I'm really interested in this because I want to setup a studio in a place that doesn't have power, basically a modified shed - the only sticking point will be power for lights and charging. Nothing major, although heat might be a thing as well. I was thinking 12V car or caravan battery with one...

I saw too late that Trip Reports go here? But then this is a craft/art thing, so I'm confused and new here! So I didn't want to spam it twice, so thought some of you might like my four (so far, going to be at least 2 more) blogs about camping at Jurassic Parks - Holiday Parks that is, and the...

Jurassic Jaunt Part 4: Mupe Bay & Great Fossils of Rock Operation Mupe, Rob Halford’s Straight Double, some other fossils of rock, bunkers and lions.

Jurassic Jaunt Part 3- What’s a Sheep Lulworth with All MOD Cons? And then back to Lulworth…in part three, along with an unexpectedly noisy night, a lion retreat, mods and mupes and some more extreme watercolour.

Hi - I hope this is in the right area - didn't seem to fit photography and it's more traditional craft - watercolour and drawing with very old vintage (and some new) fountain pens! Didn't do any quill work on this trip...but I like to keep my art process old-fashioned ;-) I'm an artist and I...

"Good investment in the long run" - that's the issue, I don't have money to invest. I know the expensive stuff is better. But I don't have the money. Just after doing this, my computer died and needed £100 battery - was going to be £200+ but I did it myself. And I looked how much I spent on the...

That reminds me - do you or anyone know a good place to find pine tar soap in the UK that is a repellent? I did buy some from Wales, it smells good enough, but didn't seem to disturb the insects that much although I didn't get bitten, I wasn't gallumphing through the swamps or undergrowth so...

I can't answer your question but I also agree, I am planning another 'jaunt', it feels rather early to winter.

It's funny cos I was looking for grills for my Biolite/fire to cook sausages or bacon on...all very expensive, especially Titanium ones - and settled on a 5" £2 pizza cooking tray. Although smaller and stainless steel, it's stlll pretty light and I suspect it'll do the biz fine!

I will do - doing the DHL/tracking refresh atm. "Why isn't it here?" *refresh* /repeat

Sorry I mean tranverse not torsion (torsion is twisting isn't it?) - basically I mean bending - cross forces against where the fibres are laid? True the cheaper carbon wouldn't be as good. The Trailbuddy poles I got have had reviews online of people using them for 60 mile hikes without...

Yes I'm only using it as a tent protector if that makes sense? The tent I got has an inner bit that is sealed (hopefully), so the groundsheet will be just double protection. I don't do well with bugs, so hence bivvy or groundsheet plus tarp/fly sheet is a hard NO. Small spiders are OK, I just...

I didn't do that because I read the recommendations here, and they were quite often 'buy the expensive thing!' which might be great for some, but I cannot afford that. I did my research though, but am taking a risk with chinese gear (which indeed was I think a recommendation of yours, that the...

Eek. I could never do that. I'd rather drink Coca Cola than do that!

I am walking along the coast, which even in Swanage/Weymouth area usually meant a 1-2 mile hike for coffee. I'm expecting as I get further down past Lyme Regis that will be rarer, especially out of season. And tbh in the morning you just want coffee there and then, be it coffee in the light...

Sorry not a sale - but more vouching for the product - those are really good, I have one! Keep things warm for 24 hours, hot for about 6-8, even longer if you preheat it.

So I have dived into the world of ultralight(ish) camping....just ordered some Trailbuddy trekking poles - that's the ish, I went for aluminium since I don't trust the carbon fibre and don't have the £££ for the best ones, a chinese UL 4 season tent and some err, Duck Max window shrink fit as a...

Actually drum and bass would be an improvement to the terrible music people play loud! As a sort of former DJ and current music podcaster, I have actually shouted requests and critiques at people playing music loud - for if you put YOUR music in my personal space, don't expect ME not to...

Agreed. I saw this list on an old thread: https://www.ultralightoutdoorgear.co.uk/the-15lb-base-weight-gear-list-i1401 And I was like - why so much duplication? A bowl AND mess tins? 3 water bottles? 2 headlamps? A sit mat AND a pillow (you can use one for both...shock horror!). 2 flints? Eh...
