    Fungi

    Dozens of these guys have sprung up in my garden over the last few weeks so I have taken it upon myself to try to identify them. Currently taking a spore print and having a look through my book but if anyone can chime in and help it would be appreciated. Sent from my S7

    Kifaru Zulu full kit plus extras

    Right, it is time for me to pass my Gen 1 Kifaru Zulu to a more deserving owner, I just dont get the opportunity to use it like it you should. I have owned it for approx 6 years and bought it new then. It has been used probably 3 times a year, for camping and a bit of bushcrafty woodsbeercamping...

    Rucksack modifications

    I just got a Hill People Gear Tarahumara bag as a day pack for bimbles in the woods and town. So far it is great, but the design is such that the water bottle pockets intrude into the pack when they are full. I like using NATO water bottles and it is a struggle getting them in and out with a...

    What fur and where from?

    I am jumping on the Swedish smock bandwagon and want to add a fur ruff to the hood. I can only find rabbit for sale in my cursory search, would this be "furry" enough to use on a hood? If not where would be a good place to buy a decent bit of fur from?

    Silvermans repro SAS smock

    I am looking for a cotton smock for bimbling about in this winter and found the above mentioned one as well as the Swedish one. I know that the Swedish is a firm favourite around these parts but the repro SAS one looks pretty good too, main points being that the pocket layout looks better (to my...

    Leather gloves

    I just got a pair of leather gloves to wear at work but they dont fit quite properly. I like gloves to be really tight, i find it hard to do anything that requires dexterity when i am wearing loose ones. Is it possible to shrink them to fit, or should i just try to find some that fit properly...

    WTT knife for bivi bag

    I have an Al Mar SERE 2000 lock knife in pretty good nick that i would like to trade for a green goretex bivi bag (either Brit or Dutch). The knife has been lightly used and sharpened twice, a few scratches on the blade etc but its still very good. The bivi bag should be in very good condition...

    Black soldier 95 gear

    I have found some soldier 95 jackets on epray in plain black. As far as i know these have never been an issue item, so therefore they must be copies, but the seller is adamant they are real. Has there ever been a black version made for the MOD? The reason i ask is that i want a new jacket for...

    Polyester dye?

    I finally got round to dyeing my Soldier 95 combat jacket and i am mightily unimpressed. I used Dylon hand dye in black and it has come out really badly. The DPM still shows through, which i can live with as it is very muted compared to before and has got rid of most of the Rambo effect, but the...

    Waterseal on ripstop?

    I just bought a boonie hat for wearing out in the woods and i want to waterproof it. I have had a read through and a bit of a search and i think waterseal is going to be the best way to do it, particularly as i have a tin in the shed. One thing though, does the smell fade completely? The stuff...

    Kifaru Xray for trade

    I have a almost new (used one weekend) kifaru Xray in foliage green that i would like to swap for a Zulu in the same condition and preferably the same colour. The list prices for these are only $4 part so i think a straight swap is in order.

    Daldrinia concentrica

    I cant find any of this growing anywhere near me despite searching every ash tree for miles. Am i missing something? All i know about it is that it grows on ash, are there any other pointers to finding it?

    Thinking of starting rabbit hunting

    I am currently toying with the idea of starting rabbit hunting, but i am not really sure how to. I live on the coast in Kent and dont really have much to do with farmers and so i am at a bit of a loss as to how to get shooting permission on any land. Also i am not sure what is the best type of...

    A new folding knife

    I am looking for a new locking folding knife for use at work, and as a spare for when i am out in the woods. I want a very secure lock, and a thumbhole instead of a stud as i find them easier with gloves on. The Benchmade Griptillian seems to fit my needs but i am not keen on hollow ground...
