Cheers guys, a great help!
haha, well regarding bushcraft here, its quite different from the UK (I was raised there and joined Beavers when i was 5, so thats why i love it) In the winter hikes are good due to cool winds and rain, and there's lots of greenery, but as far as woods go - there's one place I know of - Mizieb (above Xemxija, on the north of the Island, on the way to Mellieha Bay, if you know where im on about.) Its pine and olive woodland made for bird hunters, so ive done over nighters over there with my DD Frontline Hammock and tarp (tarp in winter only). the sea offers loads of bushcraft activities - fishing, diving, snorkling, harpooning, distillation is possible which is pretty cool
The S1 would satisfy all my needs, especially getting a fire going in winter - with the humidity, snowy weather feels warmer than a 5degree night, so you need a fire all night unless you got a tent; thats a lot of wood.
Thanks guys for the help
