    Down sleeping bags, advice please

    I'm after a new sleeping bag this year. My current one (synthetic fill snugpak TSB) takes up so much room in my 70l bags, that I'm struggling to fit the other kit. From what I have seen on YouTube, down fill bags compress really small, but give as good as synthetic if not better. In my...

    Vegetarian/vegan camp food?

    Triage system, start phoning at 8 am, on hold till 9am, by the time the receptionist answers, " Sorry all appointments are taken today, please call back tomorrow" Not meaning to drag off topic, but NHS in Wales is not the best or most reliable. Just before Christmas on the local news there...

    Vegetarian/vegan camp food?

    Edit: I used the wrong term. I have been an omnivore all my life, I used the term carnivore As that's what I'm used to being called by others of a different palate. Same as I have been called a lot worse for eating meat. Sent from my SM-N981B using Tapatalk

    Vegetarian/vegan camp food?

    Folks, I really appreciate all the time and effort and advice given by you all. And I'm sorry that my asking for help caused a debate between carnivores and vegetarians/vegans/pescatarians + any other "arian" I may have inadvertently missed out. There's a lot if options to try and experiments...

    Vegetarian/vegan camp food?

    Basically they just said: Nothing wrong with your heart, it's a haitus hernia, don't know if it's stomach or bowel but it's up through your diaphragm. If you get sudden excruciating pain or a lump the size of your fist below your sternum. Dial 999. Bye! And that's the last I have heard since...

    Vegetarian/vegan camp food?

    I don't do body building for competitions or show off, I'm actually really shy person and won't even take my top off in public. I do it because I rely on my strength for work, and more than anything, it's for my mental health. I had a psychological breakdown 8 years ago, and weight training...

    Vegetarian/vegan camp food?

    Can do fish, just not a fan of the rich tasting, smelly fish. I'll have to carry full eggs I think, especially as I'm planning a few week long trips this year Sent from my SM-N981B using Tapatalk

    Vegetarian/vegan camp food?

    Hi Toddy, Thanks for your reply. What do I want to eat? Anything I have a varied pallate and there isn't much I don't like, apart from fish and seafood. ( I'll eat bland white fish and tuna, but that's it.) I went into hospital just before Christmas, extreme chest pain running into right arm...

    Vegetarian/vegan camp food?

    I'm sure the title raises a few eyebrows, but I have a conundrum. I've recently HAD to become vegetarian due to health issues, (40 years of being a carnivore, not a lifestyle choice I would willingly make) and I'm struggling to find food I can take camping. Especially protien in the daily...

    What are your weekend plans?

    Go through my kit ready for a trip to Scotland later this month, taking my usual hammock set up, but taking a tent setup as a back up just in case. I hope I don't have to use it, I really don't like ground dwelling

    Whats your oldest kit

    By oldest, do you mean age of item or length of time owned? All my kit I've had in the last 3 or so years as had to replace after a loss of all my original kit. Oldest item I currently own is a primus himalaya multifuel, 20+ years old.

    Favourite carry-able cooking pan and favourite mug and why for both

    14cm Zebra Billy, and my Alpkit Mytimug. Because they are both bombproof, one fits inside the other, and it's just what I've used the past 15+ years. If it ain't broke don't fix it I guess
