Re: Filtered Water Bottle

I've got a one, got it at 'Bodypower' last year. Tend to use it at the gym or when out and about at work specially when it's clearly just tap water.

Not used it when camping yet but the marketing and write up seem promising etc.

Re: What preps are you doing this week? part 2.

Woah thats impressive! Where did you get that from? I'm currently researching the 'tarp' side of things and its all pointing towards a DD 3x3 to be honest, although I like the idea of the XL.

This takes it all to a whole new level!!

Re: Optimus Crux / Jetboil Alternative

When I'm camped for the night or out for an afternoon indefinitely in one spot, the woodgas is my go to, its easy to set up, bit of a 'focal' point and easy to keep going, either with the wood pellets or whatever is around.
