    Cheapest produced jerky ?

    I make my own biltong. I'll buy sirloin steak from Lidl at £3 odd each, or I'll buy a topside roast for about £8. I prefer buying the sirloin because I do like the fat on it. Method: Brush steaks with malt vinegar on both sides and put in a glass or plastic container. Liberally sprinkle all...

    Modifications on Savotta 323

    Resurrecting this thread! I've just got a Savotta 323. Took it for its first jaunt last weekend. Very, very nice pack. The shoulder straps need some thought though. For me, they sit too wide on my shoulders and the straps themselves aren't wide enough to spread the load. I'm thinking of...

    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...
