    Would you buy this app idea & if so, for how much?

    I think there's too many variables in nature to make the ID side of the app reliable, especially with fungi. It's always a good idea to cross reference your findings with at least 3 sources, spore samples etc. I think it would be fine for obvious things like tree or plant ID tracking, knowledge...

    Mid Life Crisis question.

    No kids here either, it's just never interested us. We'll possibly regret it later in life but at least we'll have had a good time while we were young enough to enjoy it :)

    What IS the best bushcraft Jacket?

    I've had a couple of Bergans Morgedals made from Epic John, I didn't think they breathed as well as my ventile stuff. I carried a half empty Sabre 75 a few miles after a camp on Loch Sween last year, it was March time and I just had a Woolpower 200 top and the Morgedal on, by the time we got...

    Central Zipped Sleeping Bags

    Have a look at quilt options (either bought or a DIY job) before you splash that kind of money on a new bag, having all that insulation between you and the hammock is really a waste. You could get an nice underquilt to see you through the colder months and use your existing bag on top of you.
