Dunno about Tilleys, I used to use Coleman pressure lanterns, Good piece of kit until, that is, they leak and you get incinerated by burning Naptha (The stuff they used in Napalm). Now I stick to a headtorch; lighter, less messing about and a lot bloody safer.

Greetings Earthlings 6'4" and 20St. I'd be grateful if anyone out there can recommend a reasonable quality sleeping bag that will comfortably fit my ample size as I'm more "Mears" than "Grylls" (not saying that Mears is a bit chubby, but Grylls is a skinny little bull****er) I currently use...

I used panel wipe in Feather 442 and never had a problem getting it to burn clear. If you,ve swapped all the valves, etc, the only thing I can think of is maybe you're not giving the generator enough time to heat up and vapourise the fuel. Ultimately get a Jetboil. I had the 442 and thought...

I was drawn to this topic with a thought out vilification of BG and after penning my thoughts I realised that it would've given Tolstoi a run for his money. BG: Charlatan and Walt 1st Simples (Pictures removed by Mods for language content. Thanks Goatboy).

Peas, Potato's, Cabbages; apart from that I know nothing about nothing.:lmao: Ignorance is bliss but Knowledge gives strength to the Arm.

Had a similar sort of idea but using braided Alasticum or plastic coated gardening wire(which would probably rust after time). Tried using a head net and don't have areal problem getting bitten, just hate the little beasties crawling all over my face. I'm at a bit of a loss as to coming up...

If it's "Ultra Light" that you're after, have you considered trying a "Tenkara" rod? Just a purpose built, telescopic whip, no reel and very portable. My set up comes in at 11' (closes down to 22") and weighs 50g. Phil

Depends on where you are fishing and what you're targeting?

Abu Toby, Mepps Aglia No.6, Dexter Wedge and a "Flying C". If the truth is known I take as many as I can and always too many, but hey, I'm a "Lure slut". It really all depends on what you're targeting and the location. Everything from a small, £3 Mepps up to a £20 jap import may or may...

Thanks for the welcome folks. Hammocks are fine and in previous incarnation I slept in one all the time............they keep the "Nasties" away, apart from Tigers! Unfortunately Caithness is known for its lack of woodwork and its overpopulation of Adders! I tried carrying a...

Already posted.................DOH!:o

The kids have all flown the coop and I'm now middle aged and semi-retired. I've been the Hunting, shooting and Fishing type all my life. Due to a recent health scare I've decided to slow things down a lot and contemplate retirement. Of the last couple of months I've been stuck with a...
