I'd highly recommended the book on which the film was based. Also his sister has given an interesting TED talk. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

Slightly off topic, but I'd be interested to know if anyone has thought of sailing sections of the coast whilst foraging and fishing? It would have to be a small enough boat to get inshore and up estuaries. You wouldn't expend too much energy whilst traveling and you could continually fish...

Sorry, won't make it to this one as already committed to going camping elsewhere. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

Thanks Adrian, Finland is now definitely in my to do list for next year. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

I recently took a chance and bought two Aegismax Ultralight Lengthened Envelope Down Sleeping bags from AliExpress (China) for £112 total including shipping, having read positive reviews and I'm really pleased. Link: https://m.aliexpress.com/item/32349360161.html#autostay Positives: - I can...

Out of interest does anyone know if there is much difference between Fjallraven G1000 material and Ventile? I ask because Fjallraven actively promote waxing certain areas of their G1000 garments. If they are similar materials then the surely it may be beneficial to wax certain exposed areas...

The XXL ultra light hammock from TWHammocks might be worth a go at £18.99. It's got the length you might find useful and appears to be cheaper than DD equivalents. Don't bother with a net initially unless you're​ in midge country...

If you live in the South East "Pure Bushcraft" in Surrey do an overnighter in hammocks. Sort of a basic introduction where they supply all the kit at around £25. It's how I first got introduced to it and have since bought all the kit. Otherwise go to a local meet mentioned in some of the...
