Decathlon has some pretty decent kit, I just bought a pair of cargo pants type for 25 quid.
They are pretty decent TBH the only negative is 100%cotton but for dry weather they are very good.
Decathlon have quite a broad range of clothing and equipment too.
I Have a really high quality wool...
Cotton is a pretty decent insulator unless it gets wet then you open your self up to a whole host of dramas from drying to heat loss, .

Most of the info I found is salt water is the way to go, my dentist also said not to over do it with too much salt or too frequently, only...
I guess I'm a bit lazy but I don't really do that much, I keep it clean and polish off any rust spots when I'm sharpening it that's about it.
I've never had a scenario where my knife/sheath has been wet and stored for long enough to start to corrode badly.
I have a fair bit of dull grey blade...
Just had 2 wisdom teeth out, and my dentist suggested the following.
Saltwater 3 times a day, after meals to dislodge any food particles and to promote healing.
Common agrimony, twice a day in-between meals to promote healing.

Some of the wilder camp sites are quite nice and gives you a safer environment to practice first and if dinner goes a bit south you can order in...

I have a couple of carbon steel pans and like them but you need to season them properly.

If the coating is even slightly too thick it will turn in to a sticky...
Petromax ovens are quite nice and they do lots of sizes and styles too.
