I'll take it :) I'll send you a PM

well my budget is as low as possible, definitely not more than the price of that ridge rest. I'm not worried about bulk so much as weight as I'm planning to put it under the blanket in my czech bedroll for now. Because it's going to go in there it won't be too accessible so the less preparation...

Thanks for the replies everyone - lots of good ideas and info here :) Alreetmiowdmuka - that looks really good, bit outside my (tiny) budget but maybe I'll just make do until I can save up a bit. petrochemicals - Interesting idea, I'd rather not disturb the ground too much but I might well be...

Thanks everyone :) Dave- I'm currently in the south, a few miles SW of Cambridge city

best vegan egg replacement i've heard of is a relatively new invention called aquafaba you can google how to make it but it comes from chickpeas. it's a bit harder to use than egg but you can bake, fry, even make merigues apparently

hi everyone, first post :) i'm in the middle of putting together a bushcraft kit and i've bought myself one of those czech bedrolls (you know the ones) i saw another thread on here about replacing the linen liner with silk to make it more lightweight which makes sense because that thing is...

hey everyone, my name's jim. i'm pretty new to bushcrafting but i've been doing various other outdoorsy stuff for years. looking to learn some new skills and get in touch with nature a bit.
