I went for plums and it seems to be coming along nicely. Will try damsons next year

I usually use this time of year to make sloe vodka, probably down to my Danish roots as I don't really like gin. It's easy and thanks to the recipe I got from this site very tasty. 3 litres last the...

Opinel not optional.

Love mine. I thought the same when it got delivered. I bought it under recommendation and when it arrived I thought it was too light and flimsy to be useful. But I've had it since 2012 and it's done...

I have a Hulatafors axe, an Enzo Hunter in D2 that I assembled my self and an Opinel 5 and 12. I also have a Laplander saw. I'm not really a fan of anything too Rambo like or Crocodile Dundee. A lack...

I've had a few optional 7's over the years. Seem to end up giving them away. All my drivers in Iraq ended up with them over time and an interpreter in Georgia. I carry a little 4 or 5 now, can't...

Absolutely stunning. I have a Frenchy knife and a Dorset Woodland Blades one. You are up there with the best Mark. Stunning work

Have a look at 3M on amazon. I've got some very Gucci looking EN rated safety specs for about £13. They are actually quite cool looking with it. Very Oakley looking....

I'd never deal with them again. Sent me a broken rifle, which they offered to repair. It was sent back with the same fault. I phoned and they weren't interested in sorting out another repair. I...

Very nice. I have a flat grind and a scandi grind. Both in D2 with white micarta scales. They look amazing. I remember seeing the Dozier website and thinking I want one, then seeing this kit at...

If I'm forced to live off the land then I'll choose the bit of land with a supermarket on it.
Actually I would worry if I had to live off my own body fat. There's so much of it these days I'd...

Try Alpkit.com. Their titanium mug is good as is their cup and for Ti stuff they are cheap.

I'm with Tim on this one, cottonwool balls smeared with vaseline is great. Use a bit of vaporub instead for a more interesting smell. I keep mine in an old curiously strong mints tin and they catch...

I'm doing a 5 week tour then home for 5. When the Turks talk of trouble with the Kurds they mean the PKK. One of the areas we use is under their control. Two of them asked for pain killers from me so...

Hi rossbird. did you go to the Mt Ararat area? we are about 6hrs drive from there. most of the high stuff is on the plateau just East of Mt Korek. This is the area where the first civilisations...

Imagine this. I get up early and go to the restaurant where a choice of breakfasts is made ready. After this I do a last minute check and then off to the 4x4. After climbing to about 5,000' and...

I got a compact pair from Argos a few years back for about £20 and my old company Cotswold do some good one for up to £50. They are designed for outward bound types and are selected for being light...

4 Axe. Hultafors Agdor

5 Saw. Bahco Lapplander

I bought a whitebox stove after seeing the video on here. I have always used a trangia in the past which is ok if you have the time to wait. I prefer to use boil in the bag foods so I only ever boil...

Not sure if it's boring? It's a great read mate. I really enjoyed it. I have to stay at home to work when the family go away at the end of the month and I have 2 nights off in that time. I'm hoping...

I like the Gourdon bags from Alpkit.com. They are 100% waterproof, have a sleeve inside for hydration bladders, are comfortable and don't cost the Earth. Having bought the larger model in black I...

Great idea for places with more dependable weather but the lack of overhead cover would put me off for this country. That said it is the cleverest bit of geometry I've ever seen, the designer must be...

It used to be just me and the dogs out in the forest for the day with a sandwich and a flask but courtesy of this site it became me and the dogs and a lightweight pot, a white box stove, a meal in a...

I know that some Greek wines are flavoured with pine resin but I didn't know that it was antiseptic. I use a glue called derma bond for simple wound closure but I would never have thought of pine...

I have to agree with the others, nice work. I used to never watch "home made" vids before coming on to this site. Ashley and Co changed my attitude to a number of things including watching films like...
