it is not exactly cheap but is a new way of filming, and the quality of the pictures vs weight/size is just stunning. downside is short battery life, not enough.

it was alright: had a synthetic layer of undergarment, a woolen layer (woolpower), a HH fleece, woolen socks and a hat. was a bit unsure in the evening but turned out to be a warm night...

only my nose sticking out of the sleeping bag was cold:0) otherwise had a good night.

Pine Resin is amazing stuff and one of the many uses is to make torches with it.

Tried out two different variations. Both are made in the bush using only a knife.

but that's...

I have uploaded a general bushcraft knots tutorial to youtube a while ago.
