    Planning Galloway Forest

    There is no fire ban law in Scotland at any time of year. Likely where you camp you will have an established fire pit, bring logs with you

    Folding fryingpan DIY

    I’ve been using a Stabilo therm hunting pan with folding handle for some time, can’t see it ever wearing out as it’s steel, once seasoned is perfect. Stainless plates and pans just don’t take a film of seasoning like a steel/iron pan.

    Got this pack a year ago, new and unused, was still thinking what to do with it as I have other packs that are more modern. Decided to source more straps and then I might wax it up, so I gave it a go. It turned out quite easy to do using two cans of spray wax from Hoggs. It’s nice genuine...
