    Wilderness First Aid and Bushcraft courses in Ireland

    Hi, I hope this ok, but I really would like to give a thumbs up to the IPNA, a wilderness first aid trainning company that my wife and I used.

    Mac or Sony laptop for long expedition travel

    Hi, I'm heading off on a year+ trip, with a focus on photography. I shoot raw files, so I need a load of storage. I'll be in a 4x4, so no worries on storage space (i.e. not backpacking / biking).

    Garmin 2106 and gps "mushroom"

    Hi, I've got a 2106, which is a discontinued Garmin gps. I love it because you can enter co-ordinates while wearing gloves at high speed in a landrover, so i'm hoping it will work well on my expedition truck. The fun starts however because the gps sensor is in a "mushroom" which is also...

    Tyres for expedition use on a 1300L

    Hi, I'm getting ready for a long expedition starting in 2012, and thinking about tyres. I'm quite happy with slow, so I'll go with a small size (i.e. I dont need tall tyres to gear me up). I'm debating between the 12.5x20 (335//80R20) Continental MPT81, or the michelin 12.00 or 365/80R20 XZL...
