    I was given a dd hammocks magic blanket. That has become a really useful and very lightweight groundsheet for sleeping out.

    Building in a failure point - Tarps

    I have used tightly wound inner tube round doubled over paracord as a “weak” point in anything round my neck (to avoid being garrotted). It might work as part of a tarp line set up.

    Alpkit Ventile

    I have no direct experience of this jacket. Looking at it, however, I am not keen on the cut. For thrashing around in the woods, I like lots of large pockets and a loose cut to allow for layers. I have used a Westwinds Ventile for several years and love it. Unfortunately I have lost my Covid...

    I like my smaller stainless steel Pathfinder pot - basically a Mors pot in stainless. It will hold a small stove + a gas cylinder + quite a few packets of dried food (depending on how forcefully you pack them, of course). Its features of a pair of folding handles - large enough to use while...

    Outdoor Toileting Best Practice

    Great discussion and lots of useful information/ advice. I bought a copy of “How to **** in the Woods” decades ago when I lived in Canada. It has been a very useful guide and one I’d recommend. The Ray Mears / Paul Kirtley / Scout idea of a secluded trench for groups or longer stays seems to...

    Berghaus Munro? Sabre 30? Cuillin 2? So many daypacks...

    Interesting discussion. I have a Sabre 45 + side pockets that I like for longer trips. Just before Lockdown One I found a Predator 30 on ebay for a very good price and that's a useful bag for hoofing around. I've used it regularly for about a year volunteering as a camera trap setter and it's...
