Received thanks. Very nice bit of kit. Let the cutting begin! :)

Sent pm.

Definitely Bon Scott for vocals, a unique voice, but I would say Highway to Hell is the best, although there’s not much in it to be honest! I got into them age 14 or 16 and still love them age 61, Highway to Hell is my go to album when cycling.:)

I’m in the same situation as you, cycle or walk. I often used mine to take large, often very large parcels/ boxes to the post office fastened to the bare frame with bungee cords. So versatile!

I remember seeing a few sales of them on various platforms although I can’t remember the prices. I was wandering myself whether they are still as fashionable as they once were, as there used to be quite a number of YouTube videos featuring them, especially about adding pockets etc. or whether...

Great idea! Did you have to join the boards together by nails or something, or are they just held by the outer “casing” of cement?

Did you get large size? I found it to be quite a bit roomier than the normal size.

I totally converted to quilts after getting a goose down IceFlame one, that takes me down to around 5°C. So much lighter and so comfortable to use, I use their straps to keep it in place.

I’d like a tin if there’s any left please.

I swear by these in summer, they’re great for keeping you dry, I believe the UV protection is 30 to 50. I get mine off season from their outlet section as they’re not cheap, to say the least! I got one for 70% off and my others for 50% off (£45). They have wicking mesh and plenty pockets. Men's...

All the gear, no idea!:)

Personally, like others have said, I’d bring it back to its former glory, it would make a great kitchen knife, maybe for carving the Sunday roast. I love old carbon steel knives, I have, and treasure my mother’s two old Sabatier carbon steel chef’s knives, probably bought in the 50s after she...

It’s a good price, I paid around £30 or more for mine a couple of years ago.

An excellent read, quite a bit of bushcrafty bits if I remember correctly. It’s also more adult oriented than Tom Sawer.

I stopped using them when they stopped sales of knives to the UK, there were a few decent sellers of vintage knives, especially old Sheffield folders, although at least one has now opened there own web site.
