    Be a real man!

    Recommendations for a knife for the field

    Ex Wo2 in the reserves and I can tell you that the most you're going to need is a max 3" folding pocket knife, or even a multi tool with a blade. Something decent but not too expensive as it can get lost or "obtained" by someone else.

    The 'I've found a bargain' thread

    They do look good, the bit that makes me laugh is the hilarious mock ups making it look as big as a full size BBQ when it's nowhere near that size!

    Book or Kindle?

    I've got both and although I love my kindle with about 150 books on it, especially when it's a series and I'm about to finish one of the books. There's still something about browsing a second hand book store or a charity shop that's just irresistible.

    Cheese With Hot Dog?

    Ok I voted yes, mainly because after reading the various points raised here I started to think about the delicious combinations that you could have with some sweated down onions and a nice strong cheddar or even some blue cheese!

    Government consultation on banning large knives and machetes

    Yep I get this all the time, especially annoying after I've used my knife to cut up an apple for the kids snack while we're out!

    Lee Enfield oil bottle

    British Red why do you have to show me lovely things like that!! Now I've got to stop myself looking at auction sites, although personally I want the sniper version with the cut down front woodwork!!

    Best current rugged phones for outdoors use - what's your opinion?

    I bought a blackview phone which although heavy had a great battery life and seemed nice and rugged. Until today when I knocked it out of my van and it fell screen down onto a stony car park and the screen is toast, here's where the issue comes up. Nobody local will repair the screen so my...

    Today I have been making...

    I think I may have to make some of these, can I ask what size wick and small pipe you used? Actually don't worry, I used the search function and found other posts which told me. I'm getting lazy in my (not so) old age :)

    I keep wondering about a cloak, they seem to tick a number of boxes for me as I tend to run pretty warm when wearing waterproofs.
