Of course, if you can suggest another at a lower price, that would be good too. (:

A bit leftfield, but how about a pair of rigger boots? Waterproof, fleecy lined, you could do worse: http://www.mptools.co.uk/products.asp?partno=49411

I wonder about the environmental impact of that stuff. Will items treated with it ever rot if they end up in landfill?

I live on a boat too! Where are you moored up? :D It's a magic life, and in many respects winter is nicer than summer. After eight years, unless something bad happens I can't see myself in a house anymore. Here's a few things to think about. Sorry for the list, I am not this pompous in real...

You would probably be able to get a refund if you raise a dispute and say they're a copy.

I would never trust any drybag 100% if it's going to actually be submerged, even if it's an expensive one. I've bought some of these, though, because they'll do well inside my various other barrels and drybags. A drybag in a drybag is properly waterproof. These look like they're quite thin, so...

I bought one of these for my dad when he had rats in the roof. Baited with peanut butter. Killed about four a day for a week, then didn't see any for a while...

It's a nice canoe, my mate has one. £650 is ok or a lot depending on the kit that comes with it. If it's homemade kit, it's a lot. Unless it's a Royalex one, in which case you should take his arm off. I'm also assuming it's a 16' as opposed to 17' or 14'. Personally, I wouldn't want a 14'...

I think you'd have to be a bit of a wide boy to write that description.

It's strange, isn't it? I also feel insecure if I go out without my mobile. Spoken like a true addict.

That's the point I see here. Technology is great if it helps you do something you couldn't do before. If a solar lamp allows you to study in the evenings, that's great. If it's what you need to do to feed your family. But so much of it is just there to make us buy more stuff! So yes, we should...

I've lived on a boat for eight years, while I'm currently on a mooring with mains I have spent most of my time depending on batteries that were either charged by diesel or my solar panels. I've tried lots of things, and come to the conclusion that any solar device designed to charge a mobile...

Hello I have thought long and hard about this, and although I have always got by without one in the past want to buy my first GPS. I'm going to be a long way from home when I visit Sweden this summer, and although I will of course have a map and compass I want something that will provide...

I always take: My mobile phone A head torch (plus bike lights, if I'm cycle touring) I sometimes take My radio, if there's something I really want to know about for that trip (the weather, for example, or if there's something going on in current affairs) I don't like the idea of...
