I used one of these recently - it was OK but the filter does not fit snugly so it is a bit gritty - but did the job!! James

ahhhhh - was just reminiscing as I did mine this time last year ..... have a great time! - it is worth the wait! James

IMHO After several thorough dousings with plenty of water..... burnt remains (if there are any) are scattered - larger pieces left standing char side up (spread around through) more dousing onto the fire pit and dig in a few inches with a stick - more dousing to check that roots etc are...

I did the course in July and support the recommendations. I think Phil will probably be leading by now - he is excellent - knowlede combined with humour - a powerful tool. while there are lots of things to do it is a more measured pace than other courses - a chance to get deeper into the...

Gloves - well you should be able to do it without them.......but wish I had had them :) Camp chair - I would not take this - much better to sit on a spare fleece etc - i did this for the camp craft course and had no problems. the Svante Djarv knives are a league apart from the frosts - did...

looking around for shirts I bought the Ch BG Nosquito Laredo Long-Sleeved Shirt and Nosquito Lite Long-Sleeved Shirt - liking everything but the logo. Tried picking it off - disaster Then I tried sewing 10mm black elastic tape over the logo - and hey presto a neat and useful modification -...

I will do when I work out how to post pictures but it is basically a banock - but without the animal fat half brown flour, half white flour, baking powder (which has baking soda and cream of tartar) to the manufacturer's instructions (from memory 4 tsp per 240gms) plus some salt. I dry...

Hi Surrey Yeoman (and sandbender - a journeyman reunion!) Just done the camp craft - great experience - you should enjoy it NO need to take your own tarp Take some decent food - I took proper food - everyone else was rehydrating unidentifiable 'stuff' - there is enough time to feed...

Just bought one of these as I was looking for a tough outdoors smock. Got XL which was too much - they swapped it no Questions or postal charge for a Large which is much better. Have not used it yet - due to in 2 weeks so can't vouch for water proofness, but feels roomy and a good fit (I am...

Who would trust a skinny survival expert? Actually - when you meet RM he never claims to be a 'survival' expert - he is fascinated by how indigenous peoples use the land - and most of his UK stuff is historic research into how UK people must have survived. Some stuff he brings up to date...

The people who got the most out of it put the most into it - I guess that goes without saying! Get excited - I would hazard to say that it is the most lifechanging of events! You are in good hands - fantastic instructers There are NO shortcuts! I think the only really serious...

i have no conection to woodlore or RM....... It is a strange phenomenon that knocks Ray for having a commercial side to his activities to supply equipment. There are several ypes of kit on his site - woodlore BRANDED -RM DEVELOPED - and standard kit. Whenever I have purchased standard kit...

My thoughts exactly and I have asked. It is the Woodlore campcraft course .... and the reason I am a bit undecided is that I have done a few courses before (fundamental, journeyman etc) none of which used a stove! .... so I am a bit green in that department and need to find out if I can light a...

Thanks for those - so is it definately Gas then hex over a meths driven penny stove? I used to use the hex ones in the army ... great for a brew! but wondered if the penny stove was any good - I think I read 9 mins for 500Ml of water, which is quite slow? Thanks James

I am off in a month on a course that is self catered and have not done this before (the kit list includes a stove - whereas I have only ever used open fire before). Anyone have any advice .... I have looked at the jetboil and larger pan version and am concerned that the pans cannot be used...

guessed as much sadly most of the weight loss (4.5 kilos!) has crept back on :) Looking for the next adventure in the woods! Hope you are keeping well. James
