Welcome to the forum.

They are cheap! Also simple….but, water companies use filters and flocculants to remove particles and turbidity in order for the chlorine to be effective. Water companies also use UV. Which is a solution which is also available to backpackers.

There are filtration systems that do remove viruses. https://purehydration.com/pages/independent-testing Also MSR Guardian Grayl GeoPress

No worries:bigok: t’was just a thought. I too have got a kick from having new gear. That said, I have had five premium packs second hand and only one had a problem, and was sold on at no loss. Three second hand tents that have all been good, and some other bits of gear. I fear you will...

Would a second hand Vaude Terraquattro 3P be suitable? I happen to know of one in need of a home that would be within that budget, :rolleyes3:. Practically new condition, cannot have been used more than a couple of times before health problems forced its elderly owner to cease camping. He...

I know the phrase “buy once, cry once.” But if this is a first tent, then going for a packable 4 season seems like it could be trying to take several steps all at the same time. Maybe too many steps for the budget? Four season tents are not required to camp in winter if more sheltered sites...

Hello and welcome. :camping: It’s nice to see someone your age interested in the outdoors, interested in building gear, and interested in forums! All of which interests can seem like harking back to days gone by! ;) I haven’t sewn a full pack, just some dockable pockets, but I am just...

There were a small but unknown number of rats around my mum’s bird feeders earlier this year. Got a snap trap from B&Q, which proved too stiff for my mum to set. Since we have a cat and the birds, I built a box to put the trap in. The mice loved it….crapped and peed all over it. Caught two...

And the Scots?

That was not me being disparaging. I didn't say it was bad that he used AI, just that it looked like AI. If Dobson is who he says and all that he says is true, fantastic. If he shares how he wrote something that is structured and phrased to look like AI and multiple AI checkers show as 100%...

Terminus: I reckon the S35VN version at £119 would be good for Goldfish, but I would be hesitant to recommend anything in D2 that would be taken fishing on salt water.

Welcome. I am going to go out on a limb here for a compliment and say that that is one of the most impressive examples of AI writing I have seen used for an introduction. What prompts did you use?

Hello Jakemaan (Keshy, Tu5ive, Jidex, Abana) Going by your opening post, you seem to have a lack of imagination. The least you could do with your opening post is to craft something unique for us rather than just copy and paste the same one used on the Trifive forum (twice under different names)...

Great, thank you for your reply!! Your local choice isn’t that different from that on the mainland! :lmao: I think my local gun shop had some Spyderco once, but they were not anything I would want to use for field dressing game. Anyway, ordering from Heinnie is safe as houses. I don’t know...
