Much appreciated BearBait, whilst this looks a little beyond me at my present experience, its great to see so many people completing trips like this. Also useful to know about the possibility of being eaten alive by mozzies, will definitely be packing something heavy duty when I'm there. Is...

Sounding like there plenty of options available, hoping to complete about a 10 to 12 day trip during or just before the summer of 2026. Do you have a website for your trips? Many thanks LTDansLegs

Hi Broch Certainly for a shorter trip I would consider going as part of a organized group, but I feel something can be said for solo traveling as well. As I said, all hypothetical at the minute, and I may end up going with a couple of mates, just wanting some information first. Many thanks...

How do all I realize long distance and beginner don't pair easily, but I've recently watch a lot of vides by Jim Baird of the Adventure Co () and would love to emulate this kind of long distance, wilderness Travel. Hoping to plan this in for 2026, so plenty of time to organize and build up...

Brilliant, think mine is of a similar size so should be fine. Many thanks LTDandsLegs

Good to know. Curious as to the blade length of the Bushlore, as the 9knife I want to bring is similar in style? Many thanks LTDansLegs

Slightly off topic but does anyone have any firm information on the knife laws in Sweden? For the canoe/camping trip id like to take one of my knives to use whilst I'm there, but unsure of the legalities. Any information would be gratefully received. Many thanks LTDansLegs

Thats good to hear, I had wondered what the difference would be between 3 and 4 season tents. Not planning any heavy snow camps just yet, so in theory the Conshee should be golden. Many thanks LTDansLegs

How do all Just wondering if there was any way to upgrade the Wild country Conshee 3, from 3 season into a 4 season tent? Love this tent and have used it for years, but plan on doing some more winter camping this year and would love to make sure it survives! I understand that a sheltered area...

How Do Off to Sweden next year to canoe the Daslands Lake district, wondering if anyone knew of anywhere selling maps of this region, rather than just online versions of maps? Many thanks LTDansLegs

Bought, just what I wanted. Many thanks LTDansLegs

This looks ideal. Many thanks LTDansLegs

How do all Just wondering if anyone knew of a good guide to edible fish in the UK, mainly to identify them? Intend on fishing for my supper on some camping trips in the future, but am unsure as to how to identify edible/tasty fish. Mostly lakes and lochs, but also river and sea fishing if...

Looks like a great option, cheap and cheerful. Shame that that it doesn't filter viruses, wondering if its worth forking out for a purifier, if I'll mostly be using it in the UK? If so, are there any decent options under £200? Don't really want to expend loads of fuel boiling water, and have...

Sounding like there is a time and a place for liquid fuel stoves, will have to check which one I have at home. Looking forward to doing some cooking over a fire next time I'm out and about, will hopefully only need the stove then as a backup :). Many thanks LTDansLegs

Good to know, ill have to check what kind of gas mix I've been using. So in theory I'm fine using gas no matter the weather in the UK, but for energy density I might be better off with liquid fuels? I intend to do some ultra light camping in the future and so knowing which fuel source is the...

I've heard that in some conditions, such as extreme cold, that gas does not work well at all. I wondered if Liquid fuel also had this weakness, or if it would be more appropriate for colder climates. I've almost always used gas (Meths used very occasionally) and never had any issues, even on...

How do all Just wondering when it would be appropriate to use a liquid fuel cannister (pumped up to a gaseous form), as opposed to a regular camping gas cannister? Almost always use a gas cannister when camping, but do have the kit for the liquid based stoves (unsure of the correct term)...

Hi Broch Many thanks for the reply, good to know air bags can vary in size. All the ones I've seen so far have pretty much filled the front and rear of the canoe. Smaller airbags sound the business, I have some experience emptying my kayak when tipped and filled with water and so as long as the...

Just wondering if its possible to store anything under an airbag when travelling, having the airbags raised above the top of the canoe? Just looks like the bags take up quite a bit of room and packing supplies on top of the air bags will raise my center of mass (reducing stability). When will I...
