There are times when sleeping on the ground is unappealing. Rocky uneven surfaces can lead to a long night trying to avoid the rocks bruising your hips and ribs.  Despite always using a good quality self-inflating pad it's not always possible on an expedition to find a perfect campsite...

For winter camping it's good to have a heat source in your shelter. We all know the dangers of open fires and barbecues and the obvious solution is a stove. However most stoves are both heavy and bulky, this titanium flat pack stove is light and packs small enough to be portable yet when assembled, it allows a large enough combustion chamber to heat a sizeable shelter.

I have not used a watch for a couple of years.  Teaching bushcraft is more about the seasons and moving with natures rhythms. Then I saw myself on ITV's 'The Hungry Sailors' and didn't recognise the fat man on the screen.  It was time to get myself back in shape.

I honestly thought I'd not need another hat... then those nasty people at Tilley, in some sort of conspiracy, release two new designs.. the Waxed Tilley and the Winter Tilley, now I needed some new hats!

Spring and summer are on their way (no really they are...) and BBQ season is almost upon us, or for some of us has already happened a few times!  BBQ's, open fires and outdoor cooking are all integral to outdoor living and for many of us are the ultimate way of relaxing however this is not always practical at home or on commercial campsites.  Enter the OzPig!

Attention to detail is excellent with most of the straps having the capacity to be tucked, away or passed through a loop to stop them flapping around. 

The weather ranged from heavy rain and wind to deep snow, before finishing with a few days of blazing sunshine

Before we even consider how to make water safe, perhaps we should consider what makes it unsafe.

Breaking in a skid situation will cause the wheels to stop rotating so you will lose all traction
