Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
I think the pic answers that one. Marvellous for the regions it originated in, light weight, you get a cool breeze through it and it can keep the dust out of your nose and mouth.
Also got bandanas though :)
Doing a cordage making demo (probably almost all Nettle) at a local wildlife reserve on Sunday.
Handling a Bernie Garland 'Little Whittler' blank at the moment.. slow going because I don't have access to power tools but mercifully found a neighbour has a pillar drill to drill out the holes for...
Got mine years ago from Life Support Training Services up in Millom. I don't know if they have a website or still sell them but what I can say about them is something they mentioned on their Expedition skills course years ago, that was to never trust a ceramic filter because you don't know if...

Oh and man do those things bruise your shins. I remember coming down in the snow whilst up in the highlands once and I was grunting through gritted teeth each step of the way... I wasn't all that talkative or friendly on that trip down :)
I hated them but had never had a pair, never liked the looks etc. but I was away on holidays and constantly got sand under the straps of my Tevas and it wore some huge blisters into my feet.
I was SO glad to get a pair of Crocs locally. Very comfortable and without that particular problem.
Yep, I've always heard that Beech can drop it's branches unpredictably.
