Solid fuel that burns a bit like firelighters. Not sure why it's been banned but possibly a connection with explosives. You now need a licence to use it.

Could well be mate. I heard tales at the pit that sticks of dynobel made good fire lighters to get damp coal fires burning.

Yep. I got a Tentbox lite about 3 years ago. Got the extension that goes between the ladder and the car and an awning that goes on the back. Great bit of kit. I feel sorry for my car though when it's loaded up, ebike on the tailgate, tentbox and a double kayak on the roof.

Not quite, an old Seat Altea. A mate has one on a Aygo though and manages with him and his wife, one nipper and a dog.

I did a mk7 tranny into a camper a while ago and flogged it as I wasn’t getting use out of it. I always have a 3rd car a banger for putting dogs in and hunting and sh1t shifting ect. Recently got a new 1 a Citroen c4 bought of my mechanic mate. So I decided I still want on night away with dog ect. So ripped back seats out and laid a sleeping platform and window blinds. Work in progress

I've had a nice result here. My youngest daughter.. she's 15. Has finally.. told me..that she wants to go wild camping with me! I've been asking her for a while now. So.. i didn't need telling twice! Sorted a nice set up out. Cost me way over £600 but a worthwhile investment hopefully! Tent wise.. went for a 1 man Helm. It's a little tank. Loosely put it up in the garden. I've got the 2 man option. I know she'll be sound in there!!

Me and a buddy drove to Tennessee and explored a small river.It was 95 degrees with heat index of 105 when we launched our kayaks.Im still amazed how much gear I can fit in a 11 ft kayak.

 

This morning I'm airing out my hammock and repacking.Hope to explore a creek this weekend.
