If there was anyone considering in taking part in the explorer first aid course that didnt, then you've got to make sure you get on it next time. The last four days spent in the woods have and will be probably one of the most memorable times I have had. Thanks to Wayne especially for being an...

Hey Sam, did you get one of those bottles from ASDA. Any good? Gonna get over to ASDA and grab a few for spares. 2 weeks to go. Pretty excited now. Tested out my Hammock now with My Surplus Basha. Its exactly the same length. Well annoying. Not sure whether to get the DD one as its 20 cms...

Hi Sam, Sorry for the late reply. Have you gaffered up a bottle yet. Yeah had to cut about an inch of my hair after the fire ball. If you do go for the trangia meths bottle the half litre should be fine. It lasts ages as long as you keep the wind off and an extra litre bottle in your sack can...

Hey Sam, that sounds prefect. 2 pockets is great too. Bit more order to the mess. Cheers. Thats really good of you. Haha did you get a meths bottle sorted yet. Didn't go to you New Forest at the weekend. Thought it would be to busy. Went up to bit of a hidden spot me and my friends go to a lot...

Hey Sam how go's it. That sounds awesome. Cheers. don't carry a great deal in it. Few bandages, compression pads, tape, micro pore, elastic stocking, plasters, sling, scalpel, surgical gloves, pain killers, paper clips, safety pins, paper and pencil, cream, lip balm, strei strips, throw away...

Hi Rob, When you paid for the course, was there any attachments with the email from Tony. He sent me a course kit list and instructions. Plus a medical form to be filled out. Have a check if not PM Tony. Take it easy Rob, see you at the course... cant wait Matt

Yeah deffo. Its really great. Going to the new forest on sunday. Gotta work Saturday. Nightmare. Yeah I cant wait to be chilling round the campfire and learning some new skills. Need to give my first aid kit a good tidy up. Its getting a bit tatty. I keep all my bits in a little goretex stuff...

I usually get confused, drink the meths and burn the pop. At least the woman at the shop gives me my 10p back for my return bottle and Ive now made my £10 back. Had to drink alot of meths though. I'm still sticking by my £10 trangia bottle. Maybe its because I got sucked in to buying...

Hi Sam Hows it going. For meths I use a trangia fuel bottle. It's a pain forking out a tenner but before I had that I used to take the bottle the meths came in then end up chucking it in the recycler. I've had my bottle for about 2 years and its still in perfect nick. You have to watch the...

Sam I splashed the cash and got the DD travel hammock £42 but I think its worth it. Quite reasonable compared to some of the competitors. You can have sit in it on the course and check it out. I like the fact you can peg it out on the floor and prop up the mosquito net. Im taking part in...

Cheers for the advice Sam. I'm going to order a DD Hammock today. Not sure which one yet! Maybe ill splash out. Not bought a new piece of kit for a while. Cheers Wayne, I'm not a massive drinker, like the others, but I'll probably bring a few ales and my hip flask. I don't own a Bothy bag, but...

Hi Sam, Haha I'm thinking the same. I Only really use my tent now a days If I'm traveling with someone who hasn't got there own shelter. I have a Golite Hex which is great for trekking because its in 2 stuff sacks and you can share the load. Or if you know its gonna be hammering down you can...
