Any of you guys doing the infamous 500 mile canoe race from Whitehorse to Dawson? I am and I can wait. Going with army friends under the team 'The Steelbacks' representing 3rd Battalion, The Royal Anglian Regiment. We are hoping to raise some money and awareness for Help for Heroes...

I am interested in the exact same area and genre of books. I ones I have read that I have really enjoyed are; Cache Lake County Voyaguer; Across the Rocky Mountains in a Birch Bark Canoe The Good Life; Up the Yukon without a Paddle The Good Life Gets Better. The Call of The Wild (Jack...

Ah I have already given up on England, and I'm only 20. Too many reasons why, but growing up in the city just put it into perspective. I have my sights set on Canada, but the immigration process looks like an application to go to the moon! Pete79 I would be very grateful if you could pm me...

I initially read this thread out of curiosity, but that link at the top grabbed my attention and now I want a hawk from that site, need to start saving! I want the Custom Axe - Hand-Forged Frontier Trail Axe #I-05, its beautiful.

anyone have any experience with the Snugpak 'softie' sleeping bags? http://www.surplusandadventure.com/shopscr3442.html (on that particular website its £100, but I have seen it for 80 elsewhere) it packs in at 26cm by 26cm, compared to my army issue sleeping bag, that is tiny and...

Hey everyone :) I live in Cuffley just off the m25 and not too far from Hertford, but I am struggling to find any places to camp. When I look on googlemaps to have a look of forests around me, it would appear I am spoilt for choice, but how do I find out who owns what? There are a couple...

Wow, well I recieved me delivery of Pine Tar Soap today. I only ordered it Tuesday and its here two days later on a free delivery! I am impressed. On first impressions it doesnt smell of pine as much as it smells of smokey tar, but when you wash with it, it lathers up nice and theres a...

Well today I took the plunge... Currently I am 19 years old and was due to go Uni the coming September, but I figured if I go to uni; I will just be throwing myself upon the conveyor belt as uni would mean debt, then time spent paying off that debt which will mean I'll be late twenties...

First one makes me an Ash, then Alder and Pine.

Yeah I read that recently, the beginning was very good but he is very much trying to convey this image of him being a hardcore explorer. The Congo is very dangerous but he was never on his own, the picture on the back made me laugh alot, he is like one of those british expeditionaries sitting on...

I live in Goffs Oak around the corner, I'll keep an eye out for it.

Ok, I have been in a TA Infantry regiment for nearly 3 years now :) I joined for a few reasons, to improve fitness, to learn some new skills, navigation/fieldcraft etc, the experience (every man wants to ran around a muddy feild firing a weapon and shouting!) my driving license, general...

My ideal trip; Go on a massive wilderness canoe trip in western Canada, stick mainly to northern BC and the Yukon, maybe even Alaska. While on this trip, scout for the perfect cabin location, which would be the main agenda of the trip. Return to the location and build the cabin, not on my...

My personal fave moment of Bear Grylls is when he says, a good way to cover some mileage in the Canadian Rockies; you should throw yourself into the rapids with your backpack on..
