    And if it's anything like the two I have the misfortune to own, no scissors! :wink:

    Recommendations for tent / nerves

    I've only been camping for about 36 years and I'm still learning! You're on the right track with going to try before you buy, trouble is some good options aren't sold in shops. Check out the Lanshan 2 (standard or pro), especially if you use trekking poles, as it uses them for support instead...

    Survival Knife - Ursus Cub vs Vigtig v Wild

    Check out the Hultafors GK too, £5 for such a bombproof tool! I keep a couple in vehicle kits for when a day out turns into an overnighter/weekender. The main thing to consider is providing safe drinking water for the family so a couple of water filters would be a better spend in my opinion.

    Why a Swiss Army Knife.

    Pretty much my way of doing things too. Fix the thing and carry on enjoying the day. I like Victorinox knives so I always have at least one on me but I carry multiple tools to help fix/adjust/pillage the parts that keep my old vehicles running. Some combo of what's below. Sounds like yours is...

    Why a Swiss Army Knife.

    Too many reasons to list, some practical, some personal. Best way to find out would be to stick one in you're pocket.

    Hammock advice/ tips

    Just saw the same ones on Amzn and they're still only £14, albeit minus the tarp these days but still a cracking deal.

    Hammock advice/ tips

    Hammocks rock! I have a basic Decathlon one for sitting/lounging in when I'm in the woods/garden. Cost about a tenner, years ago mind. For trips/touring I use a cheap Amzn one, abt £13 when I bought it, complete with tree huggers and a fairly decent 7' x 9' tarp. The main feature though has to...

    Swiss Army Knife - Cherry Popping

    Are you set on a SAK? If so OH Forester would fit the bill. I have a spare unused one I'd sell, save you a few quid. Have a look at the Roxon Flex Companion. The tools are removable and can be replaced with options to suit your needs for the day. They have no nail nicks, just a small deployment...

    Kelly, Ghillie, Volcano type kettles, any advice on which to buy ?

    I like the sound o that. Not sure I would give space to something that only boils water, as opposed to my kettle/pot that I cook in too. Used them in large groups but they were huge, not really packable.
