    Bluetooth speakers from your phone with iheart radio or Spotify is just as good and can run off of a power bank or small solar charge

    Great job btw. Looks fantastic
    No, doesnt have to be radio so will try that.
    Just a bit of C and W with the fire goin after a day on the hill is all we need

    Bos,
    The old hut I use is in a hollow with no radio or phone reception. UE boom and play list on the phone works well when the “silence” has been enjoyed fully.

    I am a bit concerned about the IBC being natural translucent plastic. This will let light in and grow algae.

    The rest of the re-firb is masterful

    Youre right mate
    Will have to wrap it in something I spose. Bit of chlorine helps at present.
    Using creek water for drinking and only tapwater for dishes,hand washing etc.
    Cheers for the advice

    How would it work if you could find some old Freezer Panel ? That would shield it from light and heat and frost

    Bloody good idea
    Plenty of old freezers up at the recycling depot just waiting for me to pull the lids off. Great idea

    find the oldest car radio you can find..preferably one with tuning dial rather than digital.....50 quid to knob of goat shit it will pick up radio out there.... most older radios work in places modern ones wont...they were built to work.

I have introduced a couple of my grandsons to goat culling in the King Country and most of the others to plinking reactive targets with a .22RF. I look forward to taking them deer stalking.
