Ration meal of the day  Bla Band Chicken Meatballs and spicy tomato (and pasta).   I cooked mine in the dirty Swedish mess kit. Just for full effect.   It’s a pretty big meal with plenty of pasta and meat. I didn’t find it especially spicy, but “your mileage may vary”.   I have to agree...

Hints and tips for lighting wood fires. As the old saying goes “keep your tinder dry”.    Tinder (not the website/app) is the material that you initially light with a spark or flame.  Kindling. Small pencil thickness twigs and sticks used to build up the fire from tinder before putting on...

I just assumed you are Lindybeige’s love child. 

Because “Springtime for Hitler” was taken.

Time for that training scenario…. ”Annie were’s ya Oakleys?”

What I should have mentioned about collecting water is an overlooked hazard. Many of the more toxic plants in the UK grow on river and lake banks. Giant Hogweed being especially unpleasant and can cause serious burns on contact. Some key identifying features are shown by Hidden Valley...

You never see these two guys in the same place. ? Well just that one time.

Good call. The icon Les Hiddins. Not many could carry if that hat. ? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jejk-7I9Y6U
