I have M.E. and digging a hole in the woods is really is out of the question. I would totally consider getting one of these. I have had portapotties in the past and emptying them is the grossest thing ever. This is far more preferable.

As a lone female camper, my sole reason for wanting to sleep high off the ground is that, unless they know that I'm there, no-one will ever find me. I like climbing trees and feel, from a security point of view, that I would sleep much better with out worrying about anyone stumbling over me. I...

This is very interesting to me, as I used to be incredibly fit and active. Every day of my life involved vast amounts of exercise. And then I got ill, (with M.E.) and haven't exercised in about a year and a half. I have put on loads of weight and can't walk more than a quarter of a mile on a...

That's beautiful. :)

I have climbed many tree in the past and reached heights that, if I'd fallen, would probably have killed me. But I also get in a car each day and lots of people die doing that as well, so I guess I just don't worry enough. Perhaps I will start off camping out in fairly low trees, assess the...

thank you :)

I have just read this thread from start to finish and found it incredibly interesting. I wouldn't say I was particularly prepared, but my lifestyle lends itself very well to survival, in that I try and live in a very eco-conscious and self sufficient way. We have solar lights, water containers...

Hi, I was wandering if anyone knows of any good bushcraft courses that are suitable for people with mobility problems? I have M.E. and can only walk very short distances and need lots of rests, but I would love to go on a course. It needs to be for people who are not physically fit though! I am...

i've thought about this on and off for years and never heard any one else talk about it. i am desperate to give it a go as i love climbing trees. i would happily sleep in beeches when it is dry but i would probably be a little wary of them in the wind after a heavy rain. one of my main reasons...

I used to live near Monkton Farleigh (outside Bath.) Stunning woodlands. Tis a lovely part of the country. Anyways, welcome....

ROFL @ taffia!!! i'm finding it addictive here already (i've set it as my home page on my phone!)

Offer a bit of it to a cat or dog. If they don't want it, don't eat it.

I have a Sony Ericsson K800i, and can access foums fine (it is my main internet access in the summer!) Vodafone do a £7.50 a month package. I cant remember how many meg/gig/whatever it is that you get for that, but I know i rarely ever even use half of it.

My criteria when buying a vehicle is can I sleep in it and can I fix it with a swiss army knife? I love old landy's!!
