Just found your channel after it was linked in another channel. Still serving myself 16 years this month. Few more to go, but I'll be having a good watch of your stuff. Love foraging, fish, and nature myself, and all things cheap living. Not materialistic in any shape or form. Saving hard all my career so hopefully I can go part time work and enjoy more time outdoors but the pension isn't what it was so I'll see when I get there. Based in brecon myself and live about 30 mins away so nice to have a local post for once. Keep enjoying the outdoors and maybe see you on he hills sometime. All the best.
Thanks, I'm glad that you like the channel. I do what I can and know to make it interesting. I've just gone part-time a few months ago, the key to that is not paying rent like owning your own home. Anyway, thanks for watching and all the best with pushing the rest of your time out. 👍💯
@@Andy-walkaboutnutty not far off paying it off now so should be well past it by the time I leave. Was a frugal living channel that I got the link to yours. One of your ex army mates I believe. All the best and look forward to working through the videos.
@on_the_mooch2708 Loving life on less, dave and i were both survival instructors together with breakaway survival school years ago before the Internet. It's all gone now but not forgotten. There is a Facebook page on it, but i think it's private. It was voluntary, but we got fed. Dave was in the paras in the early 80s, but he doesn't say much about it. I'm a bit rusty with the ruff stuff but have no desire to go back to it, and I haven't got the land to make fires and skin rabbits and stuff anyway. It was pure apocalypse, cooking and eating out of a rusty industrial sized bean tin can, they were stinking. We never got ill. The chief instructor that ran the whole show was ex 29 sqn RA and SAS. 27 years military. Sounds like you've got it all planned out. That's better than what I did.
That's an interesting project Andy. I'd be interested to see how that works out in the field - heavy but more of a survival thing if you have some spare wool about. Re-the Snugpak thanks for the heads up on it and the tip. Well, keeping it unusual as ever - all the best. Mark
Yes I was thinking similar to the other comment people could do that in their homes if it's a bad winter. Good idea. Thanks for sharing 👍
Cheers, yer, I never thought about using it in the home 💯👍
Great idea for indoors too, the blankets slip off the sleeping bag in bed. £20 is a lot cheaper than turning the heating on.
Yer, and it's a 1 off payment for many uses each year 👍

Cheers Mark, yer, it's a simple project, not too taxing, and very satisfying. Plus, you end up with something traditional and sort of old-fashioned 👍💯
@@Andy-walkaboutnutty A pleasure as always Andy. Hey, good to hear of the satisfaction - you are good at these things. Have a great weekend.
