    Mental. I just go an alert to let me know that it’s ten years yesterday that I sat on the sofa, at the now Ex-Mrs SBW’s house, and mused that there was a dichotomy between my life in the suburbs and my thirst for a life of adventure and wild food. The Suburban Bushwacker was…

    Highland Deer Stalking Part 3

    The week races by, we are either on the hill, or drying out in the cottage.

  • Unboxing Review: Markhor Elk Mountain 45l Pack

    Unboxing Review: Markhor Elk Mountain 45l Pack

    Would you like to review a pack that’s lightweight, durable, and affordable? Would I ever. Does, or could such a thing exist? Most people have one pack, for people like BoB, Mr Grendel and myself this shows a cavalier attitude to foot travel and a lack of commitment to adventure. I asked BoB (brother of…
