    Definitely, old 70s/80s scrambler look is what I'm thinking, with the old army green colour the military Kwakers used to be. Sent from my VNE-LX1 using Tapatalk

    What did you buy today?

    Bought a bit of a project, taking the car when I go camping isn't ideal, having to leave it parked and walk miles to camp isn't something I'm comfortable with, so......... I bought a nearly 40 year old motorcycle, which is going to become the "Bush Bike" couple of minor repairs, some panniers...

    That's not humanising in my eyes, that's being a dog. Humanising is giving the dog the same status and permissions as the other humans in the household. All animals have a heirachy packs of dogs have alphas and betas. In my eyes the humans are the alphas, the dogs are lower an should understand...

    Losing Weight!

    My kit all in weighs 20kg, bag weighs 2 kg. I've been at this lark now too long to know what I will or won't need. Shelter water food fire, that's it. Anything other than that is not necessary and just a luxury IMHO.
