Great pictures.

Sounds good.

Ahhh. I missed them and they are not available any more. I'm sure they will be repeated soon though.

For me it is Military Mart online shop. Absolute rubbish service, I recieved second hand goods(which were advertised as new) and when I returned them, I got no replacement or refund. They just kept...

Probably my Falkniven DC4 sharpener, though I am fond of my Exped Synmat for a good night's sleep.

I use Climbing accessory cord in 4mm

We (the NIBA) bought a Parachute of Endicotts a few months ago. Quality and service were first rate as always. Give Kevin a ring and he'll go through everything with you.

Thanks Martin. We put most of our content on our blog, but keep the website for more in depth articles. Currently we are working on establishing a wild plant photo library. It's a work in progress....

A file (for removing nicks and reshaping if necessary) and a Gransfors axe stone for general sharpening. I also use a Falkniven DC4 diamond/ceramic sharpener as well.

I usually brush teeth, clean body with wet wipes, powder my feet and groin, and I always take moist toilet paper with me in case I have a particulary...

Believe it or not, I've never slept in a single man version of this type of shelter. I have however built and slept in a 2 man version. It was rather warm and, unlike the one pictured in the previous...

With 4 or 5 people, a couple of hours will do it. On your own, about 5 or 6 hours work will make it properly waterproof. You will, of course, spend even more time on it as you make slight ongoing...

The front of the ridge pole is held up by 2 "Y" sticks. These are pointed and driven into the ground for stability. The rear is held up on a smaller "Y" stick. this is just long enough to allow for a...

A tripod is simple to make.
Go to B&Q and get 3 mild steel rods.
Clamp each one in a vice and drill a hole in the end of each rod.
Get a wire coat hanger and cut about 8" off it.
Thread it...

Do the classic A frame debris hut.
