Thinking of investing in a durable (thinking along the lines of MSR Dromedary or Ortlieb type) water bladder for use in camp. I was wondering what size to get though. For camp use (i.e. drinking, cooking, washing pots, washing body!) how much do people use per day (in a temperate...

Just saw this thought folk might be interesting - designed for Afghanistan basically a modern military Sabre 45. Looks very interesting. A simple 45L model called the "Patrol" and then a more technical 50L. Side pockets are interesting too. See here. Sorry wrong thread - MOD can you...

Found this company while looking for Baker Tents:- www.greenoutdoor.co.uk had a search on the forum but don't think anyone has posted about them yet. Anyone got any of their stuff? Have a look at their Camp Fire Tent. I'm trying to convince myself I don't need one of their Bush Shelters...

Can any one recommend a decent one handed opening knife for £30 or under? It'll be an EDC for an up coming trip overseas hence the low budget as I will undoubtedly loose it or get it nicked at some point! I'd preferably like it to lock and be light enough to carry comfortably in the pocket...

Ok this maybe a bit of a random question but ...... If you are using a hammock in more tropical/hotter climes how do you prevent insects crawling along the tapes/rope to you hammock? I understand that you will be encolsed in a mosquito net so they can't reach you but how would you prevent...

Hi all, Just putting the last coat of varnish on a couple of thumb sticks I harvested at the beginning of last year, one for me and one for my good lady. However, was just wondering about ferrules ...... does anyone know here to get them online? ......... or do I resort to the old...

Does anyone know of a lightweight (150 g/m) merino baselayer that comes in olive green? Looking to replace my HH Lifa baselayer. Going to be used in high energy activities so I need it to be as thin as possible otherwise I'll over heat. I understand Howies used to do one but have since...

Saw this on the BBC website and thought it maybe of some interest:- Link.

........ ok the title says it all really. I've got a decent pair of bins (Nikon Sporters) which are great but recently I've been leaning more and more towards the need for a spotting scope to get that much closer. The tipping point was a few weeks back seeing a family of 3 otters on Loch...

Ok. I have a very nice leather wide brimmed bush hat (similar to the Rogue hats) that my good lady bought for me :) . Now the only problem is that the leather is very very light brown in colour (more so than she was expecting!) ...... very nearly pink :yuck: if you see it in broad daylight...
