I'll take it. Pm me please. Thank you.

Ah ha! I made a book mark. Thanks to @C_Claycomb tutorial, I made this a while ago. It has been with me ever since. A handy little thing to have. Pretty in it's own way. I tapered one end and made a slight chisel point so it slides between pages easier.

As above, a bit of foam mat will do the job. Measure your dog when he's curled up and add 2in to get the right size. With the foam mat the dog probably won't need the dog bed either. Unless it's a Chinese hairless thing.....[emoji1787] Sent from my SM-A546B using Tapatalk

There's a sensible, objective view on it! The law empowers the police when approaching and dealing with people who carry such knives in the streets. There has to be a step forward in tackling knife crime. If I were stopped in the street and found in possession of a bladed article of any...

No, but I know with those places very well!

Yup. Me. South of Mansfield me though.[emoji1690]

About insurance...... any vehicle that isn't coach built (think 'propper motorhome) or built and marketed as a camper (think VW California) cannot be insured as a camper anymore. DVLA changed the rules. It can now only be insured as a 'Panel Van With Windows'. You'll have to look up the exact...

That's genius! I've never tried it! I'll deffo have a go at that [emoji109]

Oh man! You're in a good place! Lots of helpful guys around you. Well good luck! Give it a go and see what happens. Kids love little adventures so fingers crossed they'll be right there with you. And if they don't, we'll now you have your own adventure van to go explore by yourself! [emoji1690]

You have a shower in a medium sized van? That's impressive! I don't have pictures of my van, there's a thread on here from a while ago of a steak I cooked on the tail gate of my old pick up. That's about it [emoji38]

Fixed blade - cutting, batoning, butchery. Underwater knife fighting. Pocket knife - cutting, sawing, tinkering, fixing downed space craft.

It's totally feasible. There are loads of options out there for a work van/camper hybrid. It's how I lived for a long time. For a kitchen set up, again, there are loads of pod type options out there. They can be expensive, though. When I changed jobs and the family settled, I worked out of a...

Hey up! Here's a few links for using a mid sized van as a part time camper and a working van.... (based on a combi layout with no bulkhead). For your bed idea, I really (like, REALLY) recommend this guy. His build designs are phenomenal and really well thought out. And if they're not in your...

Oooh here we go! This thread is gonna be a big one! [emoji38] For me.... A Mora Companion HD (Carbon blade) or my SWC Woodlore. Deciding on which is simply a matter of which one I grab first off the shelf. But mostly, I carry the Woodie on my hip. In my pocket is a Victorinox Rangergrip 79...

I'll give it a clean and see what happens. Thanks guys.

I have noticed this year that I sometimes struggle to unscrew the lid on my trangia stove. I can't get enough grip on it. Does anyone have this problem? I think it's my grip strength in maybe something to do with the stove still being warm when I screw the lid back on? Any advice appreciated.

Good idea! I think there are loads of options available to you. Army surplus rucksack straps are widely available, and come to think of it, so are the frames. Think GS bergan (1980s style).... For a more modern (and lighter, more comfortable option) have a look at the DEI 1806MC frames here...

It's the heat stress over time that may have caused the leak. I can't recall exactly at what temp Aluminium begins to be affected, but over time direct heat onto Aluminium will cause it to weaken. If your kettle is 10+ years old, it's possible that continued exposure to direct heat has caused...

Aluminium?

- ear plugs if others are near by - a good meal at the end of the day - a warm hat and warm socks if it's cold I find that the first night's sleep outside is always a little disturbed, due to temp changes. I sleep very warm so I can over heat. I've never used a 'winter' sleeping bag, at most a...
