Ditto! :( Dave

Still no joy for me, drat. Dave EDIT: Back up

I was JUST about to send a PM as well, very annoying. :@ Dave

Down for me, anyone else unable to access?

The closest stuff I know of is the san bernadino and angeles forests, there's also stuff north of Santa Monica. But it's best to put in a few hours driving if you want to avoid the crowds. Are you on BCUSA as well? Thanks Ged, I'm always fairly careful. :) Dave

Welcome, I'm in Long Beach! Dave

The gloves wouldn't turn the hatchet blade but because they're so hard to cut through the injuries inflicted are more bruising then cutting. In other words instead of getting cut deeply you get hit with a very thin lump of metal. At least that's what I always understood. Dave

NI, I've just caught up on this thread, you're by far the most interesting person I've read about in a long time. Dave

This is what signalling devices, satellite phones and telling someone where you'll be/when you'll be back are for! Dave

Thanks Martyn, I'm glad I got it right. I need to get round to doing another CPR+ course as mine expired in 2006 and I think I'd like to do wilderness first aid too, but who has the time? :P Dave

Guys, I don't want to jump into the middle of the argument, but I would make the point that I as a relatively untrained first aider carry quick-clot for one eventuality. IF I get a HUGE bleed in the middle of nowhere and I can't stop it conventionally I am shoving that **** on there. As someone...

Which is why it will never receive the attention it should! :( David

What about replacing the stool with this?

There's no hope for some people, eh? *walks off shaking head and grumbling while fiddling with tweed cap* :p

Not me, I'm moving to California, and if we get snow there then there'll be bigger problems than driving.:p Dave

It's the standard Hennesy Hammock cord, I believe it is polyester sheathed spectra and 1/8" thick. Dave

So what you're saying is that you spammed the whole forum to contact a small number of people? Tut tut.:p Dave:D

Is it just me who's finding her an annoying bint? Just kill the snake already! Dave
