Anyone have a tried and tested lime pickle recipe? Tried to make some, sterilised kit in autoclave (Pressure cooker!), washed all veg.. tried a couple of recipes online, both went wrong.

Hullo folks! Can anyone identify these? Think that last one might be.. er.. was it cowberry? I'm really bad at this... Max

Never seen one of these before. Anyone got any idea how to make something like this? http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/travel-outdoors/bd44/

Hi guys, I'm trying to make myself a kit list for food for say a week. I want to go for more traditioal foods that aren't just boil in the bag. I'm a bit of a foodie, and i like to cook. I don't mind washing up afterwards, water permitting, so the mess is not an issue. What foods do you...

Hi folks, I was hoping someone could do a guide on knotcraft, or perhaps link to an existing guide. I'm trying to brush up on my quickrelease knots etc. Thanks in advance!

Anyone had any experience with the Trangia Multifuel burner? I just invested, because my pocket rocket died.

I'm firmly in the Ray Mears camp when it comes to eating while out and about. If the food is bad, or your time is uncomfortable, you're probably doing something wrong for whatever reason. As a consequence, i've been thinking a lot lately about foods we can take with us while we're...

Hello folks, I found a fair bit of material online that indicates Betadine (and presumably videne, and any other 10% povidone-iodine solution) can be used for water purification in a ratio of 3-4 drops per litre with a 30 minute stand time. Has anyone tried this? I have litres of such...

Went for a bit of a wander in some of the local woods. There's a little quarry where i used to play as a child.. it used to be bare rock with some little cave-like structures, but its all smoothed out with vegetation growing in there now. Some of it is still bare, and has become a fantastic cold...

Hiya, When it comes to identifying plants i confess i am a luddite. I am hopeless. This is something i'd like to rectify, but i was wondering if anyone could give me a quick tip or two on identifying willow in winter. I want to find a bit to sample the bark (a twig, not a half tree).

Hello! Which plants are good for headaches? I remember seeing RM chew on a variety of willow, but i don't know which. Any others? I get terrible (crippling) migraines, and the medicine is quite expensive. The preventatives make me ill or tired. Nico

Beer's been with us for thousands of years, so i thought it was worth posting up a recipe here. I'm not going to be super-technical here, but do shout at me if i digress and ramble too much, i will edit. ;) I thought i'd make a basic brew. It's really no more complicated than cooking...

Hello folks! I keep seeing these "military" trangias knocking about online around the 12 quid mark. Few questions... 1 They look nice and small. Do they fit in PCLE pouches? 2 Can the nice looking hook arrangement be used as a billy can type thing? 3 Does it really all pack down into...

Hello folks. Looking for a cheap springer rifle as a backup for my rabbitstopper. (Yes yes, they're horrible. i love mine. :P ) Ideally it would be one that will accept a theoben ram. Any suggestions?

Hello folks! Be gentle!

Hello folks! Wondering if anyone knows a good source for particularly tasty / wild honey. I make a fair bit of mead, and am going to be making some for a living history group (as a gift, of course, not for sale!). They want a true viking experience, so ideally i want bits of bee in there ;)
