I can see how it happened now, hindsight is a wonderful thing. First I found bushcraftUK. Discussions in this kit forum prompted me to buy some kit. Quite a bit of kit really. I decided that most of my hill-walking kit wasnt appropriate for bushcraft use. I bought new stuff. Lots of it was...

I had a moment of weakness whilst I was in the Penrith Survival shop and found myself the proud owner of a Buffalo 4 season outer, inner and thermaliner :rolleyes: I've owned a Special 6 shirt for years and love it to bits. Its had more use than just about any bit of outdoor kit that I own...

I was wondering if anyone here has had experience of gear bought from a company called Brenig. http://www.brenig.co.uk/item9.htm They seem sell a pile/pertex sleeping bag outer for £50 and a jacket for £59. Prices that compare well to both Buffalo and Montane. If the quality is ok then...

After years of carrying various multi-tools and SAK's I finally reached the conclusion that most of the time they were used it was for the primary blade. A blade that was invariably too small, difficult to handle, not very strong (I've snapped 2 leatherman micra blades) and most importantly not...

Ok folks, heres my question. My lovely new Grohmann knife arrived this morning (Cheers Tomtom!) and I see it comes factory sharpened with a small secondary bevel. The included instructions advise that this secondary bevel is maintained as it increases the working life of the edge. This seems to...

I've had one of these cooking units tucked away in my (ever expanding) collection of kit for a while. I was attracted by the compact looking package. A water bottle, mug, cooking pot and cooker all neatly stacked in a side pocket or pouch. I do feel that its let down by its recommended fuel...

Does anyone know of a source (online or otherwise) of the 500ml or 1 litre bottles of Greenheat gel. I know that in the past these have been flogged fairly cheaply by some supermarkets but I cant spot 'em in any of my local shops. I have googled for about an hour but no luck there either as I...

OK, my first basha is in the post. Its 8'x6' with what appear to be lots of tie-on points and grommets round the edge. Now here's the problem...... I'm quite an experienced camper but have always placed a lot of faith in a good quality tent. To be perfectly honest I am a wee bit nervous at the...
