Ropey looking kit bag, and coat, and boots...old skool, and cool in a crazy sort of way 👌 I have a tarp, but inadvertently got one the size of Birmingham, and forgot that I can't tie knots, not even a 💩 hitch. I also don't like bugs and slugs...I mean I like that they're out in nature, but not that I would be out there with them at the same time 😬 I have a Phoxx 2 'tent' if you'd like to camp in a wedge shaped doggy bag George? You're welcome to it ✌️ Anyway, thanks for another entertaining dose of reality...I hope Beardy B isn't watching...he looks after his kit, unlike clean shaven G 😉

Thankfully you have helped me once again George, It will be a copy of The Dartmoor Podcast Annual to sit proudly next to the other books which you have been responsible for their purchase at this time of the year having watched one of your episodes, ( apologies that doesn't sound like good English, but I'm sure you know what I mean ), namely Forever Onward, Battling The Beast Of Dartmoor by Lawrence Patrick McNeela, and A Book Of Dartmoor by the one and only S Baring Gould. More book suggestions would be greatly received. Happy Christmas!
