Big Skies
Welcome to the Big Skies channel. This channel is about giving back a bit of useful info to the world, usually when I have a question and nobody else has the answer for me. e.g. decent product reviews based on real world use, tips for fixing something that I couldn't find how to fix, fun projects that I think a few others might enjoy!!
See https://big-skies.co.uk/ for my latest blog posts. I generally post about adventures in the great outdoors, outdoor kit, and practical projects, from making my own outdoor gear to amateur car mechanics. This channel is about sharing my experience, reviews with a focus on sustainable and quality products and hopefully helping others with useful pieces of information.
