The handle on the frying pan is certainly idiotic. I don't know whether to return the set or to chop the handle off and get a pot grabber. I can get the Primus stainless frying pan which is bigger (21cm vs 2 * 17cm) locally for 35€, the Tatonka set was only 20€

Hi ScottE, is this the updated 2019 version with the side panel tie outs? where are you based?

I was looking for a stainless frying pan and found the Tatonka Regular Camp Set locally with 50% discount. I believe the Scout Set is the same pan and bowl without the pot. I picked it up last now and find the handle quite strange. When locked into place, it's lower than the pan so the pan...

So I purchased the Travel100 Trekking trousers and wore them today. I wasn't worried at all while walking off the path looking for firewood, unlike I would be wearing something like a synthetic puffy. I'm pleased overall but we'll see how they hold up.

I appreciate your advice Erbswust. If the Solognac's were available in zip-off, then I'd take those for sure. I can't hike in pants, even as it heads towards 0, and I don't fancy packing a pair of pants. I'll try the Travel100's. I can always patch the knees if I find they soak up too much...

Thanks for the detailed write up Erbswurst, there's a lot to consider. 'The first' being the Travel100 and 'the others' being the Travel500? In what way was the cut unsuitable for you? They actually fit me quite well. I might just go for them, they have the 2 year warranty. I don't like to...

I should have updated my profile, I’m not in the UK but similar weather, just a little drier. Decathlon say that the Travel500 use 190g/sqm fabric. I guess I was just wondering if anyone had handled them and decided if they were suitable for a day in the woods or not

I've had a single wall Klean Kanteen for 4 years now and it's my every day bottle so it's a bit dented. I'm confident that it won't leak after filling it with hot water and putting it inside my sleeping bag, I wouldn't do the same with a supermarket brand.

To start off, I used to spend more time in the mountains than in the forest but lately I've been doing more shorter trips with fires. Most of my gear is lightweight, synthetic and super comfy but obviously doesn't fair well around the fire. I was in Decathlon yesterday and tried on the...

Does anywhere stock the Appkit Viper? Appkit themselves are taking preorders at the moment but I need a head torch in a couple of weeks and they appear to be the best value for money

Surplus and Outdoors have them with side pockets for 39.99 Grade C (i.e not broken) http://www.surplusandoutdoors.com/shop/camping-equipment/rucksacks-bags/berghaus-vulcan-olive-green-cyclops-1093014.html Anywhere better?

Anyone seen any canvas LK70's about? :confused:

Are the lid strap stitched or just threaded through the metal loops? I'm asking as I'd like to replace both with matching ones

Any thoughts on using eyelets under the arms to improve breathe-ability?

I've got a Filson Cover Cloth jacket, I believe they source their fabrics from the same supplier as Barbour; British Millerain. I've also just purchased a matching hood and 24oz wool liner I've heard of (but not seen) people sending their Barbours in to get some moleskin or cord on the cuffs to...

Any info on casting/reeling in? Do you need live bait or could you use flies/plastic worms?

I need some replacement straps for my LK35 pretty sharpish Any good places to get some in the UK?

Cheers, I've just realized I can remove the bits from Field Papers anyway

Also looking for a map of the trails I've managed to generated one from fieldpapers.org but it has a QR Code, the URL and some dots that I assume are to line up the pages While I really like the Field Papers interface, I'd prefer a plain, whole page map

A friend and I are planning to go fly to Oslo-Gardermoen for a few days camping a the end of August We're thinking of getting the train down to Lillestrøm and then walking into Ramstadslottet I've read that the Blåtjern lake is good for fishing but can't find anything on that area regarding...
