Just a little thought about the lack of skills,equipment and being prepared.Fourteen years ago i was caught by something we all take for granted- health/fitness, and at 36 felt fit and healthy not a problem carrying a 50 lb bag all the right stuff but on my own.Miles from any small village and...

I think the problem is more the smoke that comes from any form of hobo type stove when first lit.To most of the general public you are distroying the ozone and poluting the air that they are breathing---smell/smoke from bbq is different the `smoke` is caused by burnt food or fat and certainly...

I`ve cleaned two down bags a few years ago---one i did myself and the other went to the cleaners.The one i did myself turned out to have the best result as i had plenty of time to dry the bag in the tumble dryer which took somewere in the region of 4/5 hours on a low heat setting and had to be...

Try warm water and add a quarter of a mug of vinegar leave over night rinse with clean water a couple of times and the job is done!!

I prefer to be on the ground rather than between two trees as i cannot seem to get any sleep in a hammock because i`m a figit ****! The snugpack bivvy is an only just fit bag with no room for anything but you and sleeping bag.I would say a military one is much better because of the extra...

I have done outdoor pursuits with mentally handicapped kids but 20 odd years ago in Derbyshire.We ran `classes`in climbing,potholing,canoeing and abseiling.The kids involved really did benefit from their experience`s .There was certainly a change in their attitudes and behaviour for the...
