12 out of 10 for me it is so warm and thick, I use it to...

Hi There The notch at the base of the kukri is called a kaudi and it represents the 3 hindu gods "Brammah", Shiva" and Vishnu. It does stop fluid running down onto the handle and it is also very good as a nail puller and I have seen Gurkha's use it for this, if you want to know more about...
