Nah, I wouldn't say posh. Just likes me comforts!

The sheepskin was bought at a boot fair for a couple of quid and I find them more comfy and warm to sleep on.

Definitely inform Social Services if they are involved. I used to work as a paper shuffler for a couple of years within a dept for vulnerable adults and from experience this is exactly the kind of thing they need to know about. It's when people don't tell them about incidents that things escalate an...

Yeah I stuffed one of mine in the washing machine on a low temp rinse. Came out ok,not as fluffy as new but got most of the camping muck off.

Righty ho.....as I said I ain't no expert......but I thought everything on the internet was true!

Certainly looks like the same thing though.

I ain't no expert but could it just simply be a wild plum?

Looks like it from this link:

Yeah there are travel fridges on the market too. Well here's the lantern.....quite interesting and they are only £17 on the manufacturers web site. It's not clear whether you can plug stuff into it to charge......maybe a web enabled mobile phone might be a solution for me charged from one of these? ...

Hmmmm......if there was a full on commercial website product and loads of folks using them I might be tempted but it is a good idea. Thanks for looking folks!

Next idea the bicycle generator?

I saw that document Green Aura....it made my brain bleed! Yeah KeithBC. I wasn't sure about the website. It kind of suggest that you could charge a battery such as a 12v leisure battery from a woodstove, but if that's the case why aren't these things on the market? Would be damn convenient. I've see...

It's going to be just outside Nottingham well quite a few miles, but around there anyway. And more of a modern recycled affair.....a Gertee.

oh the Nojoke bit is something to do with where I'll be living. So quip away!

I've been looking for solutions to producing a little power for a yurt. Basically just to run a laptop and maybe some lights. Now I bumped into a site that looks a bit too good to be true: http://www.tegpower.com/products.html I haven't found anywhere that I could buy one of these things. Does anyon...

Hi all, loads of info on here for me to read so I don't ask the same questions folks have asked before! Basically I'm looking to experiment with living in a yurt for a bit in a bit of woodland that a local farmer owns and doesn't use. The intention being to live as low impact as possible and at a lo...

oops will do.

First post and I'm talking about poo! Hello all! Yep I sympathise with you. A couple of years ago they started spreading that 'sanitised' human waste on the fields around here. The farmers left huge piles of it at the sides of the fields, one pile was right next to a public footpath. They didn't tel...
