    Tarp teepee

    Most probably nylon due to keeping the weight down. I wouldn't use it for trekking, only in the woods so weight isn't so much of an issue. I have looked at the lavvu, it's something I'm considering....

    Tarp teepee

    Does anyone have a recommendation for a budget teepee? I know we can make a small teepee from 3x3 DD tarp, but I'm looking for a sub £100 actual teepee that I can take on my little woodland trips. Thanks peeps.

    Trip Report Wild Camp in the Brecklands

    I've been out quite a bit since my last post here, but not filmed or taken pictures. I kinda felt like I could put together another YT video. Again, no chatting or fancy music I'm afraid, it's not my style. Maybe I'll gain the confidence to speak on camera but what about ai wouldn't know! ...

    Music

    If I'm in the woods or the hills, I'm there for the peace and solitude. I don't play music, and if I were to hear it I'd pack my kit away and bugger off elsewhere. To each their own, but to the OP... If you were in camp with others and you started playing your musical instrument, how would you...

    I did this trek at the end of August, but have only just gotten round to writing it up. I followed the route of the 2022 Fjallraven Classic, my route totalled about 65km over 2 days and a morning. I drove up on the Friday after work. Eight and a half hours non-stop got me to the Linn of Dee...

    Hello Fresh / Gousto - Menu subscription services

    My wife and I had a good conversation this morning about our diets. Our way forward is she will continue to order Hello fresh for her. I will order organic steak for myself and just eat that for my evening meal. I've been going this way on and off for a while now, but I'm gonna fully commit to...

    There's never any leftovers from Hellofresh in our house. Most of the time (before I started having steak as a starter) I was left feeling like I could of eaten twice the portion size! [emoji1787] Sent from my SM-A546B using Tapatalk
