I have a large canvas tent can't remember the exact dimensions but must be 8ft by 10ft. This tent was an ex british army tent and has been used extensively with quite a bit of repair work. It does seem to be in good order although I have not had it out for a few years so there could be some...

Thanks for all your reply's. :thanks: Just to reiterate I have no intention of eating the leaves as I know they are toxic, I just thought it was a big leaf that could be used to protect food from burning in the fire. I will definately give Burdock leaves a try. Are there any other...

I know these are poisenous in large enough quantities but can they be used to wrap food in for protection when cooking over an open fire? If not what leaves can be used for this? Thanks in advance for any advice, ASH

Have you had a look at the Alpkit Gourdon? It comes in 20/25/30 ltr versions and is waterproof. I have a 30ltr bag which is great for a daysack or overnight trips. This is a very simple bag no frills but very cheap £22.50 for the 30ltr. I have no connection just a satisfied customer...

I would just like to add a few comments to this lively thread! There are many "systems" which are well known and understood by scientists that cause major climate change. For example: -The effect of the Sun and it's rythmical cycles -The ocean currents and changes in salinaty...

I have read this thread with interest, initially because I had a spare rucksack (60L) that I no longer use, but I am not sure what you mean by "Heavy". I understand from experience some camping gear/clothing can be bulky especially for winter trips or if carrying a lot of food. My question...

I am in cheltenham, but I used to live in Hereford. Hopefully I will be getting over that way in the new year for walks in the Brecons as part of my training for the TGO. I have had a few dabbles on the Wye in the past would be up for that too. ASH

Hello to all again. I've just had a scan through these messages and noticed a "Podcast Bob" would that be the prolific podcaster of backpacking light fame? If so I would love to pick your brains regarding TGO Challenge and all things BPL. Is anyone up for a walk and a pint the...

Thanks folks! Has anyone used a tarp & bivvy in scotland? If so what configurations are best for wind resistence?

I have been given a place on the TGO Challenge 2009 (Coast to coast across scotland) does anyone have any advice/tips? Is anyone else doing this? All advice is welcome including which wisky to take!!!;)

Hello everyone, finally got my act together and back on this website. I know I started this thread and so far apart from a very enjoyable couple of pints with Dave/Luke & Jinx no real bushcrafting has taken place. Well what to do next? Organising events is never easy and was thinking it...

Luke, I did turn up to the Fostons Ash on Sunday but didn't see you about, so went for a wonder anyway. You said you might get called away so I assumed that is what happened. Hopefully we will meet up for a mooch round that wood of yours soon. I could possibly do a monday evening, depending...

whats the plan? Pm me with details. I will be out tonight so i will pick up message & meet you in tmrow.
