I am thinking to buy myself Jerven bag - leave it in the car boot in case the car breaks down, use as ground sheet on a beach or for a picnic, use it in cold evenings while camping, hunting or fishing (I was recently in Ilfracombe, there were lots of tourist walking around in robes like Jerven...

No need for a separate GPS - smartphone is always with you, you will take power banks with you as well And I get bored after 2 days in wilderness unless there is something exciting like fishing or hunting And I would think my habits mimic those of 95% of UK population I would, however, recommend...

I don’t know any other electric car that I like, I like how it drives itself. Though I don’t mind going for a hybrid, Toyota is a good brand in terms of reliability

It is Lada 2106. I also slept in it, 5 people at once - my brother, cousin, father, uncle and me. We used to go out for fishing and wouldn’t dare sleeping outside because of scorpions and snakes. So surprising that we would live like this for entire week and be fine. Now I require all the comforts

Did it a few times already Thanks, everyone. I will look into an option of travelling and sleeping in a car alone

Serviced camp sites with shower and toilet.

Not the guys I spoke to - all they carried was ammunition, weapons and radio, often no body armour, sometimes even just a small flask of water

My feet are Extra Extra Wide (width H), so it is very hard finding properly fitting boots. Any recommendations where I could order hiking waterproof boots that will fit my width? They will need to be properly waterproof as I want to use them for hunting So far was thinking about Altberg Hogg All...

Wife likes camping when it is a nice weather. However, you often cannot predict it. That's why I thought having a car to sleep might make their day if it is cold. Daughter doesn't like camping at all, but she will have to go with us...

Hard to say. I brew my own ales, make wine. So, I have at least 50 bottles of wine. Then I just finished making 23 litres of IPA and 15 litres of kvas. And I have at least 50 litres of ale that I am aging to see the difference. Then I have 100+ litres of water in bottles, but bought several UN...

Thank you for the tip - I currently use EWT water softener and filter, but they started charging ridiculous prices and I now want to get rid of their filter with something cheaper. Guess will buy it and hire someone to install it, but ask the teach me replacing the filters, suspect it is...

You can - I lived 12 months 1997-1998 on about £3k. Now I feel lucky if I spend less than this in a month. People need to learn again to better fend for themselves because dark times come when too many people become a burden to society

I got rid of my car in 2019, though was evaluating if I need it for about 2 years before it. The main reason why I got rid of it was because it demanded too much attention to stay clean (I like clean cars, don’t care about their brand or characteristics) and money to stay legally roadworthy...

What is the best car roof rack brand and what is the best way buying it? I like saving money, but much appreciate quality too I am currently thinking Thule as I see them around, maybe source from Halfords though suspect fitting will be overpriced. However, I remember a guy running on an...

Agree - hiring a small van costs £200-400 in a summer, it is much cheaper to use B&B. That’s why I don’t see much point buying something large - it more expensive than a hotel. Plus it requires more washing and cleaning, sits in front of your house demanding attention… car is much easier to live...

We don’t camp often, usually less than 4 days a year, I want to increase this. However, my wife and daughter prefer me booking a hotel, and I find this expensive. I hope to increase our camping to about 2-3 times a year for 1-3 nights each time, probably 4-6 nights in a year, don’t think they...

I am toying with an idea of sleeping in a car as I do not want buying a camper van - my wife and daughter sleep in a car while I perhaps can sleep outside in a bivvy. This should allow us travel more often around the UK However, I am thinking what gear I should buy By the way, I also would need...

Spetsnaz did not carry PSKs in Afghanistan... I remember reading "Technology and Weapons" in 80s (Soviet military magazine) when I came across PSK. The content was more or less the same what "Lofty" was recommending. However, when I spoke to Afghanistan war veterans, they told me they were...

I see they sell Jerven on eBay from... Ukraine, they seem to give a good discount. It is Extreme Varan 170g, I believe it is a military model. I also saw there Extreme Varan 200g, perhaps it is a special military order

Hi, everyone, After 20+ years of buying various knives, I now have 8-14 knives that I rarely use. Some are quite nice - Busse, Randall, Roselli, Fairbairn-Sykes, - so I wonder if I should display them and take out for use in rare occasions. Any recommendations how to display? I am thinking if I...
