Great piccies! I particularly like the "Smoke in the Woods" photo's. The composition of the first picture is awesome. I'll be honest and say that I was hoping the picture was bigger as I wanted to...

Hi Stu, I live in Ipswich. Nice to know I'm not the only fan of bushcraft in the town!
Have logged the site you mentioned before the edit. All being well, I should make it there Monday afternoon.
Hi folks,
It's been a while. After my little week in Dartmoor last year, I've decided to take some time out and pop down to the SW this weekend for a while (haven't decided when I'm coming home)....
A current UK Army issue Arctic (synthetic) sleeping bag, comfortable to -15c, no stuff sack for just £20 from eBay!
Very nice it is too, but a real squeeze to fit in my new rucksack!

I want to get away for a while and thought that visiting one of the youth hostels...
Fire Steel? What do you want one of those for? !!!! ;)
I'll have to be careful with my green folding chair after seeing your signature Phil!
Well, rucksacks nearly packed. Just got to sort out the Mrs and the dog and we'll be leaving Thursday night.. I've been looking forward to this for months!
I'll have to get a good Suffolk flag :)
I'd like to thank you all for your words of support. I'll keep you posted on whether I get my trusty tool back, or if I'm forced to fork out another £80 to replace it. It's my 40th birthday tomorrow...
Yes, Phil, me and the mrs will be at the RV. Can't wait to be honest!
Fortunately the sergeant responsible for deciding whether to charge me or not had military experience and the fact I stunk of the fire that had kept me sorted for three nights knew why it was in my...
Always remember when your travelling back from the 'wilds' to take your knife off your belt and put it deep in the confines of your rucksack, otherwise, like me, you could end up being arrested for...
Great video!

Icebreaker New Zealand Merino thermal long johns... Can't wear synthetic materials so this seemed the best option.
Really? I'd live there if I could earn my keep doing bits and pieces on site!
Well that's me and the Mrs confirmed for the whole weekend and I can't wait!
