    Down underquilt

    I'm looking for a Down hammock underquilt. It needs to fit a generic hammock, no particular designs to conform to. I would like 3 season as I have a few little bits that could probably squeeze out winter use too. I don't mind bespoke or recognised label, I'm just interested if people are...

    Due to circumstances I cannot attend, what now?

    Hi everyone. Unfortunately I will now be unable to attend this years Bushmoot in August. Sadly my father in law has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. Myself and my wife have been very concerned with his health and I feel that during this time I should be with her, rather then be camped...

    Drew

    So sad to hear this news, I only had the chance to meet Drew the once at Bushmoot 2012. And He spoke about how important the Bushmoot was to him, and how many if not all of his friends were to be found there. He clearly felt more the person he wanted to be out in the woods with people with a...

    an announcement that will shock the bushcrafting community as a whole

    Good to meet you last year fella, I remember you talking on the last day how much you look forward to going and seeing old friends. For that alone, sorry to hear you're missing out. I understand the work commitments I really do, it takes tooth and claw to leverage the time off where I'm at.

    Look out, its the Rozzers!

    You know what, honestly? I couldn't give a monkeys. This might sound brazen but I'm quite prepared to be stopped and questioned and no doubt the fact I carry a folder larger than 3" that locks would raise some alarm bells. But, and this is how I feel strongly about this I'm not a criminal...

    bog oak friction folder

    Something about this knife has kept me coming back to see if it's sold. It's darn B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L. Are you open to offers? would you come down to £75? if so you've got yourself a buyer. Just don't web search me and get in contact with my wife, she'd use said knife to make new Xmas decorations...

    Small Ultralight Aluminum Hand Warmer

    Do you find the fuel evaporates inbetween uses. Or what I should say is can I fill one up and keep it stored in my bag for when I need it or will I find it empty as a politicians heart?

    diabetes and bushcraft/survival , any advice?

    Hey all, a bit late to the ball I'm afraid, but I'd like to put in my 10p. I've only been a Type 1 for about 9 months, so I've got a fair bit to learn. However I've been hammering the management since the second day of diagnosis and learned a lot about how to make diabetes fit around my...

    Hey Dwardo, I spotted a picture of your hammock setup in the thread "Pimp my hammock, help please" and although I can't really help you beyond the advice already given, I'm really interested in how you've modded your mossy net. I've got a DD camping hammock and with no built in net I've got two...

    Ground and Tree dwellers, can we 'hang' together

    Hi All, I've (finally, oh sweet justice) had my leave approved for the Bushmoot, which is beyond good news, and I'm trying to keep ahead of myself before I pack everything too soon. I think I'm going to be hammocking, as I'm keen to spend more than an overnight with my hammock setup and make...

    Not long till bushmoot - Will the midges be about?

    This being my first bushmoot, I'm obviosuly working hard way too far in advance to plan what I'll be taking with me (with great excitement). I'm trying to keep weight down, and since I don't know south Wales very well I don't really know what the mosquito/midge's are like in August. Otherwise...

    esbit coffee maker

    to be honest, I find the 1 cup filter cups to be excellent (Smartcafe) and obviously a lot lighter and simpler to use. Also if you remove the filter you get a standard cup. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Smartcafe-Cafetiere-Hot-Mug-Red/dp/B0007MTNH2/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1339489848&sr=8-2 They're...

    slingshot workshop

    excellent idea, I would be very interested. I used to be a mean shot back in the 'teens, but made a fool of myself when I last displayed my 'awesome' skills. It would be great to get some guidance and hone them thar skills.

    North West Cheshire / Chester West folk

    I miss Cheshire, my place of birth. I've got great memories of Delamere forest, I even found a couple of roman coins there, which were promptly nicked by my school as they were found on a field trip. I never heard about them ever again, I distinctly remember asking the teacher who denied all...

    Why even Ray Mears dies alone in the subarctic -- part 1

    This is true, and a really good example of adapting the western diet to a more 'local' diet. The balance of Carbohydrate, Proteine and Fat would have been drastically different. I follow a low carb diet to control my diabetes, and use little tubs of butter to increase my cal intake, since my...

    Are you a blood donor?

    Thanks for the heads up. I always thought this was strange. I still get the letters, but the last 3 times I tried to donate they rejected me. Iron levels normal, no other complications or abnormal levels.
