I've got a mint snugpak stratosphere, erected once never slept in. It's just gathering dust here. Before I put it up for sale does anyone want to swap it for an ionosphere? I can take photos if needed but it is as new.

I've been doing a lot of wildlife photography recently and I'm spending long hours, 4-6 usually, sitting still in one spot. I use a home made portable shelter/hide that keeps the wind and rain to a minimum but after a couple of hours my feet start getting cold. Got the rest of my body sorted...

I've bought a bell tent for family camping which we all have taken to nicely. I'd like to add another sleeping bag to my collection, one which is comfortable for me tossing and turning all night. As this is for the car camping outings size and weight are not a real consideration. I've been...

I've been waiting for a woodsman x to arrive but there have been some delays, being impatient I've temporarily got hold of a dd Frontline and went out for my first nights hang. The dd has been tweaked so that there is a continuous loop through both channels and a carabiner onto whoopie then tree...

Im about to move to hammocking and this time of year midges are a big issue at night. I'd normally take a tent for me and my dog to escape the biting sods at night bit I'm loathed to carry the extra weight and volume of it just for the dog. So I'm looking for ideas that are cheap and light. I...

Iast year I had a great spot I used regularly for day camps with the odd overnighter, I knew someone else used it regularly but they too kept it tidy and left no trace, at least to the uninitiated. Unfortunately later in the year it was found by weekend news, and I got sick of tidying up after...

My dog had his 1st tick of the year this morning. Little buggers

I've had a pair of hestra loke gloves for about 5 weeks now, they've had some light use to date and yesterday my little finger popped out the side. On inspection the leather had failed. I took some photos and emailed them over to hestra yesterday, I also copied in the company whom I purchased...

Got myself a cheap basic electric sewing machine and I'm looking for a couple of ideas for projects to learn and develop some skills. I know there are a few people on here that are quite advanced sewing machine users so tips tricks and pitfalls would be really helpful.

My eye was caught by this article from the BBC. I see this commonly in frost weather and was surprised to find someone saying it's rare. Is this more common in my region, West of Scotland, or do you folks see it often too?

I'm looking for suggestions on a 3/4 season sleping bag for a 7 year old. Has anyone got any recommendations, packed size and weight are a consideration as she will have to carry her own gear and I don't want her to lug around a massive sleep system. Saying that I'd probably prefer synthetic for...

It's getting to the time of year when my Mrs is going to ask me what I'd like for Christmas, it's also the time when I think about what to get her. So how's about hearing what you'd like for Christmas and what you might give to your better half :)

I'm looking for a new tent as my current vango 3 man is too big for my needs and too heavy plus it's quite old now (add any justification/reasoning you like here, I just want one). I'm looking for a 2 man jobby for me solo camping and occasionally my daughter. I'll be doing 3-4 seasons in...

I came to this forum through my interest in wildlife photography and it's associated skills. Obviously as most members will know the bushcraft bug is quite addictive and I've spent more time recently in the woods making day camps and fire than taking photographs. Now I've developed some basic...

Can you guys recomended a cup that fits well over a klean kanteen 800ml please.
