I decided to run some tests on my two favourite cooking stoves, to help me decide which one is going to be the starting point for a new project. It would have been the Jetboil before I found an amazing mod for the Trangia. This video tells you why I chose the stove I did. I am now building a simple aluminium frame to hold the stove in position on the Land Rover to help me with outdoor cooking on a gas stove.

I nearly sold my defender to buy a van for conversion into a camper van but I realised that the Land Rover Defender had a lot more potential for some wild camping adventures. Van life, but a bit more remote than a van can manage.
I am embarking on a series of projects based around my Land Rover Defender. I feel the need for some adventure and taking the truck overland is a great starting point. I am designing and building some modifications to help me with living out of my Defender for a few days. I'm not backpacking the kit so weight is not a problem but it does need to be compact as fitting out the limited space for a camping, van life experience in the small amount of room could be a problem to solve.
I love a project, the idea, the potential, the frustration, the challenge. I relish the chance to learn and build my skills. I am an educator by profession and love to do that, share my passion and try to inspire you to take on the challenge. It doesn't matter if it wasn't what you wanted when you started, you started and learnt something along the way.
Share the love.
Never give up!
