Thank you Scott. Keith.

How bulky is this to carry on your back Scott? Regards, Keith.

Well I have to admit that I encourage the growth of dandelions & nettles as a food source, one never knows when one may have to rely on them as the only food you have! Regards, Keith.

I made our own using old roofing iron & pallets, roofing iron & posts, I cut up some old galvo water tanks, used two old dustbins for potatoes, & we are also using a couple of old 44 gallon drums. You might also consider sourcing some old above ground swimming pools. Regards, Keith.

Most hikers and campers have at least one torn and tattered piece of gear they refuse to let go. Those are the items that tell the stories of what we’ve seen, where we’ve been, and the muddy canyons and thorny bushes we’ve gone through to get there. But just because a beloved jacket or tent has...

Maybe back in the day it was named a river TeeDee, there was more water flowing in it. Land changes such as housing or housing estates can change the course of water flow, so perhaps this has changed the amount of run off from rain that is entering your river. Anyway, like I said, I think you...

Mate you are extremely lucky to have access to this water source, though I agree, it does look more like a creek than a river. It seems that the definition of a creek or river differs in different countries, I see no clear definition of either. River vs. Creek A river is a natural steam...

Well there was a time when I could have given you some ideas as to where to go, but I left the UK because it was changing such a lot, & it will be a lot different again now since I was living there. I hear that Scotland still has some wild places. I came to Australia, worked hard, long hours...

If there are two adults, then one carries the child, & the other carries the pack. If you are the only adult, then you are going to have to carry both in one way or another, UNLESS, you purchase a hiking trolley, or use a pram. There are some decent "off road" type prams/pushers with larger...

You are most welcome. I also subscribed. My Video Channel in case you are interested. Regards, Keith.

Excellent video. Keith.

Thank you for the information Toddy, appreciated. I had not heard of the Falkirk Pot, so I looked it up. Reminds me more of a camp oven. Bit too heavy I guess to carry on foot :) Keith.

My long gun is a fusil. I do not use the pistol for anything, but as an 18th century living historian & experimental archaeologist it is part of the equipment I need to carry. Keith.

Thank you Kelly. Keith.

My belt pouch contains my angling equipment, My fire steel, my tinderbox in my fire bag, & my brass sundial compass. Keith.

I am no good at recommending modern packs, because I don't use one. My knapsack is plain & simple & not very large. I like plain & simple gear, uncomplicated gear. Here you can see I have added my half-age to my blanket roll as I have some heavier cutting work to do on this particular trip...

My copy of an 18th century brass trade kettle. I could not find an exact copy of an original, so I bought one & cut it down to size & made & fitted the correct bail lugs. The finished product is what you see above. The kettle & the wooden spoon is all I carry for cooking, I have my knives of...
