    1 dl (or dcl) = 1 decilitre, or 100 millilitres. Relatively common measure in Europe, not much in the UK

    So about 4 years ago I used to check in to your channel all the time, then drifted away from RUclips for a while. Its absolutely lovely to see how far you have come buddy. I started a channel too, bushcraft sadly wasn't for me for a channel, I used to get too drunk and the videos would have been trash so I decided on photography. I remember your fire you made, I think it was out of a wheel. massive respect for keeping at it buddy, you're an inspiration now, probably to a lot of people! :)

      To be fair, some ready meals like such can relatively cost 10-20 euro or pounds. At least with this you get far more bang or your buck. Just my opinion but I think it's a great deal.

    £20 is a rip off for one meal and a few snacks, Dan. Personally I think you would be better cooking something at home that you can bag up or put in a Tupperware type container to warm up on the camp fire and then take your coffee or hot chocolate fixings. Plenty of cheap protein bars can be kept for a long time in your rucksack just in case you get peckish while walking and forget to pack them. I always used to have a few of them and tea bags coffee and those individual milk pods in my laptop rucksack at at a clients workplace someone will always be happy to give you hot water but you can do yours yourself.
