@Faust for some reason I though your body heat would be well trapped and eventually get cosy, you're probably right :) @killeroy154 The amount fo barefoot walking I do, I'm suprised they're not lines with fur or at least black from all the dirt :P @campforums I would love my permanent house to...

Sorry to revive such an old thread, got here from a link posted in a thread I started. Something I have wondered, what is the little hole for at the back of the blade?

I realise this is going ot sound very suitable to my name and maybe a little silly but please humour me.... Has anyone tried a type of buried shelter? Say, you dig out a 'fox hole' size pit, assemble your camp and then cover most of it over wth earth/branches etc... My thinking is for a few...

Lighter the hotter the day, tend to try and wear darkr on gloomier days but I don't think it helps that much without much sun. I do find though that always wearing a material that allows my skin the breath (cotton) no matter the weather is a great step towards allowing you body to adapt to the...

I used to always depend on the stereo typical swiss army knife until a friend suggested that a pair of sturdy scissors can be far more useful. He was right, cutting meat and food up for cooking is simple, I don't even need a surface. Bodging things together is safer when cutting off loose tied...

Because preparing and cooking food is not as stright forward as being at home I find myself cutting back on the amount of things I throw together. Still have the same amount of meals but there is usually less in them. I'm busy with doing other things that I don't really get hungry, just eating...

I fish to relax. Usually I'm with the same friend who is quite similar to me. Most of my other friends probably wouldn't add to the relaxation as you need to be an easy going type of character that doesn't mind the slow pace of things. It's the kind of pursuit I only do with someone who is...

I never realised is was so legally confusing with camping in the UK: v-g Wild Camping - Legal Issues I just always made sure I was not blocking public rights of way, not on private land, out of site (but that was more for my benefit), left an area as I found it and never started any open fires...

Stealth camping doesn't ring a bell with me. Is this something to do with hiding or camouflaging your tent? Sorry I'm sounding stupid, but is wild camping where you don't use a camp site? If wild camping is not using a camp site, then I see the attraction as you have the freedom to pick the...

I don't want it to rain while pitching my tent or when I'm preparing a BBQ. But when we've turned in for the night, after a day of getting dirty and hot, I just love it when I can hear a gentle haze of rain against the tent. Even better when the weathers right so when you wake up everything has...

I really want to believe in the paranormal but I have to see it for myself. I'd do it with a group of friend and make it into a fun trip. I'm sure the rumours are spread so people like me would camp there.

Usually take a few disposable BBQs. Light, no fuss and don't have to worry about cleaning them afterwards. Usually get about 45 minutes of good cooking time with one. Can get a bit messy when it comes to taking them home with you at the end of your camping as even if you are sure the carry bag...

Warn you grandgson that his pet may become extinct as the flower he's eating may not be all that good for him...... ;) Thanks :)

Myself and my brother could swim before we could walk. Our parents were very boaty people (not the rich kind) and we would often be so far out we couldn't see land. Thought nothing of just jumping off the side, I can't remember not being able to swim. I don' tend to swim when out now as I'm...

Anyone else try adding flower petals to their soups while out and about? I mainly stick to dandelion as there are usually plenty about. My soup is usually in a flask (just a cheap watery chicken soup) and I'll just pluck suitable petals/flowers and add them to the flash, leave them in there to...

Hi, A Brit that loves the outdoors, exploring and camping :) Have been tempted to go the caravaning route but it just doesn't sit right. Me and my brothers grew up treking, on the water and adventuring like boys do. I am just starting to get interested in bushcraft so hopefully I'll find out...
