Being as I am dependent upon half a dozen medications every day, I might as well give in to the apocalypse.

If you are talking Vango, the Vango blade is not bad in my opinion, you can pitch it in one, just thread the single pole through and you are done.

I know I am getting political here, but I believe it is time that the "rights" or the rather wrongs of landowners like him were curtailed, land is for all not for profit. He only wants to raise grouse so fat cats can pay a fortune to shoot at them and mostly miss. Obviously peasants get in the...

It would be nice if they were compulsorily purchased off the moor.

Four poster bed, draw the curtains to keep the draughts out and an old fashioned stone water bottle. The worst here is being in the top flat with a flat roof there is not a lot above me to keep the heat from escaping. They are supposed to be putting a new roof on soon (whenever that happens)...

Well they don't come much more wrinkly than I, but naturism does have it's fanatics, I can remember once upon a time in the Coventry precinct going about my honest business when I came accross Vincent Bethel in his prime, starkers up a lampost, pretty it was not!

When it is warm I sleep in the buff or in my underpants, the merino only comes out when I need an extra layer.

Can't really see that either unless they are supposed to empathise with all those nude models, however they(the visitors) are being stared at are they?

I guess I can look a bit of a sight on my allotment on those hot summer days that permit it, wearing a skimpy pair of running shorts but also a pair of wellies or thick long socks and boots cos you do need some protection from nettles and stuff. I am also not known never to have gone skinny...

Make your own, there are lots of ways to do it from using plastic pipe and plumbing accessories to a bit of woodwork.

I have a little toothpick, I like the aesthetic, but it is useful for package opening, string cutting, making holes in things and I have used it for cutting leather so it does hold an edge, never mind everything I have said in the past about made in China.

Kelly kettles are a fine thing if it is tea you want or hot water for washing etc, but basically that is all they are, a quick and dirty water heater. Gas is very convenient but I have gone off it for environmental reasons, which leaves meths basically, you really can't go wrong with a Trangia...

If an Englishman were to buy it from you in a private sale, and you were to hand it over to him and he were to take it down south over the border, would either of you have committed an offence in Scotland or in England?

Anyone who has ever had a classic Land Rover will know all about that.

In my experience it is very hard to kill a willow, it is also hard to know what species you are dealing with because it hybridises so easily. Most of what I deal with is crack willow, you can tell that by the way the branches and twigs break off, which is part of their survival strategy as they...

Depends on what you are doing, and how long you want it to last. I go the bulletproof route for working on my allotment and maintaining my bramble infested woodland but for a summer hike I'll go lightweight. My camping set up is definitely bullet proof and then some but I shift it all in the...

My ventile trousers are in anything but mint condition, they do attract the mud and now have charcoal stains I can't get out. On the whole in summer I prefer to wear shorts as my legs dry more quickly than my trousers and I seem to be warm enough if my top half is covered. I do of course have a...

A bit off topic, but I was watching this the other week not a couple of hundred yards from where I used to climb trees as a nipper https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1jl3r62kkeo
