Now here's something new A Stove that uses twigs and also charges your I Pad
(Preview)
Not as cheap as the gravity light, but I thought that this was a very neat stove, not only does it boil 1 litre of water in 4 minutes, using only twigs, but also charges all those must have devices, while you wait for your meal to be cooked. http://biolitestove.com/ Cheers David

We've been on the road now for just on 18 months, and do a bit of house sitting along the way to mix up our travels, get a feel for a particular area and also it prevents cabin fever being in the van 24/7! I'm guessing we've been pretty "lucky" up to this point, as it seems we've managed, (without r...

Do you have a budget while travelling?
(Preview)
So... Was reading the thread about high charges in some camp grounds and got me thinking... ( I know, it hurts... I try not to do it too often!)
Anyway, seems a lot are free camping ( ideally, that is what we wish to do) so that will save on camp site fees.
I also realise the less you travel around...
