Tests With Drying Food

Bugger had me a nice well thought out piece of writing done then a fuse blows and kills everything, so onwards and sod the writing aspect. Got tired of trying to justify the price of some of the brand bought dried meals you can get as at around £6 for a main meal they are […]
Making Your Own Solid Fuel For Stoves

In this article I will attempt to give an outline on how to choose a tent based on the standard options available. Please […]
Wild Camp spots in Donegal
Thought you might be interested in a couple of decent wild campsites in Donegal. These have been used regularly for the past few years by a couple of mates. It should go without saying that if the sites are abused, then they will disappear. Both are near Dunfanaghy in NW Donegal. The first is reached […]
