    Cotswolds Outdoor email about lightweight kit.

    Pretty brave sticking your head above the parapet on a forum - so hats off to the Cotswold rep... Also I was pretty chuffed with a purchase from there before Christmas... I had been looking for a replacement to my Mini-Maglite and had bought my student son an LED Lenser P3 as part of a fun...

    Chain saw

    Back in May I purchased a Ryobi 36v chainsaw... I had a reasonable amount of processing to do and in fairness to it and me it did the job... but by early December the motor doesn't function... Now that New Year is over I will pick up the receipt and take it all back to B&Q either for a refund or...

    Biolite, are they worth it?

    is powered by this... A mug full of cat litter gives a burn time of an hour... easy to start with a couple of softwood kindle flowers and waxed paper! And it keeps the power brick topped up that in turn charges the phone... I am getting to like the Biolite more! :D
