Although I was looking forward to seeing you bolt upright in your carp bed..........gutted I missed the first episode.
Don't forget to upgrade the pegs.......we would hate to see it blowing away in the wind......she said

Nothing more to get as far as personal kit goes.......she said.
Next priority will be my Number 1 Son giving the Landrover a good look over.......hoses...coolant strength....oil change blah blah blah.
He has changed the wipers front and back.
Need to get some winter screen wash.
Screen brush and scraper.

 

[Ark79]

That’s a good lad you have bill

Alls accounted for she said no more kit to git


Just a few bits for me and am sorted

 

[Bopdude]

I have one of these

Olive Folding Wash Bowl | Dropzone

Turn it inside out, use one side for pots and the other for personal hygiene, and they scrunch up and are tough as old boots, with all due respect, those others are a bit small imho that is

Have the very same one Al .....but I tend to use my Zebra pot more these days

 

[1 shot willie]

Aye Mark, he is a diamond mate....nothing is ever too much trouble for him.

Well......"She says" nothing else to get......but you never know what might just crop up

Sounds like you are nearly there too mate as far as kit goes.
The trousers turned up again and the bigger size is perfect

 

[Ark79]

Spot on mate glad you like them now get them off....there for Xmas she said

Just a few bits. Sleeping bag (snugpak elite 5 )
Iv went for the muck boots you suggested mate so my good woman is getting them for my Xmas then a frying pan. And am about done...a think lol

I haven't used my Zebra since those baking days, might have to dig it out for the wintery trips ahead

 

[1 shot willie]

oh they are off mate

Nice bag Mark.....that should keep the chill off buddy
The Muck boots will be a bonus mate they really are the mutts nuts.
Worth giving a small "wock" a thought Mark.....rather than the frying pan?
Been using one for a few years now and much prefer it.......even make up a small stew in it

Did give a wok some thought mate. But a like the pots for stew and the cast iron for frying lol....bit of a fussy bugger ....
