    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...

    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...

    Defender 90?

    Okay so I've been a traditional enthusiast of using my legs for years, now I'm 33 and I think its time I tried out this wheel m'larky. So I'm going to freaking do it and get myself driving. I've got a very low tolerance for all the usual toss that's out there in the way of vehicles, I want...

    Any 'Glowers' out there?, too much sweat for a human being?

    Well this is a pretty down to earth forum, so I feel like I'm able to air this with you folk without being too hung up about it, I sweat like a lathered horse and it makes no difference to my life on the whole, but when out hiking, cycling or holidaying in the sun, it can turn into a bit of a...

    Knife / Axe Dual sharpening whetstone or kit?

    Can anyone suggest a whetstone that would serve as a good primary sharpening tool for a knife, and a final sharpening tool for the axe?. I've done a bit of research but wouldn't mind some experienced opinions. Not a good Idea?, Not available/possible?

    Cleaning the HoboStove

    I've had a lot of fun in the front yard with my Hobo Stove, poking around in my little garden while a pot of tea boils. I've only used wood and have not figured out the best way to give the little thing a quick clean before it gets packed away. Burning natural fuel leaves a slightly...
