    Tarred twine / bankline

    Got mine from Amazon a couple of years ago, used mostly on my ridgeline to keep tarp stretched. Tend to use paracord for most things like lashings etc. Have also used Bank line in the garden for bamboo wigwams for plants as it grips well and doesn't rot

    The Science of Water

    Have done the same in Wales and in Scotland years ago when I was in the Military, we just dropped a sterilising tablet in if we weren't sure.

    Hultafors Overstrike Guard Wanted

    First thing I ever made in leather for mine, I used 2mm paracord for the lacing, put the leather on wet to get stretch and when it dried it shrunk and is nice and tight.

    The Science of Water

    Cracking article, I personally use a MSR Miniworks filter and back up by either chemical and or boiling especially when on a 72 hr fishing session in a wood at the side of one of our club lakes where humping gallons of water is not real an option for an old git like me. I also have various back...
