Sunlight will kill mould on canvas Max, just leave it out in the sun. Always try & let your shelter dry out before repacking. Keith.

You don't say if it is a cooking kettle or a tea kettle. If it is a cooking kettle it is okay to use providing you do not cook any acidic foods that will leach the copper. A tea kettle is fine for just boiling water bigbear. I use a brass cooking kettle for food & water, but it is tin lined. Keith.

We have used comfrey & nettles to make liquid fertilizer prc, also good in the compost, & comfrey can be used in composting toilets & ash can toilets. Keith.

I know what you mean cipherdias, I don't like sleeping bags either. I have always just used an oilcloth shelter, I like to have it open so I can see all around. Also I light my fire close to the shelter so that I can get some warmth & cook or boil water without having to leave my shelter. I...

My youngest son has one Allison but he has not set it up yet. Good for people who want or need to grow their own food but don't have the time. Regards, Keith.

These truck tie downs cost anything from $3 to $50 & upward. They come in a couple of sizes, narrow ones for light trucks, & wider commercial models. They work very well, I have a bag full of them. Keith.

How about a truck tie-down strap Jakob? I don't think they are expensive. Regards, Keith.

Surely it is no great hardship to dig a toilet hole, a fairly deep one, not a scratching of the surface. Just bury it, toilet paper as well. Since when has this not been common practice?! Keith.

Meja, may I suggest that you get a roof rack for the car. This will give you more room for the tent, & tied to the roof rack it will help dry it out on the way home, providing of course it is not raining. When you get home you can spread the tent out over your roof rack to dry further, make sure...

The only help I need is for campers not to litter, leave the area just as they found it, be safe with camp fires, & report to me if they see any trespassing, find any broken fencing, see any feral animals. Though right now I do have a composting toilet bucket that needs changing, any helpers? :)...

I am a land owner Alistair, & I would prefer it if you fronted up at my house & asked me personally face to face. Check out the farms in your area, they will likely also know the owners to adjacent land/forests. Regards, Keith.

Good day Eli. My knapsack started off as a haversack many years ago, my wife made it for me. I found it did not do what I wanted, so I converted it into a knapsack. I did the same for two of my sons, using second hand cotton haversacks made in China. I do not carry a lot of gear, I don't need...

Crow bar & a post hole shovel. Keith.

Go for Sheepskin Henchy, better than goatskin. Same as a pure sheep wool blanket is the best for retaining warmth even when wet. A close friend of mine used two of these skins, to which he sewed canvas to the skin side. But if you are not placing them directly on the earth, you don't have to...

I suggest a two person crosscut saw or a felling axe Paul. Good exercise :) Regards, Keith.

It is not always that wire is attached to a tree by someone, I have trees here that have grown up next to a fence & the trunk has grown around the wire. I have seen bicycles in the trunks of trees. Keith.
