    Best Concerts Youve Ever Been Too

    As a sister thread to what are you listening too now, I thought I would post this as a thread myself. Could be the best / worst concert you've ever been too.. How many times have you listened to a band live? Anything really. Best concert I ever saw is a split between Peter Frampton supporting...

    WHAT DID YOU MAKE TODAY?

    Been there several times. Absolutely loved it. I know the film is based on a Welsh regiment but that wasn't actually true. {even though I'm Welsh myself}. Apparently, the Zulu warriors didnt get into 100m of Rorkes Drift after the massacre at Islandua. After that, that's why so many Victoria...

    WHAT DID YOU MAKE TODAY?

    How did you guess . Garden is south facing so gets a lot of sun in the summer. Because our garden is split on two levels (decking at the top and believe me Ronseal does not do what it says on the tin, have to apply it every year which is my next job) the grassed area turns into a bog and it's a...

    Am I carrying too much gear.

    Bloody good idea and the same thinking as me. Looking to take the pack out for short walks to get used to it again. I'm 13 stone in the winter and drop to 12.5 in the summer when I'm working on the garden and regain my fitness .

    Laguiole - what is it about them?

    You can never have too many knives Brizzlebush. I actually own a set of Laguiole steak knives for home use. Excellent quality.

    Am I carrying too much gear.

    I'm from Bridgend s Wales so about a total 2 hour walk from my house to Merthyr Mawr dunes. Can catch a bus from where I am down as close as possible. Could drive down but you probably know what parking is like in Candelston

    Am I carrying too much gear.

    Ok I'm absolutely amazed at this but I've just weighed my kit bag fully loaded without food or spare clothing and it only comes to 13 kg. Maybe I'm not as fit as I used to be

    Getting away for the weekend.

    I tend to use an Opinel no 8 for food prep. Probably a different thread of bacho Laplander v silky. I prefer the lapander because it's push pull cut. Still time to order off Amazon or not?

    Am I carrying too much gear.

    Same as me. I wouldn't call myself a bushcraft trainer. Probably more intermediate. Been doing this since I was kid and I'm 54 now.i was brought up in forests as my playground at the age of 10.

    Am I carrying too much gear.

    As Hermon said it's probably a cultural thing. If I'm going to ditch most of the cooking stoves how would I baton, make fire sticks, whittle and so on. No disrespect because knives have a bad reputation these days. I don't carry an axe (see one of my previous threads) so this is my primary...
