You don't have to use plastic. Rough Timba who produces various widgets like a tripod top for the Lavvu uses corn starch instead. He says he can get 6 stone's worth of weight onto the below widget without breaking. It's just as hard as hard plastic...

I have been tempted to sell my size 3 for similar reasons but due to the fact they do not make them anymore the values just keep going up and up. The advice I got from the dedicated Facebook Lavvu groups was if you don't need the money then hang onto it. Sure some places like Military Mart...

250V seems on the high side, the official supply is 230V +10% or -6%. It used to be 240V +6% or -6% but was changed in 1995 to bring us in line with other countries. If your measuring 260V then your outside the tolerance of the supply. It shouldn't create the issue your describing but I would...

Unlike with air pads when sleeping on the floor where any cheapo pad "will do" for a short periods the same does not apply to hammocks. You will generally want a longer / wider hammock to get more comfortable in it. Unfortunately I have seen very few instances where buying a cheap hammock off...

Not used any in many years now, they just grind your computer to a halt with constant scanning. Traditional virus's (virii?) are not really a thing these days, it's more about malware so your better off with something like https://www.malwarebytes.com/mwb-download which you can just run every so...

Hi from Northampton

My OCD would disagree with you ;) I actually use the jungle blanket at home during the colder months due to it's lightweight and warm properties. Never been a fan of a lot of weight on me while sleeping.

Suggest doing as the above poster has. Have several e-mail address's, 1 for official use with banks, government etc, 1 for just generic things online that you don't care about etc. I have 3 e-mail address's and one of them is a paid for service which actually allows for you to add temporary...

Your not giving up any financial details to sign up to either C4 or the BBC iPlayer so not sure where your concerns lie?

The plain cloth is in interior, the patterned one the outside, you should also notice the outside cloth is slightly longer by a few mm. If it's dark and you can't see to tell the difference, lay out the blanket so when your under it the label is to the left of your feet. I have both the regular...

I fear this will become rare in future as it mostly grows on dead ash and our ash trees are disappearing due to Ash Die Back.

Love my Skrama also, it is marketed as that "one knife" that can do it all but like most big knives their main purpose is chopping. As much as I love mine I bought it as I assumed it could replace a regular knife and hatchet combo. Yes it "does the job" but it's very much a case of "jack off all...

Gutted, love your Winter Hiker hammock.

Once you have enough heat into a open fire it will burn wet wood though it would produce a fair amount of smoke so you need dry wood to get the heat up first. You can split wet wood to get to the inner wood which should be dry if it's not too thin and if no dry wood is available. A good tip is...

I'm in Northampton and was planning to go out camping that Saturday anyway. Not aware of anything happening locally for Mors.
