I need to get another soldering iron for normal home use (my gas one was never very good and doesn't hold its gas anymore), but I also want to do some wood burning/etching. I've made a bird table as a present and want to put some words on the side I've been doing loads of Internet surfing and...

I did a bit of walking and wild camping on the first weekend in March this year, I desperately needed to get out and hadn’t been out properly like this in ages (2 kids under 18 months at the time). SWMBO could see that I needed to get out too so was the one encouraging me to go. This is my trip...

What size is your pack? Additionally, what is your pack? I'm interested in seeing what everyone uses. My main rucksack is a Macpac Glissade and is 75 litres. It sounds big but frankly I seem to manage to fill it, though I know I'm taking too much My other pack is a daypack which is between...
