    I was thinking the same but luckily I don't think I've got anything of enough value :D

    What are good basic skills for our domesticated life?

    I agree with cooking, I taught myself through watching my mum and nans but would have liked someone to have shown me.

    Steam Tent Cooking Rig

    Fantastic setup, really impressed, I love the clockwork spit, I've not seen one of those before. You do know that we'll have lost Wayne now for the next month while he searches on eBay for one.

    What are good basic skills for our domesticated life?

    I think you're right, it scares me sometimes how my wife's nephews wear clothes purely for the name that serve no practical purpose at all and then complain they're uncomfortable. I think knowledge of how to be comfortable in different conditions, including urban, is quite important. I fully...

    Winter is coming. Is your kit load out changing with the season?

    The bulk of my kit stays the same it's generally just swapping in a different sleeping bag and then a few more layers for warmth. I'd still bring my thin merino hat but I'd probably throw in a larger warmer one as well. I'd add an extra jumper and probably some thicker trousers, my actual kit in...

    Device integration - are devices that merge any good?

    I'm a tech geek at heart and I do like gadgets. Saying that I also enjoy getting away without tech so I can appeciate both sides of the argument here. If I'm hiking I'll always carry my Silva compass and map rather than rely on electronics. That doesn't mean I'll not have them with me, I've used...

    Crafty Christmas Presents

    We often try to make some of our Christmas presents each year, partly for cost but also I think it's nice to have that personal touch. I'm currently working on a set of Cherry teaspoons and a ladle but what other ideas suggestions have you got. Pictures welcome :D

    The missing cooking skill

    The first few times you do that it's definitely a job to sit somewhere comfortable with a pad and a pencil and try and visualise how much someone will eat. You'll find you're not too far off the mark as some will eat more some less. I've catered for 60 students on a DofE training weekend plus...

    A Challenge The Hunter Gatherer Challenge 2017 (round two)

    Good read so far. Cheers for that, looking forward to the next installment. They should make you prep the deer with flint, did that once and it works really well. It was the cleaning our hands with alcohol gel afterwards that I won't forget in a hurry... flint tends to leave lots of little nicks...

    Cycle trip?

    What are you using for the bar bag? I've got panniers on my Trek Portland but recently fitted a 'flightdeck' setup to my mountain bike using Alpkits range. really impressed with it. I was out the other day on a DofE exped and used the bike to get around the New Forest, had my kit on the...
