    What's the Snow like in your neck of the wood's?

    Wow! after about twenty attempts I finally managed to post a photo! My bed for the night last night, it was great. According to the met office it was minus 3 with 24 mph winds, for a windchill factor of minus 10, I was cozy. I've always wanted to try sleeping out just with a bivvy bag in...

    This. Enough on the front lawn to make a half decent "snow grave" to sleep in though. Yes, yes I did.

    Are you making any plans for the Snow?

    Just got back from a lovely little 4 mile jaunt over the hills; waist deep drifts, whiteout conditions (briefly), genuinely quite chilly at times, awesome! Stay safe and enjoy it whilst it lasts is my advice. Cheers, Stuart.

    Funny sounds

    There's a bushcraft forum that I visit, sometimes reading through the latest posts it sounds very much like something else :)

    I owe the forum an explanation.

    Maybe not exactly how I'd have phrased it myself mate but I certainly agree with the sentiment.

    Best wishes Mark. I've had my own battles with depression and anxiety over the years, some I've won and some I've lost, but currently the war's going well for me, I hope that yours is too. All the best, Stuart.

    Trip Report An actual, full on, wild camp, in the wild?

    Cool trip report, just had a glance through your YouTube channel..... I'm pretty sure that your camp's really close to mine. Awesome to see someone getting out locally, give me a shout if ever you fancy any company. Cheers, Stuart.

    one strand knotting

    Thanks for that. Hanging things from a hanging line under a tarp would be a good use for these I think, thanks for the idea.

    one strand knotting

    That adjustable loop looks great, I can imagine it being really useful, although off the top of my head I'm not sure what for.

    Sheila wont give up

    In a dogsled being a wheelchair user is no different to you or I, we're all just tucked in with lots of blankets, I don't see why the same approach wouldn't work in a wheelchair. Warm boots (maybe down booties or similar) normal clothes (layers of wool and fleece, down/lofting synthetics don't...

    Coffee Cups

    I work in a warehouse, in the same warehouse there are people packing pre-prepared vegetables, we're not allowed ceramics or glass as they could break and cause contamination (20 feet away, through a closed door). We're not allowed phones or watches for the same reason.
