    Where can I but a decent ferrorod striker?

    Hi Big Monster, not wanting to pour doubt over the previous replies, but there are plenty of tiny details to your question that will make a world of difference, depending on your intentions. From personal experience, I dislike hacksaw blade strikers as they tend to bite more material off than is...

    Waiting to flood

    I thought about you having to go through it again - I thought about calling but didn't in case you were busy bailing or lifting stuff. I've had water issues by proxy, had to do some mechanic-ing to our water pump which had worn out over the last twenty years since I replaced it last time...

    Terava skrama

    I have both, had the 240 for a few years, but only recently bought the 200. They are both very capable tools - however, by simple virtue of the additional length and weight, the 240 is the better chopper - but it doesn't end there; the better chopper is also noticeably heavier to carry and...

    Reattaching the soles on surplus German army boots?

    £74.95 (their standard costs for replacement soles and return postage) plus the cost of posting to them - so about £80 all in. I did also ask about them replacing an eyelet, but they didn't have any of the type that I wanted - that would have been an extra £10. They replaced the cushioned...

    Reattaching the soles on surplus German army boots?

    Up until a fortnight ago, I'd have said Shoegoo too, However, since the cooler weather hit, I dug out an old pair of Lowa's on which the inner sole had sadly crumbled. I had always been told that they could never be repaired, but I gave these guys a call - https://www.bootrepaircompany.co.uk/...

    Map cases

    Funny you should say that - I still have a map that I "Fabloned" in about 1985 and apart from one worn through hole, remains readable and useable. At the time we'd iron the map flat, roll the fablon on it, (no air bubbles as the paper was porous) then throw it in a bath of water for a long soak...

    Can you answer this question?

    This could get all kinds of deep & meaningful and really does merit the phrase that - "Until you go, you can't understand - and once you have been you can't explain!" There is the delightful anticipation for the next one, that begins even before leaving the site of the one you are at! There are...

    Radio communications?

    The Baofeng units are quite capable things and with some thought and a little pre-planning can get around most of the Cambrian Mountains - I've used them on mountain events and the WRGB! A call to your local amateur radio club should put you in touch with someone who can advise on licencing -...
