I must say, I’m really surprised the Savotta mat is so low. I have one although I’ve not used it in really cold weather since getting Thermarest XTherm. I’d assumed, since Finland is so cold in winter, it would be much higher!

I have many, some my grandfather’s, some my father’s, and the rest mine, mainly newer (1970s to present) ones. This is one I keep coming back to for its simplicity, it takes a lovely edge and I like the worn blade- I’m not sure who’s side of the family it came from, but I think my grandfather on...

I’ve kept looking to no avail. :confused:

I have a pair of these, at least I think they’re the same thing. I bought mine in Kathmandu 30 odd years ago. Mine have symbols embossed around them. Sadly though, not knowing anything about them, I didn’t try the other ones on offer, mine produce an ever so slight off beat as they’re slightly...

Would love it but finances prevent. I do want to ask about the sheath though. Is it formed from one length of wood that’s been split, hollowed and glued back together; or is it one length of wood that has had the gap for the parang carved or drilled out whilst keeping the length intact? I have...

Last went there on a British Rail mystery trip around 1979, aged 14. I remember the museum was especially interesting, full of items from the whaling industry and fishing in general, there was also the William Wilberforce museum, he was instrumental in bringing about the abolition of slavery, a...

Rather than using a 3rd party, I would use eBay. Gauge your price by seeing how many other identical items are for sale, check their condition, also check to see what has already sold and at what price. Next, if it looks to be a popular item and there aren't any others for sale, might be worth...

If you actually read my post, I said pretty much that: “whilst a great many of these people seem to be antagonistic idiots who have had previous legal issues involving the police”.

Amen to that! Occasionally I watch some of the “auditing” videos, mainly Auditing Britain, whilst a greta many of these people seem to be antagonistic idiots who have had previous legal issues involving the police, some, like AB, do do it to improve the way the police respond to photography in...

This is a very good point. One very sneaky thing some can do is get you to admit “well yes, I can see that my “*******” could make some people afraid, or it “could be to inflict violence on someone”…..etc. even though that is not your intention, you wouldn’t dream of doing that. In one case...

Oh so 80s! The pictures remind me of a picture in the local paper of an old school mate, he always styled himself on John Travolta- Saturday Night Fever at school (later 70s/early 80s. He’d opened a restaurant and the picture featured him and 3 of his waitresses hugging his legs, just like that...

I have the Särmä TST Thermal Cloak in 67g/m2, they’re quite a bit/ a hell of a lot more affordable than the Jervens. I’d say, the main difference is, as far as I know, the Jervens’ zips are waterproof, the Särmä‘s zip is not. Personally, I think it actually helps with condensation, you just...

I have the Nitecore HC65, it’s my main light and it’s great, like a previous poster said, bombproof. I got it off Ray Mears site, basically, there was so much choice, so many options, I was overloaded. I just thought that if that’s pretty much the only light Ray Mears offers then it must be...

Once America starts interfering with a sovereign nation, it never ends well. Congo, S. America, Middle East etc.

Like these? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Amabro-Stainless-Bookmarkers-Bookmarks-Teachers/dp/B0D1GF737C I have a rather nice old silver bookmark of my grandfather’s that clips on the page in the same way, but there is a lot more protruding out of the page, which is fine if you just put the book down...

I’m very impressed with it, it came this morning. You can really choke up on the head. Very nice!

They sound very similar to an outfit called prepareforadventure.co.uk back in early 2020. I think the guy who ran it did a runner with a lot of peoples money, including mine.

PM sent.

That’s the one I have, I was in two minds at the time though, which to get. It’s rather tempting to get the single bevel as well, but I think I’ll hold out for a lighter carving axe to complement the heavy GB one, either the Svante Djarv or the Karkhoff although, the Oscar Rush ones look to be...

I should have asked, does it have Ordinance Survey maps or equivalent in, like the Pathfinder ones? UK in particular. Not familiar with these new fangled things!:)
