the first pair of British army boots i had were actually the most comfortable boots i ever had. probably because i soaked them for a day and molded them to fit my feet better, use a huge amount of polish to make the leather much softer and the sole became very cushoney and soft. don't know...

i've had 3 pairs of these, new, not army issued or second hand, all 3 have had the exact same issue. after a year or 2 of wearing them, the whole of the bottom just falls off. 2 pairs have just partially come apart, leaving chunks of shoe where ever i walk, but 1 pair the whole of the bottom...

i've been looking at magnesium firelighters, they seem to be expensive, but then i learnt that most metal Pencil Sharpeners are actually made out of magnesium (did anyone else know this!!??) so, could i buy a bunch of metal pencil sharpeners, use something to grind them when i need to make a...

This is the message i just got from the seller today, so i guess he know's who reported him. 'Conglatuation sir.. You made my account down.. I can't sell anything on ebay from now on. MC008 MC067 Restricted 100% We can't sell anything on ebay in the futurn... '

it works just fine, for now that is. as you would expect from a genuine LED Lenser p17 (from video's i have seen online) and performs just as well as my P7. imagine you took one of these with you, your up a mountain using it, and the dam thing starts to flicker and then cut off. as is the case...

it's unlikely to be a high priority case anyhow, probably just more informative then letting things slip as to what they were going to do, 1 person selling fake torch's is hardly of any concern to them, they have huge cases, this is minor, i doubt the case will be of high priority. in any case...

i got a P7 and P5 off of ebay, pretty cheap and they were genuine (had them checked also after this purchase!) update: contacted a lot of people who have bought from him (via feedback left) got 3 replies from people, 2 have checked theirs with LED lenser and they have also bought fakes. have...

i've still got it, i've already emailed as many people who bought from him and left feedback to get theirs checked out. the sellers started selling LED Lenser head torch's now, i dont think they have the serial numbers. now checking he seems to have also changed his USER ID. was -top-leader...

TL/DR Bought a torch, found out it's a fake, got refund, no response from Ebay or Traiding standards, seller has listed more fakes. what to do!? so i bought a LED Lenser P17 on ebay (yea i know) the seller had 1700+ feedback, positive for the last few months, all the negative was checked and...

i was looking at the Lenser P14 or P17, they look pretty good.

(quick summery if you dont want to read it all) torch died, recommend a new one for around £37 (full question) so my Maglite 6d, heavy and not that bright, died when a battery leaked inside and got stuck. I used it quite a lot, was like a workout using the thing every time though. Duracell...

it's an old Berghaus dart 28, had it for years and it's been on a lot of trips, would retire it if i could find another one like it but quite tricky finding a new one, think they were stopped being made in blue a long time ago. was thinking of using Nikwax stuff that you can spray onto tents...

i've got an old rucksack that i've used a lot and want to keep it going, but on the inside, what looks like the water proof coating is peeling off, anything i can use to sort this out?

do you grease your torches? what do you use?? i've got loads of good quality torch's, but haven't got a clue what to use on the O ring seals or the threads on the caps that you screw. so do you grease the threads and/or O rings, and what do you use?

after finding myself in need of the broken turbo flame lighter, i've actually found a fix for it. this will probably void the warrenty, but be a lot less hassle. and this is a fix for the original click breaking problem. only do this if your not going to take it back or return it for a...
