    Camp beds in tents

    Going to be doing a motorcycle trip to Auschwitz in July and camping. I always use an Exped Synmat but my mate needs his camp bed for his back. As he'll be borrowing one of my tents I'm worried about the feet damaging the tent floor. Are my concerns valid and should I be putting something...

    Modding my rucksack

    Since starting bushcrafting this March I have been learning by noticing the kit others are using and asking questions then changing what I use and how I use it. But I can't fit all my kit into one rucksack so end up making several trips to and from the car. I've ordered a 70ltr rucksack from FB...

    White marks on tent fabric

    I am utilising an unexpected day off work (poorly 6 yr old) to clean my camping gear from this weekend's bike rally. Can anyone tell me what this white frosting is on my tent and an awning we have? I've always wiped and dried my tent on getting home so it's never knowingly been stored away...

    Bored on a Saturday night

    Deciding that the new series of Ant & Dec isn't for me and with SWMBO's cries of "You're mad!!" ringing in my ears I decided to try something for outdoor camping other than one of my tents. Having a basha but no trees in the back garden I made best use of the decking 😂 So here we basha...

    Rules for hanging out with you lot

    As a newbie and reading some of the "Out and About" reports, before I turn up to one of your gigs I just want to check out what the rules are. As a motorcyclist my kit is tent based due to the need to put my gear somewhere plus the load carrying capacity of the bike. So are "tenties" welcome...
