Thread: well i've done it :)

    well i've done it :)

    hi all ,
    after much reading and youtubing i have ordered some stuff today !!

    until now everything i've been playing about with has been what was lying around the house . ( hobo stove from a pineapple ring tin , pop can stoves from my extensive collection of empty ale cans and a part put together EDC , but the urge to progress a bit further became too much

    so on it's way is a mora companion carbon mg (only £8.50 !!!),
    olive paracord and
    a fire steel .

    i've also been on a recce of a wood not to far from home and it's deserted not even dog walkers .....

    can't wait

    firmly with even the back teeth

    i'm starting on the easy stuff like a brew in the wild on the hobo using a meths burner but would like to practice my skills and hone them right upto trekking self sufficiant style ...

    was a cub , scout and venture and have since been fishing alot (weeks at at time) camping but walking is my passion which would be heightened by looking after myself ....
