    Sorry to hear that. Thoughts with the family. I have also had a couple of sudden heart attacks. None have taken me yet and for that I consider myself to be incredibly lucky. OLO www.onelifeoverland.com //probably typed on mobile so please excuse typos!

    Hey all, Thanks for that. @SaraR especially for taking the time to write all that. Are you a Swedish resident, intrigued as to why your are biased :) @Herman30 as is the case for most parts of the world these days, sadly. I am a seasoned traveller though so happy I have my personal security...

    Lightweightish Lidl/Aldi menu for 5 days

    5 days of food? Thats tricky. Generally go dry as much as possible in order to reduce weight but for that to work you must have a constant supply of water. Carry extra water and you outweigh the advantages of carrying dry. Stick with high carb and high protein foods so you get all the...

    Best brand of axe?

    Regardless of what you want it for. Probably to sit nicely against your selection of blades [emoji3] You'll not go far wrong with a Hultafors, good selection of sizes and weights and at their price point IMHO they are unbeatable quality. OLO www.onelifeoverland.com //probably typed on mobile...

    Sold Selling the Campervan

    Hey all, I know this isn't really the kind of forum where I will get much interest but thought I'd give it a shot anyway. Selling my campervan as we have decided to go back to an expedition trailer. The campervan is convenient but not as much fun as a tent. Its for sale for £3,750 or nearest...

    Tea Coffee Sugar. How do you carry yours?

    Ferro Rod Thingys.

    The bigger the better for me in terms of ferro rod. I find having a stable platform to perch the bottom of the rod on whilst still having enough surface area to spray a good shower of sparks over my tinder works best for me. I think me ferrocirium rod of choice is about 130mm long including...

    Tea Coffee Sugar. How do you carry yours?

    After some ideas for tea, coffee, sugar carrier/holders. Currently I use some round tins which I keep in an old Powertraveller pouch. Anyone got any better ways of carrying all 3 together? In a neat compact package? OLO www.onelifeoverland.com //probably typed on mobile so please excuse typos!

    Bug ID - T shaped!

    Over the years have seen the odd one of these in the house and never really got around to ID'ing. They don't seem to move much and then when they do they're gone. What are they? OLO www.onelifeoverland.com //probably typed on mobile so please excuse typos!

    Bivi Bag with Zip Recomendations

    Hi ya'll, As per title really. I'm in the market for a new bivi bag, ideally I'd like it to have some sort of waterproof zipper (or have large enough entry to make access easy whilst sat underneath a tarp), be light, packs down small and spacious. I don't want anything heavy or with hoops...
