Nice bag Andy, does make me smile at someone in the sales department coming up with "superlight" for a 1.8kg bag though :lmao:

As said, it really depends on what you want to do, a torch that offers a great beam for close up work like reading isn't necessarily going to have a good beam for running at night off-road. Some things to consider when choosing a torch Beam pattern A torch with a more flood type beam will be...

Great thing here can often be the worst thing advice wise, in that we have such a varied amount of members doing such a varied amount of activities things like clothing recommendations can be a nightmare. Clothing that's good for sitting round a camp all isn't necessarily the best for climbing...

I have, and I find it more morally repugnant that folks keep having serval kids knowing full well they can't even feed one. Than folks that work hard, look after their finances, live responably and throw away food that they cooked when their eyes were bigger than their belly. Sent from my...

Great review, thanks for sharing. Seems like it's a LOT of weight to be lugging around for such an inefficient system though. I'm using a Vargo triad or Evernew burner with either a 750ml or a 450ml cup Vargo triad = 26g Evernew burner with Trivet = 56g 450ml ti cup = 71g

It's a Edgun Lelya

Agree completely and the op's attitude stinks. Problem is some folk think that a night out 1 mile from their car twice a year qualifies them as kit "experts" You get folks that think walking round the back of the tent for a pee is a decent hike "advising" folks that intend to walk 10 miles in...

It would be a shame for the thread to get closed because a couple of members have nothing to offer except a few school play yard type taunts. We have had this happen on our land, i have destroyed these type of eyesores in the past because they have caused problems. You obviously disagree which...

I have no problem with a father passing on any type of skills to their kids, i do have a problem when they bugger off home and leave a dangerous eyesore on my land. If they came to me and asked i would offer as much help and guidance as i could, but it would be on the understanding it would...

What a fantastic outing, hope i am still going strong at that age.

So in your opinion kids should be left to do anything they want as long as it fits under some vague title as "playing"?

As a off-road biker and mountain biker i am absolutely disgusted that some members are condoning the sort of behaviour they are, even as a joke it's disgusting. We had a group of belligerent hikers shouting a few Sundays ago. I had nipped back to the house and left the kids with a couple of...

Good job on tearing it down I've dismantled several of these types of shelters on my property. They are an eyesore and a health hazard to both humans and wildlife and it's just plain laziness and ignorance that they are being left up. Kids will be kids, but they should also be taught to play...

I use a sheet of window security film http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/Window_Film/Solutions/Markets-Products/Residential/Safety-Security_Window_Films/ Waterproof, light and extremely tough

Fair enough. The point i was trying to make was, because you've put more effort into potatoes and your wind turbine that you have in earning and saving money IF your wife losses her job you are going to struggle to get the bills paid straight after her last check has been cashed. This is...
