    Reduced Combined Sleeping Kit

    I love my 3/4 season sleeping bag (oex Roam 400) but its too bulky too take quite often even with the compression straps. What I was thinking was buying a cheap 10 -15 deg comfort bag and combining it with my existing Snugpak 15 comfort jungle blanket. What I'm not sure of is what this get me...

    Fast Growing Grass Seed

    Ok. Strange one this but has anyone come across a fast growing shady tolerant grass seed? Even though the garden is south facing, my lawn descends about three foot further down from the decking area and is in shade at the bottom until high summer. Also, the previous owners had demolished the...

    Cheap Air Rifle To Start Off With

    Following on from TeeDee's post regarding pistols and Broch's advice to start a new thread, I'm interested in an air rifle but not expensive to start out on plinking. We do have a good angler/gun shop quite locally but too expensive for my tastes. Any suggestions? Looking at around under the...

    Crown Estate Beaches in Wales

    Bit of a niche subject to talk about but I was surprised by this as it came up on a google recommendation search but seeing as this is my local beach and it used to be the beach for the Summer Bushmoot at Candelston down from the dunes, I didnt realise that Newton beach was owned by the Crown...

    Ridge Line Material

    Cant see anything posted before regarding this but please someone stick me onto an existing thread if it already exists. I've always used paracord for a ridge line for the tarp but notice it does have a tendency to droop over time. I do have a spool of 36 guage bank line at breaking strain of...

    Camping Gaz Lantern 270 Plus Thread Cartridge

    Anybody know for a suitable alternative for a Camping Gaz 270 Plus Threaded cartridge that would fit quite an oldish Camping Gaz lantern that has the pull down handles on the side and and a base on it to keep in place. I cant find one anywhere. Or would it be ok just to use a normal cartridge...

    New Backpack

    I know this has been done to death but I'm looking for a new backpack for overnighters. Currently have a Pentegan Leon (too small even with Molle pouches) and a Berghaus 90ltr pack (too big). Not looking to spend more than around 50-60. Anyone had any experience with the Decathalon rucksacks or...

    Tarp Tent Configuration with Door

    Hi all, Has anyone managed to fix a poncho to the front of 3x3 tarp tent configuration in order to give it some type of doorway? Too wet/cold to actually go out out and try it for myself at the moment but I'm looking at the DD tarp and Helikon Tex poncho which is my existing kit. Steve

    Hi all

    Hi, Like many a long time lurker on this forum so thought about time I should show my face. Been a car camper with 4 man tent for most of my life but have been slowly acquiring various bushcraft/wild camping gear over the last few years but have yet to put it to the test. Always picked up...
