    How long for fire?

    I don't know why this just popped into my head today...... I know how to make fire in a variety of ways, but I'm curious as to how long it takes others to prep and get a fire going? Roughly speaking from "this looks like a nice spot" to "right lets get the kettle on" I can take my time...

    Dash Cams

    My wife's car and mine have a Blackvue DR650-GW fitted to them. There are front and rear camera's with the front running at 1080p and the rear at 720. We've had them a few years now and they are excellent. They work well and the app for smartphones and computer viewers work well. Peice of cake...

    No one talks about wet proofs

    Norrona Recon Gore-tex jacket paired with a pair of Spray-way waterproof trousers. Had them both for years and have kept me dry with a minimum of internal sweat building up. It really helps that the jacket has pit zips which really help control this normal problem with waterproofs.
