Alas that's the way the cars are going now, I've had to buy a dongle just to tell my car I've serviced it. They're too smart for their own good.

I'd recommend a Bahco SL25 kit, or imperial alternative. It's compact and bijoux but will do you for what you need for 90% of road side fixable issues. things like changing light bulbs, tightening up alternator belts, and removing hoses to ducktape. If there's something you can't do with that...

Not sure if you've figured this one out but you can get a better fill in the bergan with the sleeping bag if you "spin" it. Put the sleeping bag in the bivvy bag then grab both by the foot end and twirl it until you end up with a twisted tube, this will conform to the shape of the bottom of your...

Gone to TeeDee, apologies for the delay, I didn't look at my computer yesterday.

As the water bottle and carrier have gone like hot cakes, I'd like to offer up an alternative. I've got a Condor H20 pouch, it's a fairly ubiquitous design, with plenty of space for a swiss volcano stove or a pathfinder stove, little zippy pouch on front (fits 6 dragon fire gel blocks). The...

How does one put up a PDF? I've got a fantastic Dutch oven cookbook but I can't see the best way to share it.

This was the nacho dip we made last weekend with Free from soft cheese, mozzarella, Gouda, a teaspoon of chopped smoked garlic and a teaspoon of jalapenos. It was marvellous.

I'm scooting early to get back to the baby. Thanks for last night, it was great fun, just the break I needed. Looking forward to next time. Sent from my SM-G981B using Tapatalk

Glad you managed to get it out. With the electrolytes, it's handy to keep a small plastic bottle that you can prepare the drink in, if memory serves the evian bottles are designed to crumble down. One thing to be cautious of is just downing the bladder in a short amount of time, I've certainly...

It looks like a copy of the old desert issue one, if so you can remove the bladder by working the handle and opening into the bag then pulling it out through the zippered opening. Once out you can shove it in another daysack. The issue pack had a notch surrounding the filling port which allows...

I've just dropped some canvas to a local seamstress to make a couple of portable stools, ala woodland ways: https://www.woodland-ways.co.uk/blog/bushcraft-other/make-your-own-portable-stool/

I am glad to see the priorities for walkers, cyclists, and horses laid out nicely in the new code. I know there can be friction between the users but I have to say the cyclists where I walk are great, they call out at the top of the hill and thank you if the see you bringing your dog to heel.

Fines are all well and good providing you could actually get police support to carry out the fines but they're spread thin in urban areas as it is. The rangers are there to manage the area and, given the threats I've seen to water bailiffs, I wouldn't want my wife to be asked to fine people.

Good Afternoon All, During my afternoon dog walks, I often let the dog set the route and just follow behind, this usually results in me following animal trails around the woods and seeing what we find along the way. I've spotted quite a few deer in the woods and there's three spots that look to...

If you want to wear my pink lacework in the field be my guest.

I've always used them as dhobi bags, if there's a group of you that need to wash your smalls it's easier to put them in a bag and then throw them in an oil barrel of water and persil and churn away, it saves you accidentally putting on your mates underwear.

Wouldn't it be really absorbent? I've only every used chamois leathers to clean cars with, though it's absorbency may lead to it taking a waterproofing agent really well (Lanolin?)

Have a look at the cycling jackets, they're nice and light and pack small enough to fit in the kidney pockets. They're unlikely to have hoods so a skull cap may be the solution, the jackets don't cost the earth either. https://www.wiggle.co.uk/alpinestars-kicker-pack-cycling-jacket

As an aside there was chat of doing some M&C lessons last time I was at the meet, did these happen? If not I'll bring some maps and we can go through the basics in the evening.
