    Differential full down underquilt.

    Looks a fantastically well made piece of kit. Where did you get the pertex? I'm struggling to get endurance and microlight, can only get 4. One question about the construction though. If your baffles are 3", how can you get upto 5" of loft? Do you not mean height of baffle if you've...

    Harkila Pro Hunter Jacker & Trousers (XL)

    you cant say it might end early/for sale elswhere or ebay will cancel the auction, its against ebay rules. I did have a bid, which was retracted, then the winning bidder (who bid in the last few seconds of the auction) on both items emailed me to say he wasnt willing to pay the winning bid, made...

    Harkila Pro Hunter Jacker & Trousers (XL)

    I've had several people PM'ing asking why I'm selling them. So for ease, I'll put it on here: I just don't wear them. I have a Norrona Recon which gets worn all the time, usually with a pair of 5:11 trousers which I love, so they're just sitting in the wardrobe gathering dust, there is...

    Zebra Billy Modification

    I just use a twig, bit of stick, fork, anything lying close by. I don't think it needs to be any more complicated than that to be honest.

    tree climbing

    What he's doing constitutes criminal damage. He risks not only prosecution, but civil action by the landowner for the cost of the tree and or other costs associated with the damage.

    Denatured Alcohol

    I bought some meths from B&Q near the end of last year. the conversation at the till went like this (true story): till man: can I ask you, do you intend to either sniff it, drink it, or otherwise abuse it? me: yes, I'm going to go back to my car, wrap it in a paper bag, then swig it...

    Snow Chains

    Going to have a bit of a rant here. When I was a kid (70's) it seemed to snow all the time in winter. everyone had winter tyres (basically very soft remoulds - very cheap) and when it snowed, people just shovelled the snow out from the drive and went to work. Now you may say this is looking at...

    Windproof but breathable inner tents

    I think it depends on what you're camping for. are you walking/camping? canoe camping? car camping? as the cumbrian points out, there are loads of winter tents with snow valances, which in this country, you can juust attach clips and peg them down to create a pretty windproof solution, but you...

    Footwear choice for snow/icey weather

    Some recent shots

    ok gotcha. I do think though that the channels solution is the better one. If you open both your 1st derwentwater image and your second in photoshop, compare the histograms. in the first, you see a peak off the top on the left side (shadow detail loss), on the second, you see more data loss on...

    Some recent shots

    not sure why you're converting the file twice then "blending" them together? you dont need to do that, any changes can be made using the red, green and blue channels using layers. When you adjust an image, whether its a RAW file or not, unless you do the adjustments via the channels you...

    Some recent shots

    actually, composition apart, there is another problem with the first shot (sorry) it's underexposed by about a stop. the problem you have is that the light reflecting on the snow is fooling the meter into the underexposure, and to fix it, you cant just whack up the levels as the snow with...
