    Are these any good? Would they melt?

    Does anybody know where I can get a set of three/four LARGE cook pots that will stack into each other? We take groups of upto 10 away so they need to be quite large sizes. One to be used for a constant supply of boiling water and the rest for warming curries/chillies/rices, beans/scrammbled eggs...

    Hi Les, me getting on in years would like a bit of comfort mate :D . I know I can't take my posturepaedic bed with me but I would like to be half comfy, and lying on a thin foam mat just doesn't do it for me. Maybe I should go back to a Thermarest inside a burn resistant bag!!! Now theres an...

    Bed Roll

    You were right Joe. They don't stock them now as they were costing a fortune with the P and P. They suggested ordering direct from Duluth over in the good old US of A. Not sure if I like the idea of ordering abroad :( Is anyone a regular satisfied buyer from America or has anyone any...

    Kids

    The letter seems a great idea. I work alot with excluded school kids and kids from "dissadvantaged" areas. It pays to praise then advise. Always start off with, praise like "thats a great camp, great bivvy/den etc", then advise not tell them with something along the lines of "do you think it...

    Cleaning Tea Cups/Pots

    I thought we were tough outdoors people? ;) Washing up?? :yikes: Whats up with a dirty stained cup and spoon. You need a few germs to get an immunity. Take 3 parts river or lake water and a handfull of fine gravel, stick finger in cup, wipe gravel and water mix around the inside of the cup...

    I think its true!

    There is a local wildlife pond near us and the rangers kept wondering what was happening to the young swans and ducks :confused: . They thought it could be foxes or wild cats or mink until one day they saw a massive mouth suck down a young Mallard chick and saw the big tail of a catfish. :eek...
