There is a decent McCulloch (??spelling) that is a 0.38 model. It works well and I have seen it work very hard on some impressive wood. They are probably around your budget. Look in B&Q and Argos as they stock them. Now, dont get too caught in up chainsaw snobbery. All chainsaw...

Laphroaig, Peroni, San Miguel or more importantly than any of them.........tea!!

Hi all, Been away for a while, but ooooooh so happy to be back!!! Need some advice on a new venture. I have been thinking about trying to get into crayfish for ages. I live on the Isle of Wight and really want to start trapping / line baiting crayfish. Firstly, does anyone on here do...

I have well over 1000 acres if you want to give it a go. I also have a few other places where I have permission to shoot anything any time of year, so that probably easily adds another 500 acres or so. You are welcome to use rifle, shotgun and anything else you fancy. There is woodland, open...

Hey - at last!!!:D :D :D :You_Rock_ I have been replying to loads of threads and telling people about how wonderful these boots are. I have 2 pairs of Aigle Parcours (1 Iso and 1 normal). They are fantastic boots and are so much comfier than anything else out there. Glad you are enjoying...

I tend to vary mine according to fancy. Day to day wear I have a Rolex Sea Dweller. I also use a G-Shock Gulfman (it has tide timers and other useful bits on it). I also have a Citizen Aqualand, which is really nice. I have to say though, I find that my Sea Dweller gets the most wrist time...

What a pain. I am upgrading my cabinet due to an ever expanding selection of toys and would have been able to let you have mine (4/5 cabinet) for £20, but I read the bit about "preferring North-West". Well, the offer is there if you want it. Not sure what we can do about getting it to...

Hey, I live on the IOW. Good place for wandering and sampling the finer things in nature, but it can be difficult to get access to land for bushcraft. I have about 3000 acres which is easy to access and more than suitable. I have 2 spots that I have taken people to for days out and camping...

Listen to "demographic". He speaks wise words. All the general production sleeping bag companies (not including things like Rab etc) are full of cr8p. Dont waste your time building up for something which will probably dissapoint you. Work out what you can afford to spend and how much space...

I get all my pipe tobacco from Frederick Tranters on Oxford High Street. They do mail order too if you ask nicely. As for somewhere to start, I would ask for some 'Comfort of Bath'. This will blow your mind (it is not strong at all, but mellow and smooth). The number of people I know who...

Bought one and my friend now has one too. These things really are a fantastic bit of kit. Got mine with the Trangia, but I can get one for £30. Seriously good bit of kit and really (and I mean really) quick to heat and cook on. We boiled about 1.25 litres of water in the pan in 4 minutes...

Just though I would let you chaps and chappesses know that I have just bought a trangia with the gas conversion. Got a peachy little deal. Only paid £58, including the converter and all pots pans etc (it was the 25:2 - large size with kettle and frying pans and pots etc). Gave it a go with...

Well, you have 2 options really. If you want to stay British, go for Hunter, but the cheaper ones are not that well made. But they do go up to £225 for the hand made ones with orthopaedic leather etc. My recommendation is go for Aigle Parcours with adjustable calf size (if you have wide calfs...

Hey all, I need some advice. I am going to try and get started on other aspects of bushcraft now and want to start looking at food. Can anyone recommend any decent methods of learning about "outdoor" food? The problem is that I live on the Isle of Wight, so there is no-one local over here...

I'll go with Chopper on this one. Take some advice from one who knows - get one from bushgear.co.uk They have a fantastic service. Ordered mine at 1730 and it was delivered by 1130 the next morning at work. Price includes VAT and delivery and the quality is superb. I have tested it to...

If you really want a great desert boot, go for the Magnum desert boots. They are soooooooooo comfy and you just can not break them. Prices vary from £49 - £65 depending where you get them from. You will not be disappointed and the price is for new, not secondhand boots with little tread...

Good day fellow bushcraft adventurers!! I have a question that I placed in another forum, but though that this might be better instead. As you may have guessed, I am from the sunny old Isle of Wight and am new to the forum today. At the moment I know of no other bushcraft enthusiasts over...

Hi all, I just joined today after spending many happy hours perousing the forum and site and I have to say what a great bunch of people you are. :You_Rock_ I live on the Isle of Wight and I was wondering if any of you out there do too or know anyone who I could contact who has a keen...
