Wayne makes them, I really need him to show me how later on.

I think you're right, it scares me sometimes how my wife's nephews wear clothes purely for the name that serve no practical purpose at all and then complain they're uncomfortable. I think knowledge of how to be comfortable in different conditions, including urban, is quite important. I fully...

The bulk of my kit stays the same it's generally just swapping in a different sleeping bag and then a few more layers for warmth. I'd still bring my thin merino hat but I'd probably throw in a larger warmer one as well. I'd add an extra jumper and probably some thicker trousers, my actual kit in...

I'm a tech geek at heart and I do like gadgets. Saying that I also enjoy getting away without tech so I can appeciate both sides of the argument here. If I'm hiking I'll always carry my Silva compass and map rather than rely on electronics. That doesn't mean I'll not have them with me, I've used...

We often try to make some of our Christmas presents each year, partly for cost but also I think it's nice to have that personal touch. I'm currently working on a set of Cherry teaspoons and a ladle but what other ideas suggestions have you got. Pictures welcome :D

The first few times you do that it's definitely a job to sit somewhere comfortable with a pad and a pencil and try and visualise how much someone will eat. You'll find you're not too far off the mark as some will eat more some less. I've catered for 60 students on a DofE training weekend plus...

Good read so far. Cheers for that, looking forward to the next installment. They should make you prep the deer with flint, did that once and it works really well. It was the cleaning our hands with alcohol gel afterwards that I won't forget in a hurry... flint tends to leave lots of little nicks...

Congrats mate, it does open up the world, I really enjoy driving. :drive:

:hilarious::lmao: I really shouldn't read stuff like that at work, everyone wonders what I'm laughing at. Brilliant! :lmao:

I'll try and get a picture of the setup if it's of any help. This is the 'flight deck' I use though.https://www.alpkit.com/products/kanga

What are you using for the bar bag? I've got panniers on my Trek Portland but recently fitted a 'flightdeck' setup to my mountain bike using Alpkits range. really impressed with it. I was out the other day on a DofE exped and used the bike to get around the New Forest, had my kit on the...

Sounds great, I'd love to have the time but next year is definitely out. Looking forward to seeing the planning and hearing the stories though.

Welcome to the site. Yell if you have any questions, a few of us here work with the children both indoors and outside so always looking at sharing skills and information.

Welcome back, hopefully the new site look won't scare you off too much :)

Welcome to the forums.

It just be me but briquettes always seem a bit like cheating with this, I fully understand if you're cooking for groups of people it's predictable but does seem to lack a certain something.

My students from last year recently presented me with a large wooden board where they'd all spent time listing the ways I'd improved their lives and thanking me for the work I'd put in. I'm just trying to figure out where to hang it from now.

For me it's temperature control to get reproducible results. I've baked cakes and bread, cooked roast dinners, lasagne, pizza, etc but every time is slightly different. I need the practice to get a consistent heat each time.

I'll have a look. There is a dark version of this theme but before I install it I need to make sure it takes the settings from the parent theme, otherwise it's back to editing multiple themes.

I quite fancy a Schrade Old Timer Splinter for a bit of whittling practice when out and about. I'm also looking for some wireless headphones for running with, maybe a canvas style day bag that's slightly more discreet than yellow Osprey.
