Go to GoOutdoors and have a wonder round with her and find out what size of tent she wants. If you going to do some car camping a tent you can stand up in, a porch and no sewn in groundsheet are really useful points.

What book are the instructions coming from as Monty Alford's Wilderness Survival Guide has a completely different diagram for an even more interesting stove.

Gary Dierking Wa'apa has always stuck me as a really interesting idea. Also have a look at the Nessmuk canoes because no one is really making canoes like that any more. Check out song of the paddle forum as there a lot of good books out there being recommended.

You could check out SD card cases - the ones they original come in as they are a small hard case.

I do wonder were things like Anzac biscuits and oat cakes sit? Also what using honey does to those things instead of the syrups?
