A bergan is a military rucksack, tougher than an average hiking rucksack, you don't need much to get out and about mate, but if you get more into it you'll find out what works for you. Lundys wildcamp/ adventures, and fell wanderer are a couple of canny YouTube channels to have a look at, all the best

Surprising how many of these survival wallahs post photos of their gear set up in their gardens.

I camp from my kayak so I pack really light.pound of hamburger meat,pound of bacon,dozen eggs,loaf of bread.Cooler full of water as dehydration is serious in Alabama.I would say water and snuff(tobacco) are the most important things.

As far as sleeping arrangements I also pack light.

These hammocks are the only way I will camp now.Run a rope from one tree to another,Hook the hammock and secure the Skeeter net.If rainy weather use a tarp instead of mosquito net.

Quick and easy and weighs about a pound.Being rocked to sleep by the stars along a bubbling creek is something I enjoy.

      Hi guys , bit of a long shot , but I’m due to imminently move to the plains of my people and have heard rumours of a firemonger of weapons ?? 
      He is said to be a purveyor of the uks finest steel tomohawks and one of the last true dwarf weapon masters 
      if anyone can point me in the right direction , I’d be greatly pleased

      I want to purchase a pair of boots for the colder weather, I do a lot of walking, and some trekking about the hillsides and trails. I do not want "winter boots" but rather boots that would be suitable for a cold day, but would work with layers of socks rather than thick heavy boots. Several people have told me Meindl is an excellent brand, and that is great, but what kind ? Hiking ? Walking ? Do they make them that they would serve the purpose mentioned above ? Any specifics to look for in a boot for this purpose ?
      Thank you in advance,
      Lynn

      Sorry gentlemen to bother you, but I have come to my wits end. My neighbour across the way lets her dog roam as it please when it comes to shitting and urination, she is too lazy to actually take the dog out herself. He seems to have taken to my property and a certain area just under my bedroom window. I do not want to hurt the dog for the sake of her ignorance, but I do very much need to stop him from doing it any longer. The grass and  the shrubs are dying and turning brown and the flowers are just rank with smell that floats up through my bedroom window.
      He is a VERY OVERWEIGHT beagle and leaves behind some damn good deposits.
      I am wondering short of doing something stupid, what can I do to deter the dog from that area or any patches of garden I have? I plan to go to the council about the problem, and lay some of it on the town manager who is an acquaintance of mine, but in the meantime, any tricks out there to make my flowers and bushes unsavoury.
      Thank you in advance,
      Lynn
