Here's my way of doing Biltong.... I buy my steak from Lidl. I like the fat on it, so I don't cut it off as others have advised. Sling your meat in a glass dish that has a lid.... Sprinkle with your common malt vinegar. Don't make it swim, just coat it. Because I like to pretend I know...

I'm thinking of buying these Savotta straps, unpicking the thread from the leather straps and replacing them with the more modern ones. Thoughts...

Case diameter is 48mm mate.

I make my own biltong. I'll buy sirloin steak from Lidl at £3 odd each, or I'll buy a topside roast for about £8. I prefer buying the sirloin because I do like the fat on it. Method: Brush steaks with malt vinegar on both sides and put in a glass or plastic container. Liberally sprinkle all...

Resurrecting this thread! I've just got a Savotta 323. Took it for its first jaunt last weekend. Very, very nice pack. The shoulder straps need some thought though. For me, they sit too wide on my shoulders and the straps themselves aren't wide enough to spread the load. I'm thinking of...

@Springchicken I've sent you a PM ref the Savottta 323

Here's a video of my recent overnight trip in windy conditions.... Let me know what you think!

Alpkit numo. Been using mine for about two years now. Very good.

Most probably nylon due to keeping the weight down. I wouldn't use it for trekking, only in the woods so weight isn't so much of an issue. I have looked at the lavvu, it's something I'm considering....

But do you have a recommendation for a teepee though?

Does anyone have a recommendation for a budget teepee? I know we can make a small teepee from 3x3 DD tarp, but I'm looking for a sub £100 actual teepee that I can take on my little woodland trips. Thanks peeps.

I've been out quite a bit since my last post here, but not filmed or taken pictures. I kinda felt like I could put together another YT video. Again, no chatting or fancy music I'm afraid, it's not my style. Maybe I'll gain the confidence to speak on camera but what about ai wouldn't know! ...

Howdy. Been away a while. Only to come back and find out that the tapatalk app won't work? Something about an add-on feature? I've tried uninstalling then reinstalling the app but to no avail.... any ideas anyone?

Has anyone got a Platatac SPUR pack that they don't want and would like to sell? Sent from my SM-A546B using Tapatalk

If I'm in the woods or the hills, I'm there for the peace and solitude. I don't play music, and if I were to hear it I'd pack my kit away and bugger off elsewhere. To each their own, but to the OP... If you were in camp with others and you started playing your musical instrument, how would you...

Thanks for offer Tengu, but I've got a bit of OCD when it comes to my gear and it would have to be the original stuff sack for the bivvy bag! Sent from my SM-A546B using Tapatalk

Do u have a link to that kind of rod please? Sent from my SM-A546B using Tapatalk

I did this trek at the end of August, but have only just gotten round to writing it up. I followed the route of the 2022 Fjallraven Classic, my route totalled about 65km over 2 days and a morning. I drove up on the Friday after work. Eight and a half hours non-stop got me to the Linn of Dee...

How did your survival course go? What did you get up to? Did you go with the minimalist load out? Sent from my SM-A546B using Tapatalk

I lost the stuff sack to mine a while ago. Anyone got one per chance? Just the stuff sack! Sent from my SM-A546B using Tapatalk
