If there was ever a topic to associate with a Monday morning, it’s mould.
This week, Ben and Lauren embrace the Monday blues by touching on something just as dampening and dull, but nowhere near as nice on a cracker with quince and a glass of room-temp red: mould.
Nevertheless, this episode builds on how to prevent, remove, and recover your tents, shelters, and swags from the ultimate vampire of longevity that feeds on humidity but fries in UV!
