Wild Camping, Hiking, Back pack, Tent talk, Mini camper etc.......


Recommended Posts

Never mind all the complicated stuff, the rule of thumb when camping out is:

Stay dry

Stay warm

Have the ability to make hot drinks and food.

Thats literally all you need to enjoy camping.

Check the hydro static head on your shelter and buy the lightest and best you can afford.

A decent 4/5 season bag for European climate, don’t skimp on that bit.

A lightweight stove that burns multi fuels and a decent couple of aluminium fuel containers (obviously the ability to light the stove, load of spare lighters and even a spark stick as back up) 

Water supply and powder drinks/soups of your choice.

For jewellery, a decent sleeping mat, a little wind up radio, a small stick torch if you ain’t the kind to pack your kit so you instantly know where everything is in the dark.

Slow and meticulous is the way when camping out imho, it really is a past time where being a bit OCD is a benefit ! Lol

Shameful to see that on a BBQ ???

Nah, BBQ can do more than just meat. I cook over a fire most nights in the summer, I'd get scurvy if I only cooked meat!

You mean the osprey atmos pack like on the left? I use one and can't fault it, just make sure you get the right harness size, try for fit in a shop then shop around online

      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
