Hi folks, well 2 days ago my RM version Swazi Tahr anorak arrived (after finally making a decision). I am currently chuffed to bits with it, but have yet to get out in some wet weather. It feels great, I was concerned that because it was a pull over and not with a full zip that It may be...

How does it compare to ventile in regards to toughness and rip proofness? I am in the market for a jacket and am looking at this one incomparison to a ventrile one. This one I am guesisng will have a higher level of waterproof due to the gortex ( although ventrile also very good ) and both are...

I was about to buy the ventile jack I linnked to in original post when I came across this: http://www.raymears.com/shop_item_desc.cfm?id=534&itemType=Clothing&desc=Swazi_Ray_Mears_Tahr_Anorak Looks just the ticket, being gortex but also quiet/russle free. Does anyone have one or are able to...

Hi copperhead Well you sound pleased with yours, I am highly tempted and in the market for one, it's this or a gortex jacket of some sort. I like the aspect of quietness and no russles but am still needing persuasion on its ability in a downpour. Could you tell me if this jacket/material gets...

Kinda lame :( More content needed

Ty Matt, I'll get to it then :)

Not an A road but a busy road nonetheless. Shame as it is loaded with rosehips :( Boooshpig

I guess it is one thing finding a few supplementals and another to live soley on ones foraging. I aspire to this, that and growing my own! Side question: what are your thoughts on roadside foraging? I have spied some rosehips but wonder about car exhausts and contamination.

Hi all, just trying to expand my range of foraging knowledge I thought I'd post what I currently colelct, and ask what else you guys would suggest. My main pickings are: Hazelnuts - toeat as they are but am looking for preservation methods Sweet chestnuts - yum ! As above. Blackberries -...
