    Walking sticks and staffs

    In terms of wrapping i would suggest turks heads knots. There are loads of different styles and patterns. This book has many types of braiding including Turks Head which work well on leather or paracord. It worked for me...

    Walking sticks and staffs

    I used to use 'traditional' size walking stick (around waist height) I've since changed to a longer stick with a shepherds crook about armpit height or even a little lower. I find it's not tiring in use because it's not too high but the extra length can be really useful.

    Thingymyjig - Help please

    If you're putting a fair amount of force and pressure through the handle you might be better off getting 2 separate handles and making it so the head of the tool is interchangeable?

    Thingymyjig - Help please

    So M10 or M12 size? You can get threaded bar and internal threaded bar or a few nuts welded together. Is it a permanent join or intended to be packed down?

    UV protection hiking shirt.

    Craghoppers are good. I've taken them to the jungle and cold climates as well as UK. Performed very well. If your pockets are a bit deeper brands like Rab or Rohan also do options I think.

    Flecktarn Jacket - "Poacher Pocket"?

    Some people can be very particular about camo. Overly so IMO. I have seen people reject something because it doesn't 'match' the other camo stuff they have. Even on the inside of a coat, some people might not be happy.

    Flecktarn Jacket - "Poacher Pocket"?

    I don't understand this at all? Of course it's on the inside, that's what a poachers pocket is. but why does the source material dictate where a pocket is located on a garment?

    Scam Warning: Account Hacking and PayPal Friends and Family

    That's not the same thing What you describe is a normal way of calculating a sale price. It doesn't change the fact Payapl charge a fee for the G&S part of the service they provide. Separately From a BCUK mod point of view - and only on this forum, we have more reports of sellers failing to...

    Scam Warning: Account Hacking and PayPal Friends and Family

    Indeed Pat. The issue here is, do we really know who is at the other end of the PM? A bank transfer is risky because there's no recourse if you don't get your products you paid for. Not a problem if you know the person. Paypal has 2 options - friends and family (F&F) which has low/no fees and no...

    Really good budget clothing

    My first coat when i started as a Gamekeeper aged 16 was a market stall wax jacket. Worn all day, everyday it lasted a few years with multiple patches and reproofing. Eventually died when i couldn't patch the patches anymore!
