Swapped :)

I've got a DPM Long Back British Army Bergen for trade. Theres no frame in it (it's two prong style if you need to know) Not after anything specific, but i'm always a fan of pouches and stoves (could do with some kind of meths/trangia burner) Let me know if your interested

I can't help but feel sometimes people camping with everything but the kitchen sink (and sometimes they've brought that as well !) have rather missed the point of camping. Yes i'd have to agree that whilst any fool can be uncomfortable, that doesn't mean you need to trawl 2 cars with you to be...

cheers for the answers guys, handy to know, mainly some ideas i'd simply not thought about!!

Having not turned much up on the search (except a bevy of lovely knives with lanyard pins in ;)) Do many people use a knife lanyard? What is the lanyards purpose? Personally I carry my Frosts Mora on a belt sheath, was thinking about putting a long-ish lanyard on with a trigger clip at...

Thanks for the tips and advice, wish i'd known some before i started the Billy :) but should help with the stove, looks like the main ingredient is patience! that a saying i love "think twice, act once" heres a couple of pics of the Billy Drilled Billy with Chain Billy with Brass Handle

Having been inspired by several stoves i've seen here (Wayland/Addo/SteveSteve/Lostagain) I decided to have a crack at making one myself :) Small SS Tin from Morrisons for the Billy £2.99 (I Believe this is what Wayland uses for his stove) Cuttlery Container/Drainer from TX Maxx for the...

Yeah it's def Cherry Laurel, i split one of the fruit open..one large stone :) Cheers for the help, although i now have to go forage for other berries and fruits! i was hoping i could do something with these

Hi Guys, noticed several of these bushes/Shrubs in the back yard today with berries on, Just wondered if anyone can help me ID them. I've had a look around the net and I've come up with Common(Purging) Buckthorn as an answer, although i've not done much if any plant ID in the past, was...

Sorry double post

Pretty much echoing what's already been said here. First night I spent in a Bivi/Under a tarp is unforgettable, i haven't looked back since, in fact in the last 8 years since i started using a tarp I've hardly ever used a tent, just so much more versitility offered by a tarp. Case in Point i...

If you want them, PM me, I'm covering the postage so don't worry about that. I just hate throwing something away when i'm sure someone else will take them :)

I have two packs of them, I'm really not keen (i prefer Browns and Pate....yes i know, I'm odd) Long and short, anyone want them? seems silly to just bin them

i really must read what i write before posting :)

i must admit i've never had any problems with my bag at all, i was lucky enough to be given one of the really big ones though, I'm 5'9" 48" chest and with my feet touching the bottom my head dissapears a few inches below the top of the zip!!! and the thing is so warm that i can't have it zipped...

This is exactly what i did for my first ever tarp. Using a pack of eyelets like toddy linked to in his reply, just added them to the IPK at each corner then added 2 more to each long side at 1/3 distance from each end, then i added one at the mid point of the short sides. makes a perfectly...

The newer bag is synthetic yes, it is warmer however it is a fair bit larger than the old 58 patt when packed, if i happen to be carrying that (winter stuff only, to warm for Summer IMO) the i'm using a 120 British Bergan to carry it in

ahhh good old Oatmeal Blocks, couldn't agree more, best in the morning with a cup of tea :) Although i love biscuits brown and the Pate or Cheese possesed (which you don't seem to get anymore), not personally fan of Biscuits fruit, but then again i also love green boilies. And they can't get...

Nice find ! if it's anything like the pelican i have, it will be tough as old boots. FYI i tossed my pelican out of a third storey window to test it's (in)destructable-ness, and yup it's near enough bombproof

like has already been said, good when not wet, keep care of it and it'll keep care of you. I found it to be most comfy even in cold weather, i was even lucky enough to get a Long version :) only reason i got rid of mine cause i went to the newer 90 patt bag (also long as is HUUUUUUUGE!) only...
