It'll take another year to find out for sure - but I wonder if this can be the year when I break the habit of taking way to much stuff! Of course, it could equally be the year when I decide that my truck is too small! Stiff upper lips everyone, we'll be back in the woods soon!

* I can only commit to the weekend option, and even then, may have to cry off at short notice due to a growing project in work - but it is quite local so I can get along for a few hours if that's all I can manage. It'll be good to get to know some local members.

https://outhaus.co/swags-tents/factory-seconds/ Outhaus have some factory seconds of their "Palmerston Swag" available. From reading elsewhere, there are 2 issues; First is a seam that is not fully waterproofed Second is an eyelet that needs to be moved to allow the poles to be used correctly...

I read a few books and did the standard Youtube research to get the basic principle, but made it out of what was to hand - main body was from 2" galvanized iron gas pipe, with a few bits bodged to fit, made my own leaf spring and plate valve, used a stainless steel filter housing as the riser /...

Ram pumps - I built one about 15-ish years ago and it still sits in the stream bed on the edge of our land. Built from scrap that was being thrown away from a place I worked, it take its in-feed through a 1 inch iron pipe at about 6 feet head pressure - and can pull about a ton of water per 24...

Thank you TDA, I hope you find something suitable soon. With thanks.

Second dibs if TDA doesn't want it please. PM to follow

Seems like the sort of place where someone might know where to buy a reasonable pemmican - all I can find so far are recipes to make my own. That might become the case in the future but for now, I'm looking to buy. UK based if possible. Any ideas?
