From Forestry to Recovery
Hi, I’m Dougie. My life has always been defined by the outdoors. With years of professional experience in Forestry, I’ve spent more time in the woods than in an office. I know what “rugged” actually means, and I know exactly how quickly gear fails when the British weather turns.
Stronger After the Storm
A few years ago, my perspective shifted. After surviving a heart attack, I realized that “rebuilding” wasn’t just about medicine—it was about getting back to the things that make us feel alive.
Stronger After the Storm is my mission to help people over 50 reclaim their health and adventure. Whether you are recovering from a health setback or just looking to simplify your travel, I believe the outdoors is the best place to heal.
Why Roof Tents?
I started this site because I saw too many people overcomplicating camping. A roof tent removes the struggle of pitching on wet ground and gives you a comfortable, elevated “sanctuary” anywhere your car can go.
I use my forestry background to vet every brand for:
- Build Quality: Can it handle a Somerset gale?
- Weight: Will it actually fit your car safely?
- Ease of Use: Can you set it up in under 60 seconds?
