I want to make survival tins with my bushcraft class. I was thinking empty Altoids tins (or similar) would work well. Does anyone know where I can get a job lot of empty ones? I can order them on ebay from the USA, but I'm sure we eat mints here don't we?

Any help would be very highly appreciated.

Josh

I would have bought one which is only a pup but dont have the funds available.
it would be cared for. and when not out getting loads of exercise and playtime. it would lovingly oiled and stropped.then cleaned and given its own
cosy home in my pack.
I have loads of stuff available to offer in trade to a person who finds the wildlife hatchet a little small for their needs. or has moved up to a bigger breed.

Walk along a beach at low tide when the sand is firm and wet. At each step the sand immediately around your foot dries out and turns white. Why?
The popular answer, that your weight “squeezes the water out,” is incorrect; sand doesn’t behave like a sponge. So what does cause this? ]]> Tracking Bushwhacker http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=108015 http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=108014&goto=newpost Fri, 24 May 2013 07:50:59 GMT Watch out, Chisellers about, look like the old rogue has taken to leaving his mark on the heads of sleeping drunks;)

Looking for a hammock upgrade ? This is for you then .....


Bought from this thread.....
http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=95086

I've just dismantled it as I was going to modify the hang. So its sort of in kit form . Its all there and in excellent condition. I can't find the bishop bag , but will include it if it turns up before its sold. I will include a couple of snapwires for lightweight ease of hanging.



Rare hammock , should go up in value , not down.

I knew a few likely spots, so I set off.

An hour later I had five different species of orchid, and a whole bunch of other stuff. I know what it all is, so will post them up here and leave people to ask/guess what things are. I thought that would be more interesting than just a long list. Major kudos if you can name them all. I will provide answers later if there is enough interest.

First the orchids
1. 2.
3.
4. 5.

Then the other stuff
6.
7.
8.
9. 10.

For sale - a mint condition arctic bag, newest design (as far as I can tell) with brand new stuff sack and brand new cotton liner (all genuine issue)

This is one of the best condition bits of kit I own and I haven't even used it yet!

Need to clear out some stuff as got too much and I now have an alpkit down bag so no need for the arctic bag any more.

I can post it, but it might be expensive as its pretty bulky. I'd prefer collection from Gloucestershire area (I'm in Cheltenham but I'm willing to meet half way for anyone nearby)

You can see pics here

I'd be looking for around 40 quid all in - make me an offer

Thanks
