Looking for a Guyot Designs 38oz stainless steel bottle (or its Nalgene equivalent). New or used doesn't matter, as long as the bottle and lid are in good order. I've got tons of stuff to swap for, should anyone have a bottle they're willing to part with. Just name what you're looking for, and...

Going on a 2 week bushcraft course to the jungle on Borneo at the end of April. An amazing christmas gift from my lovely girlfriend. However, before leaving to the jungle, I would need some advice regarding footwear. Is "the one and only" thing to wear on my feet the classic jungle boot, seen...

I've been looking at and wanting a Leuku for some time, and I've managed to decide which model I'd like to spend my money on (a Stromeng). Not having any possibilities to actually try out the different sizes, though, I haven't been able to decide which length Leuku would fit my needs best. I'm...

Me and SWMBO are going to India, Rajastan, over Christmas/New Years and are quite exited about it.. Apart from Taj Mahal, what else would you recommend to go see and do? Any recommendations on what to bring? We won't be roughing it, but we'll mainly travel with taxis and public transports and...

I got a set of japanese waterstones (800, 1200 and 6000) for christmas from my (much) better half, but I haven't had a chance to try them out until now. I was never any good at sharpening, so I took good care reading all the tips and tricks I could on the net before I got started (including...

Just something I've been wondering. When putting up a tarp (square) that's got a seam down the centre, does it make more sense to put it up with the seam along the ridge line, or prependicular? And why would one way be better for, say, tarp longeivity or rainproofness (is that a word?)? / Karl

I've found some places with somewhat thicker accessory cord in more subdued colours, but so far I've failed to find any with, say, 2mm thick accessory cords (again in subdued colours). Anyone know of a place on the net where I could buy some? Oh, and I've tried the "search" here on the...

I'm trying to find a bivi bag that fits my needs/wants out there. I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction whara to find one, because my own research has been fruitless so far. What I would like to see is: - A bivi bag large enough to put my camping mattress inside it. -...

Does anyone know where to get Ventile cargo trousers? Or any Ventile trousers with 2 leg pockets at all? / Karl

On my recent paddling holiday in Poland, there was heavy rain on several days. That’s when we had good use of the Tatonka Tarp 2TC we brought along. http://http://intranet.tatonka.com/infosys/infocgi/artinfo1.dll?2461 This is a 3x3m tarp made of Polycotton (a 65/35 cotton/polyester mix)...

On our recent holiday trip to northeast Poland, we went for a weeks paddling along a river. Every night we put up camp on a different place, had a swim and after that we enjoyed the views as we sat eating our supper, chatting away before it was time for bed. It wasn’t the best weather all the...

I've been looking at the Karrimor Sabre 75 for a while now, and feel it would fit my needs (read: wants) quite well. I don't have any shop around here where I can try it out though, and as its a fixed back carrying system, I'm not sure if it would fit my back length. I'm 5 foot 10. Anyone...
