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.

Has any of you,s try,d the Roof Tent,s look a great bit of kit and mean,s i could bring the dog,s with me in the back of my Van.

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.

      I want to purchase a pair of boots for the colder weather, I do a lot of walking, and some trekking about the hillsides and trails. I do not want "winter boots" but rather boots that would be suitable for a cold day, but would work with layers of socks rather than thick heavy boots. Several people have told me Meindl is an excellent brand, and that is great, but what kind ? Hiking ? Walking ? Do they make them that they would serve the purpose mentioned above ? Any specifics to look for in a boot for this purpose ?
      Thank you in advance,
      Lynn

      Sorry gentlemen to bother you, but I have come to my wits end. My neighbour across the way lets her dog roam as it please when it comes to shitting and urination, she is too lazy to actually take the dog out herself. He seems to have taken to my property and a certain area just under my bedroom window. I do not want to hurt the dog for the sake of her ignorance, but I do very much need to stop him from doing it any longer. The grass and  the shrubs are dying and turning brown and the flowers are just rank with smell that floats up through my bedroom window.
      He is a VERY OVERWEIGHT beagle and leaves behind some damn good deposits.
      I am wondering short of doing something stupid, what can I do to deter the dog from that area or any patches of garden I have? I plan to go to the council about the problem, and lay some of it on the town manager who is an acquaintance of mine, but in the meantime, any tricks out there to make my flowers and bushes unsavoury.
      Thank you in advance,
      Lynn
