My Kayacat finally arrived today and, somewhat embarrassingly, I actually had to download the assembly video to work out how this one goes together. Hopefully there will be some better weather either later in the week or at the weekend and I will get it reassembled and out on the water for a...

The Kickstarter was successful so once I get it I'll try and post a review. This should be sometime around during the start Oct. but Kickstarters are renowned for late delivery. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

After looking at various options for personal watercraft I have decided to back the Kayacat Kickstarter campaign. http://kayacat.com/ What I wanted was a multipurpose vessel which was suited to being transported on my maxi-scooter. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

I have just taken delivery of a new DD Hammocks ultralight hammock and bug net. Now my intention is to use this in conjunction with my UK Hammocks top and under quilts. Whilst playing around with it on my indoor hang last night it wasn't clear if hanging the under quilt inside or outside the bug...

I would be very keen if you want the input of a complete novice (well it will seem that way. I did do some bushcraft as a scout but that was nearly 30 years ago). Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2

I have a biolite stove and really like it. It does take a lot of burn time to charge my phone but that is more to do with the battery requirements of current smartphones than anything else. As a stove it can sometimes be a little hard to control heating rate whilst cooking but that seems to be...

I got asked a few years back to make a batch of mead for a freinds medieval style wedding. Given that they asked for 5 gallons I must admit to using Asda smart price honey. Took something like 19 tubs and a fair bit of patience just transfering it all into the fermenter. Thankfully it turned...

A fairly standard woodland 360-180º pano stitched with Hugin. This is the same image remapped using the flaming pear, flexify 2 filters in photoshop. Although a somewhat strange view I find it more pleasing. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2

Sorry I was talking rubbish earlier my second lens is actually a 28-300, I traded in the 70-200 when buying it. In my defence I barely use now as I've been principal playing with 360-180º panoramas for the last year hence the pano tripod head. Re: the 55-250mm if its the Canon EF-S 55-250mm...

Personally I would go for seperate lenses for landscape and wildlife on the DSLR and put up with the weight and bulk. When I take the camera anywhere it does add about 6kg by the time I have spare batteries, tripod, an additional panoramic tripod head etc. As I'm a photography rebel and use...

Hi Harvey, I'm fairly green, or is that rusty, myself not having done any bushcraft/survival stuff for 20+ years but would love to be involved. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2

I purchased one a couple of weeks ago through Amazon.co.uk, or at least a marketplace partner Mylable, for £130 but doing so that way allowed me to use some Amazon gift certificates. Haven't used it for charging anything yet but have done a few successful test burns. I found it takes some...
