Jeez, it’s quite a large collection and this kit is bloody expensive nowadays. Makes it a bit daunting to get out there. I’m just procrastinating over a lightweight chair. And I need two of everything as I go with my son. Thanks to Simon’s overnight canoe trip off Hickling broad I spotted him using a Kamui chair which I think if Simon,s using it , it must be good. My biggest problem here in Norfolk is where to wildcamp. I’d so like to get permission but where do you start ?

Simon, love the videos. For the mouse problems, you can try a few drops of peppermint oil on a cotton ball. Mice hate the smell of peppermint, it might keep them out of your kit. Just leave a few of those peppermint cotton balls around your building. It should help with the mice, but might make your equipment a little aromatic.

I'm grateful for your going through all this kit over the years, as it's helped me find my essential kit list, without having to aquire as much. What first attracted me to your channel years ago were your videos where you packed everything you needed in a single German rucksack or hip pack. I have one of my own now and can set it up for a day hike kitchen and meal, water for 4, tarp, seat, etc. And with quick tuning can adjust it for a smaller trip, or hammock overnight. But to zero in on the essential kit, I've had to aquire a little more to find exactly the kit I like the best, but nowhere near as much as would have been needed without your videos.

Simon, there’s an easy solution to the mice problem. They make a lid trap that fits on any 5 gallon bucket. You simply put some peanut butter on the lid and mice walk up the ramp and walk out on the lid to eat the bait and they fall into the bucket alive. You can deal with them however you want after that.

Looked high and low for a foot locker style trunk to store my daughter's dress up clothes. kzfaq.infoUgkxRkkpE1_3gMEZ2mPhAt6b2moNCUXyH8tG I had one growing up that I stored my Barbies in and wanted something sturdy like that for her costumes. This arrived really, really quickly and is exactly what I've been looking for. Perfect size, color (pink) and has stood up for nearly a year so far against my kids using it as a chair, stage, and barricade (😬) to keep each other out of their rooms. I'm probably going to order another one for my daughter's Barbies.
