Here's a few tips for inexpensive gear I've picked up in my bothy ramblings mixed in with a slice of humour. Hope you enjoy.

In reply to John Burns:

Yes, liked it; the self-deprecation goes a long way. Do people not still put their matches in plastic film containers, with a bit of sandpaper glued under the lid? And base camp booties, which Blacks are perennially selling off cheaply, keep the draughts out better.

In reply to John Burns:

Good post, though maybe instead of all those matches take a firesteel? That would work even if it had been sitting in Lyn Peris all afternoon

In reply to John Burns:

Thanks for the suggestions. Firesteel probably would be a good idea. Although I looked them up and at £9 that's a lot of matches for your money.

The bothy booties look good too although maybe not as good for river crossings.
