For Winter camping, I generally have so much gear that we pretty much have to camp near the car. I carry the group shelter and the heating (and fuel) on a separate frame backpack, and it occurred to me that if I added wheels, I'd have a serviceable trolley. Here is the result: I took a...

I used to be happy with my titanium kit, but now I see that I have to throw it all out, and buy it again: http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-36855705 If like me you like titanium, but worry that it's a bit on the cheap side, then this new alloy with gold is the answer to your...

I have for sale a nearly-new Karrimor Sabre 45 with side pockets, all in matching OD. I've used this on one trip only, and there's no wear on it that I can see - it's basically as-new. I bought it in (I think) February this year, so it should be the latest model. It's a great bag, but not quite...

I have a pair of old German Army goretex trousers that have been stalwart. But now I notice the taped seam is lifting in a couple of spots. Is there any way that I can stick it back down, and if so what should I use? They appear to be waterproof still, but I want to catch this before it...

I have a Tentipi. I'm very happy with it, but one thing causes frustration: it has a skirt (extra material round the bottom) and Tentipi say to heap earth and leaves on it. All very well in a forest, but I often use it in more exposed places where there isn't loose stuff lying around for this...

Hi, just saying hello from Ireland. I've been into the outdoors for years, but I'd like to do more of the bushcrafty stuff - making shelters, lighting fires without matches. I have plans to do some courses over the Summer, but I'd like to try and mess it up by myself first.
