    BCUK not available on Android

    Ok. So you have the root certificate installed in Android. It didn't come preinstalled until version 7.1.1 At a loss then. BushcraftUK appears to be doing everything correctly, that could potentially trip up older Android devices. https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=bushcraftuk.com

    BCUK not available on Android

    Make sure the android has the correct date/time. That can cause certificate authentication problems. Does https://valid-isrgrootx1.letsencrypt.org/ have the same problem? That might indicate the Let's Encrypt root certificate is missing, which is possible for versions of Android prior to 7.1.1.

    No heat instant/emergency food?

    Wasn't saying she was reckless. But think she would have benefitted with the mental aspect. Like having bad thoughts when the helicopter left. She just needs a win, doesn't matter wether it's solo or not, and can always try a solo after.
