Am I right in thinking these are Worcester berries? Growing at the bottom of my garden... If so, what are they good for?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-18456812 I seem to remember reading a thread about this when the boy was found. Interesting to read its been identified as a hoax Sent from my HTC Sensation using Tapatalk

I've just gone and torn a bloody great hole in my most recent purchase - a Rab generator smock. the fabric is pertex quantum, although ripstop it's fairly delicate. I should have known better than to wear it as a casual jacket. Anyway, I only paid £50 for it second hand on ebay, so I don't...

Sun was out this morning, so I popped onto Dartmoor for a couple of hours. Just went around Sharpitor, Leather Tor and Burrator area. Photos were taken with my phone, so aren't the best. Full set can be seen here http://www.flickr.com/photos/54262553@N02/sets/72157629384950085/show/ ,but here's...

On a number of other forums, I've seen a feature that allows you to be notified when someone quotes one of your posts. This is usually a section on the right hand side of the page with a link to the last few posts you were quoted on. I'm not sure of the capabilities this forum has to implement...

I was just packing my bag for a Dartmoor mountain biking trip tomorrow, when I suddenly thought of something. Filling a small drybag up with your food and then blow it up with air. release enough of the air to roll the lid down a few times and seal it. The dry bag won't compress enough to squash...

Hi all, Hopefully this will be OK with the mods, if not then I apologise. For my final year dissertation, I am researching the legal and ethical responsibilities of Facebook gathering personal information for profit, and the effect it has on consumers. For this study, I have created a short...

so I left my SAK when I went on holiday in August and it ended up getting sand inside from my bag. What's the best way to clean it? I've tried opening all the tools and wiping inside with a cloth, but there is still some sand stuck in the mechanism. I thought of just using rinsing out with...

I'm in the market for a new waterproof jacket and I'm looking for a few suggestions as I'm not sure where to start. I will be using it for hill walking/hiking, rock climbing (so needs to be helmet compatible) and scrambling. This will be mainly for bad weather use in the autumn/winter or...

So I've made a basic pop can stove, but I've heard that putting fibreglass insulation inside can improve it's performance. Unfortunately, I don't have an attic with the stuff in it, so I can't pinch a bit from there. Does anyone have a handful that they could spare? Or know of somewhere I can...

Hi All, Got a load of stuff up for swap, but first of all, this is what I'm after: Titanium Mug, needs to be over 700ml capacity, preferably with a lid. Something like the alpkit MyTiMug. Titanium Tent pegs (the 6g ones, not the V stakes), need 6-10 of these Lighter dry bags, preferably an 8L...

I could have sworn that the Market place section was above 'Off Topic'. Am I going mental, or have they been moved? Just Curious :)

I can't seem to fill a Camelback all the way to the top. Since the opening is on the side, it's impossible. Do the capacities listed with the bladders take this into consideration?

I made a small pot stand for my meths stove out of a coathanger: Whilst messing about with the coat hanger wire, I had the idea of creating 3 little pot stand things for my hobostove. This is similar to the flip down stands used on the trangias. However, as the wire is round, it keeps...

Anyone got an Osprey Kestrel 48 they are willing to part with? Preferably in green. Not got a huge amount to swap, but willing to pay cash also.

Has anyone here tried freezer bag cooking before? After going to Dartmoor for a wild camp recently, I decided that cooking in pots and having to wash up is too much of a faff. The boil in bag meals are too expensive and weigh more, so I had a look at dehydrated stuff. However, they still...

Just been given a £50 voucher at work for helping someone out with something. It's redeemable at a whole load of stores, Amazon included. What should I spend it on? at the moment, these are the things on my wish list: Tarp Trekking Poles What do you think?

I haven't carved many spoons, but when I do, I usually do it over a period of a few days. Sometimes when I leave a half finished spoon over a day or two, it develops cracks. How can I prevent this from happening? The current spoon I'm carving is from a piece of Hazel that was still fairly...

I have this lovely red 1 litre sigg bottle, only used a handful of times. I'd like to swap it for a 1 litre Nalgene (preferably tritan) - the kind with the measurements on the side and a wide mouth. Whilst I really like the Sigg bottle, i'd like to be able to see how much water I have left...
