A lot of the stuff on the canvas tent shop website is sold out but I'll have a look again.

just got myself a 2007 ford galaxy ghia that were planning to do a tour or scotland in ... looking for a little solar set up for it  something that`ll sit on the dash maybe . 

Windscreens filter out a lot of uv so the solar panel doesn't work as well. And there is no sun in Scotland anyway.

A bit off subject but I'm in the market for a decent family tent, a 5 man or similar size. 

Been looking at the air tents and the canvas bell tents but I don't have a clue which would be better. 

Any suggestions would be appreciated. 

Use this for when full family go camping it has 4 bedrooms but can remove bedroom dividers.got big living area goes up in 10mins sturdy not a bad price. Been out in wind and rain no problems 20210704_204044.jpg.83a08787b669004faac650e91348126a.jpg

The trouble with threads about survival  wild camping and the like is that they always end up the same; a discussion on what to buy. Its all about buying, never about how to do it.

Some say we're a nation of shopkeepers

I say pasties, real ale, a good fire, and wool, the tent can look after itself

Some of you lads must be taking a wheel barrow with you, or not venture far from the truck ? 

Personally I like a little cycling one man tent, tiny, light weight and warm. Usually take two lightweight plastic sheets to, one for above and one below, that way your kit outside the tent also stays dry etc.

      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

      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
