Anyone got any recommendations for reasonably priced, non-cotton socks? Avoidance of sweaty sock syndrome is the main objective. Already follow good foot hygiene. Looking for a medium weight sock, and looking to buy multiple pairs, so £20 smart wool and the like are out of my budget. There are a...

Taking my boy to Glaskogen in Sweden for a weeks canoeing and camping at the end of July. Does anyone know if military ration packs are allowed on commercial flights? We thought we'd take a few with us, but don't want to end with the rations turfed in the bin and/or us turfed off the flight...

I've been looking on the 'bay for chainsaw trousers, for use when cutting logs for firewood. I want adequate protection, but my budget is not huge. There are plenty like this on there...

I have a vague childhood camping recollection of having delicious hot chocolate, made out of a concentrated mix that came in a squeezy tube and was just added to hot water. None of my mates can remember this, and a google search hasn't revealed owt. Does it sound familiar to anyone on here? Did...
