I'm in Northampton and was planning to go out camping that Saturday anyway. Not aware of anything happening locally for Mors.

The person who started me on this journey, and this is controversial with some, was Bear Grylls. I loved watching his Born Survivor series so I got interested in survival which then led onto wild camping and Bushcraft and I have never looked back.

When it has a built in winter under blanket then yes :)

Well the main pocket gets mostly taken up by my Easyhammock Winter hammock which is quite large, I bought this bag so I could fit it inside as opposed to being strapped onto the back like my previous backpack. Plus these days I like to take some comfort items also like a chair and a mini table...

I really like the idea of a hot tent also but came to the same conclusion about it not really being needed in our part of the country to justify carrying the extra weight of not only the stove but whatever I was going to put it into. When I was keen on the idea I was looking at this...

I really like my Snugpak 100L Bergen. It's not canvas so comes in at only 2.4kg and has removable metal plates at the back so you don't get anything digging into your back as your carrying it. The lack of molle is slightly annoying but it's big enough to pack most of what I need inside and I...

Was out with Mike, itchiness has calmed down a bit but it was constant for days. I don't understand how they got past the clothing layers to actually bite us.

His e-mail is Shaun@northernoutdoorsuk.co.uk, it was him that did the mods for TA Outdoors. A mod I like the look of is removing the shoulder flaps and turning them into pockets inside the LavVu to store stuff. Ask for his price / mods list as he does more than what he just did for TA Outdoors.

Finding them for less than a tenner on both Amazon and Ebay. Sure there are some more expensive ones also. Start from £6 on ebay.

So had my first outing with this pack and gotta say im very impressed, well thought out placement of extra pockets. Fit's loads and due to the metal frame it doesn't feel uncomfortable. It's not canvas, it's not something your gonna be handing down to your kids and grand kids. It's been...

You do not need a chimney necesarily. These days you can get the pipe to just coming out of a wall, most installers I contacted offered this service. Cyprus Souvla always counts :)

Yes.....and no. We moved house at the start of the year and brought along our less than a year old gas cooker. It's only when we moved in we realised they had been using a standalone electric gas/hob and had taken that with them. As they were using electric there was no gas piped to the place...

Portable fire pit, 2/3 twig burners, mini gas stove, bigger gas stove for family camps, Firebox Gen 2, various hex type micro stoves. As with the comment above I would be shocked if anyone on here had less than 5 different solutions for cooking on.

I find regular sized mummy's too restrictive. Got myself a Corinthia Defence 4 which is very roomy in comparison. It's an army style bag designed to get into with your boots on so plenty of space. I usually put my cloths in the foot well so when I get up in the morning I am putting on warm...

Pulled the plug and bought it, hopefully I won't regret the lack of Molle on it. I figured at this size I can fit everything inside it anyway.

You may want to also consider the Nemo Tensor Insulated, the 2022 model has a 4.2 R value. Nemo don't get considered much in the UK but they are quite big in the US. When I was looking for a pad and the usual suspects came up I watched many youtube reviews and many of them prefer the Tensor for...

Thinking of buying the Snugpak 100L Bergen, does anyone have any experience of this and is able to provide any feedback? I understand it's been through a few versions with quality control issues so I am looking for feedback from anyone who bought one from 2019 onwards. I am open to alternative...

My closed foam air pad got ripped off my backpack while moving through brush and i never found it again.

As the saying goes, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do"....When you see pictures of the people who live in extreme heat in the deserts they are not in a T-shirt and shorts but are covered from head to toe to stop the sun beaming down on their skin and heating them up. It's not normally an issue...

Bought a house in January whose owner has let the garden grow wild and was full of them. Have spent a good 10 hours plus trying to pull them all up and i'm not done yet. Need to get to them by September when the seeds get dispersed as they spread so quick all my efforts so far would have been in...
