Morrisons does one for about 3 quid a bottle, it's not bad stuff actually. It's in the section with all the sherry, ginger wine etc
Beltin! Thanks for that I will be in there tonight for a mooch!

For me it would have to be alcohol... With the exceptions of Tequila, which i can no longer drink and Advocart (sp) which is just snot in a bottle
Closely followed by tea
It made me laugh in Trail magazine there was a bit on favourite tipples and someone said Southern Comfort which was shunned. But was then explained that it had the greatest alcohol to weight ratio

Given the choice Henry Westons vintage cider, but any scrumpy will put a smile on my face if it's available! Partial to a drop of whisky when with friends but only if i've got some rennies with me
Though maybe cognac this weekend? or rum? possibly a bottle or two of red
Bladder can't take the beer anymore and i'm still getting used to getting in and out the hammock :bluThinki

On long trips (not in the UK) done this before - we would take C2H5OH with us (around 96%) as the weight of that liquid is not too bad, then would mix it with water (didn't have to carry that stuff at least ) 1:2 and there you go - Vodka ) One can add some berries to it, or juniper needles depending on season... or drink it pure - the way nature intended it to be drunk

Tea or hot milk with nutmeg.
Am partial to a nice malt whiskey.
Also a Desperado gets the thumbs up for me from when I lived in France.

Tequilla 1 1/2 shots thrown in a nice pale strong larger

would have been a Miller/Coors bottle for me. Haven't drank in ages though so it's a cup of green tea for me! (gotta try some of that pine needle tea at somepoint...)

what the hell is that????!
It's a tree that's native to northern temperate and boreal regions of the earth... oh... I see... you were talking about the C2H5OH
That's ethanol

spruce needle tea is fantastic!
Just thought i'd let you know
Oh! i'm looking forward to trying it now =D yum!
And if you're carrying it at 96%, it's Everclear! I sometimes wish we could get that here, but mostly I think it's probably good that we don't...
I agree. The main reason for carrying that stuff with you is when there is about 200 miles and 10 days between you and the nearest shop
it pays well to have something with you which does not take too much space and mixed with water produces a considerable quantity of strong alcohol.And one can use it for medicine purposes...
Also wild black current leaves tea.... mmmm nice. Wild lemon grass or wild mint are also good... And here is one I quite like - bird cherry tree bark taken from small branches and brewed in hot water... it's quite tasty and it also helps if one has stomach pains.
Better watch that bird cherry bark, it's rich in cyanide
I brew lots but rarely drink, I've taken a notion to Cointreau recently tho'......it's gorgeous on ice cream
cheers,
Toddy
