    Budget merino wool

    The trouble with, especially cheaper merino wool is the horrendous issues of animal welfare that go along with it. Not for the faint hearted https://www.peta.org/issues/animals-used-for-clothing/wool-industry/mulesing/ BTW I use Merino but try and buy higher end if I can with some kinds of...

    Book recommendations for a bushcraft beginner

    I guess it depends which terrain type you are interested in. But for northern European environment you cannot beat Survival advantage by Andrew Lane. The one book that I constantly pull off the shelf, while others gather dust. Recommend A+++ ISBN-10: 0952282402 ISBN-13: 978-0952282402

    Lidl Heads Up

    You have a point rik, not sure what I would do...:D But small gas stove would be more than £5 (probably) and gas doesn't last for ever. This could be packed with fuel and with a well placed fire lighter ready to go, so minimal faffing to get it started. I reckon. Weather permitting :p

    Lidl Heads Up

    I was thinking the same thing. But size is 28cm high by 16 cm dia, so not for the backpack. But have been thinking about making a emergency kit for the car and this could fit the bill, like the fact that you can move it after its lit. (not recommeded but handy). Needs some holes for pot...
