Hi Metman86, sorry you didn't appear to receive any information of the Disco 4 engine failures - I'm in a similar position, currently have a Disco II, but wondering about getting a Disco 4, but have also read about what appears to be many engine failures and also wondered about the redesign. Did...

Thanks for all the suggestions and comments - I've decided to go for a set of AT's on my Disco, General Grabbers AT3. They were fitted this morning and I went straight down the woods to see how they would perform. They were great - the ground is drying out a little, but still plenty of mud for...

@Weldy sounds like you guys just need to take regular walks in the countryside - breath in the fresh air, take a flask of tea, coffee or chocolate and chill out under a tree and enjoy a view together. Yes, St John's Wart is used to treat depression - time spent closer to nature will help, I...

Hi @Weldy yes, sure fire-by-friction using both hand-drill and bow-drill. Spent a little time with the Bushman last year in the Kalahari, and saw how they did this too. Whilst it's a fun skill to learn, ideally without the blisters, it's a good idea to have a few methods to hand. There is...

Hi @blue beasty, well mostly stuff I enjoy, yes, bodging / woodland crafts; carving utensils and making bark containers, natural history; getting to know the trees and plants, used for crafts, the essential bushcrafty / survival; fire, water, shelter, tool use, and lots of fire and feasting...

Cheers @Trench Rat it's a very nice semi-ancient woodland.

@neilly like the idea of a CDL, hadn't thought of that, thanks - but when I just managed to get out of the woods yesterday, all tyres were slicks, so maybe in combination with better tyres! @blackstrat any particular vote for a brand of AT, some appear to end up like slicks almost as quickly -...

A landy in the Spring time... and another in this fab ancient woodland Such a fab vehicle for supporting me in the woods Thanks guys :)

I've read loads of posts about tyres and Wheels and Tyre Sizes but what I'm after is a few thoughts / experiences of AT vs. MT especially BFG, Grabbers, Coopers etc. I have a standard Disco II (2004) which is my daily transport, I'm out in the woods a lot teaching bushcraft (it's my day job)...

Hi folks, I've enjoyed reading and found many posts to be really useful - thanks. I've been running a Disco II (2004) for 5 years, and I always enjoy driving it, be they long journeys or having fun disappearing down tracks into the local woods. I teach bushcraft, wilderness skills, natural...
