Rigging up a hammock setup diagonally across my Landy 90!
Loud words. Spoken softly. Leave no Trace!
Finally plumped for a billy kettle! Tried drilling holes today and only broke one drill piece. Forgot how tough stainless is. Realised that even with a large number of holes in the external base of the flask that it is not letting the heat up well enough (7+ mins to get "just hot enough to wash yer hands in" water). Think will have to take the base off properly - need to find someone with a dremel.
Toojk another recon up the hills to find out how far up I could go before being stopped by rotten snow. Had a brew and went down agin. Surprised at how easy it was going today. I wen't twice as far up as but did not feel half as exhausted. That must mean that the excercise I am getting trough these walks must be working :-)

Just made charcloth for the first time.
It was a lot easier than I thought it would be
The stuff takes a spark from my flint and steel readily.
