I've got one. I use it with a Thermarest 3/4 mat, groundsheet and a silk liner. I'd agree with the comments above by and large. Its a good deal for a light bag, quite warm (I've used mine in Spring and last Autumn - I find it too warm in Summer). I'd recommend it within those limitations. Most...

Think I must have struck lucky with my Force Ten. I think I don't get problems because a) the groundsheet is detachable which means there is always an air flow at ground level and b) at the top of both doors you can leave the zips undone but completely covered by a protective cover which gives...

There is a brand called Pour and Store which is very good and reuseable. About £1 for 8

I have a Force Ten Race tent - single skin, detachable groundsheet, weighs under 1kg. Never had an issue with condensation or rain ingress. If only it wasn't orange it would be perfect!

If you use an OS Map you don't have to worry about the variation. Set the map so mag north is the same as grid north then take bearings as normal. Mathematicians call it a linear transformation!

I have used the bivvy bag for over a year and it is fine. Light at 366grams, breathable and good waterproofing. I found a site once that was dedicated to bivvy bags (something like bivvybags.co.uk) which reckoned they are a top buy. Anyhow, I'm happy with mine so I thought I'd post the info for...

Loughborough branch has trekmates bivvy bags at 19.99, trekmates expedition hammocks at 12.99 plus fleece sleeping bag liners and mossie nets. Hope this is useful info

I'd like to come on this but not sure yet. I'll let you know when I know more

Can't beat indoor forages :-)

And I thought I was the only one who loaded up from hotels! And cafes, pubs and so forth lol

For quality I use a Canon G9 12 mp, good zoom, raw format, almost as good as a SLR - all modes inc manual, etc. For lightweight I have a Nikon S220 10mp, reasonable zoom, exposure compensation so can shoot HDR, only jpg format, good battery life Not sure about charging from USB though

Thanks for the info - very interesting

I live in North Leicestershire (Loughborough) and I'm interested in attending. Please keep me posted

Hi Three queries in one! First: are there any groups in the East Mids who are into bushcraft/wild camping? Second, I'm interested in doing some more bushcraft and/or wild camping. I'm pretty experienced in camping and hiking. I tend to be on the ultralite side of things. I've also recently...

How do I cope. I don't carry anything I don't need and carry minature versions of what I do need. E.g. a Leatherman Micro does for most repairs (don't need can openers or big blades to build shelters). Frogg Togg Waterproofs, etc

I have 3 Vics: one called a Camper which I have had for at least 20 years and is still going strong and in very good nick & sharp. The Camper has the usual 2 blades, bottle & can openers and a saw. Nice and light, does the job for me as a knife to carry all the time and on short trips in the...
