Like a few people have posted here I use a 20L dry bag on the bars stuffed with sleeping bag, Bivvy bag, thermarest Matt, 3.5 tarp, and insulated jacket. I've used a roo pouch with a Kanga harness with a couple of small items in the roo (phone glasses etc) and find it very useful, although there not...

Great video, showed it to my kids yesterday and they really enjoyed it! I know a few adults that could learn a thing or two from that young lad. Great stuff indeed!

Hi folks, Apologies for jumping in, this may be old news for some of you, but I've just bought a couple of OS explorer maps for the WRT and And new maps come with a code to enable you to download the full 1:25k maps to a smartphone that can be used offline. £18 gets you the loveliness of a paper map...

Used the weldtite sticky string type kit a few times with great success and have yet to have a plug fail.

Anything that's BPA and Pthalate free seems to be the general advice as heating up plastic can cause some chemicals to leach, in very very small quantities, from the bag into the food. I've...

Top tips, Nice one! The bar clamp extender thingy looks like it might be the perfect solution to mounting a light on the bars without it being obstructed by an Alpkit Kanga harness. Definitely worth a punt for the few quid it costs, but wondering if anybody has tried one with the Kanga or similar? C...

Been experimenting with this recently too, with some success. Used the oven at 50 degrees with the door open a crack. Dried some onion, mushroom, tomato, all diced very small - took three to four hours to dehydrate. Then did some ground beef (most forums recommend lean beef as fat doesn't dehydrate ...
