I've always hated fishing but that looks interesting. Wonder if it's legal in the U.K. I doubt it, nothing fun is:ashamed:

Please don't quote any laws to me like in Bushcraftboy's 1st camp thread.

[CanadianMike]

Like I know any of the laws over there......... here, to bowfish, you just need a fishing licence....... and can only take coarse fish as they call it, gar, carp, etc. Guess it's a reference to the scale size.

[Adam Savage]

I remember watching Ray Mears, and he was spear fishing, which was illegal (he had to get special permission), but I have no idea about bow fishing. I would guess it's illegal, because bow hunting is.

[Metal mug]

Again?!? Non! But wouldn't it be funny if a series of spoof videos were made of Mountainous? LMFAO!!!I've often wondered if Mountainious is really a very clever spoof. :D

Ummm, Why would you want carp. It is a filthy creature.

[Martin]

Ummm, Why would you want carp. It is a filthy creature.

They eat millions of them in Asia.

[CanadianMike]

Dunno, maybe because carp might be considered as pests and no known predator? Guess I'll have to look it up. Maybe they are just so ugly they are worth open season on.......... then again, turkeys, butt ugly, and one has to have a licence to hunt them...... I guess because they taste so good. :)

[Adam Savage]

Carp are bottom feeders, so tend to taste very earthy. Not my choice dish, I must admit lol.

[cuppa joe]

dont know if its ok but ive just seen these on fleabay and thought they may be of interest ....

[comanighttrain]

that all depends on the quality of the hex

[Adam Savage]

The ones in the picture look like genuine British army issue, so should be ok. Gotta be better than those nasty round things, that last about 30 seconds :)

[cuppa joe]

Ive never had a hexi stove but for £2 all in I thought there may be someone teaching classes that may appreciate a chance to bulk buy....im not connected with the seller in any way just thought it was worth a mention.
I have bagged bargains myself by listening to advice and tips from members of this site and am just returning the favour.

[Notredame11211]

Exactly, That is why I was raised despising carp.

I got told off by eBay, for selling a US army respirator hood. The US DOD contacted eBay and ordered them to remove the listing, because of it being sensitive military equipment. I've had the hood for 15 years, surely it's outdated by such a margin, as to be useless to anyone trying to steal ideas...

Maybe hexi blocks fall into the same category :p

[comanighttrain]

I seen them up as all of them for £250

[cuppa joe]

yeah the seller changed the listing

Just got my son a Swedish Army stove from www.militarymart.co.uk I ordered it about 4pm on monday received it today (wednesday) at 1pm (It'll now be put away ready for his birthday). As with MY stove couldn't fault the quality or the service.

[Realbark]

Whats your thoughts on this one? They say it is 'water resistant' but just wondering if from looking at it how resistant it is (I know its just a guess as its hard to say without trying). I am after something that is easier to use in the banshee as the one I have at the moment is only accessable from the top end so makes it very awkward to get in. Could also use as quick cover if the need arises depending on how good it is.

http://www.militarymart.co.uk//Campi...prod_1772.html

Had a bash with this now. Waterproof and warm (no frost but quite cold with heavy dew). i did fit one of the ultra thin insulating mats (as tipped here by someone!). The roll was in excellent condition with everything clean, no rips or stains and only one button missing (out of about 30 odd - easily rectified). Packs up well icluding the ins mat and i shall deffo be using more - for £17.00 including postage. Im 6 foot 2 and big built and there was plenty of room inside and easy in/out.

Thanks Realbark, appreciate the post. An order is on the way then for one of these then.

I thought it would re-organise my lumpy little first aid kit into a flatter pack more suited for the pockets in my Sabercat and Rush72 pack .

Four colour coded zips each with their own pocket 195X140 mm ... Sorted the first aid kit out as I hoped ,

made a nice flat easily pocketable pack out of shapeless lump !!!

27" long and approx 8" diameter. Thats without using any compression straps - just in its own wrap. Weight approx 3LBs including insulating mat. I reckon using straps you could get about 20 x 5 - smaller than my dossbag/thermarest set for sure.

Decided that my new Paramo smock is just too nice for a weekend around the campfire and rough working so looked for something that I wouldn't mind getting bashed about a bit. After some searching around I came across this

http://www.thebushcraftstore.co.uk/windproof-fleece-lined-traditional-style-smock-812-p.asp

Just had it delivered and first impressions are that its not a bad bit of kit for the money. Comfortable and warm, not too noisy when wearing and should stand up to the abuse its going to get so I will let you know how it gets on. Might not be to everyones taste as the inner fleece is fixed, probably not that breathable and only shower proof but I might try a treatment with Nicwax and see what happens but for me this is my bushcraft top and technical abilities are less important, I could always take it off if I get too warm after all.

Other items delivered - neoprene cocoon for my UCO lantern, 9 hour candles for the same and permanent match lighter. First class service from The Bushcraft Store, delivered next day as promised.

Just waiting for delivery number two :happy-clapping:

With thanks from Backpackinglight for another speedy, as promised, next day delivery -

Nice and shiney Honey Stove. Was going to get as xmas pressie but couldn't wait so will have to ask for a hammock instead :D

Fold flat pack grill Enables me to use the Honey Stove to cook more than one thing at a time.

Evernew titanium trivet fits on the trangia meths stove.

With this new setup, and a couple of titanium pots that are next on the list, I should have a nice diverse and relatively lightweight cookset that will allow me to use wood where available or fall back onto meths when needed. I also have the option of using both with the new trivet and an ally windshield that I already have.

Nice touch from Backpackinglight - a card detailing their guarantee and returns policy with a handwritten note and a free pack of Skittles! I was just getting peckish. Very good service.

(Edit - the skittles are lovely :) )

Hey Sapper4083 , join the club !!! I often bike into a location , even an old heavy steel frame like your Apollo can save you hours of walking into a site !!!

Plus you really can carry a lot of gear on the bike . If I'm setting in an area and bimbling about for a while I use the bike bob

( a lightweight single wheel trailer that pivots in a frame behind the rear wheel ... Packs a 100 litres in a waterproof pack !!!)

then I can take the camp gear , a standard daypack and all the camera stuff ... Ezy Pzy !!!

Good luck with the bike , hope you enjoy it !!!

I have a scarily expensive XC MTB but its full sus so i cant load a pannier rack onto it.

Anyway picked up the bushbike project bike today and for £12.50 Im amazed at how good condition its in, it still has original tyres on it and they still have the 'spres' attached. It has been ridden but not alot. It still has the original barcode attached from the shop !!

I'll get some before and after oics up although uts in such good condition im loathe to paint it so Im going to cover it in black gun wrap / vet bandage and use OG fabric tape to secure it

My girlfriend gave me a 3'x3' waterproof zippered bag to hold to a roof rack for my recent birthday, since there has been a few times I've been overloaded in the back with camping/fishing/drinking/survival gear and needed more roof to fit stuff, so this will work perfectly! Only $14.99 from a "you pull it off" salvage yard! Also going to get a new full sized spare tire off the same vehicle and mount it to the roof rack too, since my original spare is a different size and also rusted to **** because it sits under the arse of the truck. Nutshell, can't trust what I have.

Hey thanks. I never really liked the look of Micarta but it feels good once it warms us, it's tough and stable and that shiney red just looks hard to lose.

A british military style mess tin for £1.25 from 'Home Bargains'. Tried it with a home made Lynx can white box stove and boiled 300ml of water in half the time of the swedish army army stove using 20ml of meths. Will do a proper comparison test on video soon.

Couldn't resist this candle lantern - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290562423730

They are a nice little bit of kit. Bought one and used it for the first time a couple of weeks ago as a marker to show me the way back to me tent after I battled with the woodland spirits and won. They say the candles are 9 hour but I forgot to blow mine out and it was definately more than 9 hours when I found it in the morning.

Edit - the neoprene cocoon for the lantern is a good investment aswell

Yep, it's feckin' huge. Does mean that I can now lump everything together in the loft and not have to worry about wressling with the Hill pump when trying to extricate the vacuum cleaner out the cupboard. Or try and remember where the bloody allen key is for the scope mounts... Got a regular canvass bag for a single rifle. :)

They will be very bright for the first month or so, then they will seem dimmer. I bought one a while back. Not sure if it was the batteries starting to loose their umph, or me getting used to the brightness though lol. Quality bits of kit for the price though, and better than many other torches below at least a tenner.

[kINGPIN]

@Metalmug + Woodwose, LMAO, it was all I wanted or needed this year. I get some weird and stupid stuff off the mrs if I don't advise on these things. Likewise most things I buy her are taken back to the shop.

Good deal on the torches, its amazing that they can be made and shipped at that price.
