Bamboo is, at least, readily biodegradable, and has other benefits such as the rootstock continueing to produce more all the time. But the rayon fibres are often mixed with viscose or cotton.

I had an item go missing, and I’d totally forgotten I’d ordered it. I only remembered when I got an email from Aliexpress to say they’d refunded my account. This happened with no prompt from me at all, it was a nice surprise.

Monoculture grown cotton is pretty bad for the environment, conversely recycled and organically grown cotton is considered one of the most eco friendly natural fibres. The washing of the cotton does involve a lot of water though. Water is something we have a lot of, what we don’t have is a...

How long were you waiting to slip that in? Or would you rather not say? :35::lmao:

You’ll need 2 cups of tea and an hour put aside then :p

That looks really good, sort of no nonsense knife that will do what you tell it to. I bet you’re chuffed with it.

I’m terrible for buying stuff, but I do make sure it’s sound quality before I do. I bought a Keela Falkland in 2010 which cost a lot of money. And some Bates boots that weren’t cheap. I’m still using the Keela, I’ve sent it off to them for repairs and cuff replacement a couple of times, I shut a...

All posted today, first class, many thanks for the interest.

Found that paddle strop on eBay. Pretty good for doing the grunt work. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/404976649619

A paddle strop might be a good alternative. I had a big diamond plate one and can’t seem to google up another one. It was great for kitchen knives, not too much of a polish, more a very fine toothy edge. Being able to use it like a file helps me with my angles rather than moving the knife over...

Ah, good stuff. I love the waxed canvas and old style tarp but a little lightweight like that and you can have a wind and rainproof shelter in a few minutes. I’ve got a DD one and split 100 feet of paracord into 4 with clips to attach wherever I needed them. You can also have a tent, this is s...

What’s it made from, I’m assuming it’s canvas? Even just used as an awning on the front of the tipi and you've got a dry cooking and sitting space.

Good haul, definitely ‘buy once, cry once’ purchases. I’ve got a couple of Civivi knives and was looking at Vosteed too, but there are enthusiasts about saying how nice the action is on them, and I agree, but that the action on a Petrified Fish is sublime. I’m going to find out if they're...

True this. My Ducato LWB van is still classed as light goods, and I was told by DVLA even if I put another window (the reason you see so many portholes on vans) I would never get it changed to campervan. Despite pilot chairs, table, sink/hob, loo/shower, gas cupboard, gas/electric boiler, fridge...

If you can’t see one listed, give them a ring. Make sure you’ve got a cup of tea on the go and half an hour spare, those two are mega enthusiasts and will happily chat stoves and lamps for hours.:thumbsup:

All of these sold or pending funds now, many thanks.

Black and the lanyard green one sold. Just the one unopened green one left. If anyone particularly likes these little glowing zip pull lanyards, let me know and I can make a couple more. I’m waiting on stock of the Maratac glowies but I’m sure I have 2 left.

I may make a second cup of tea…

Well, that’s a first! :D

3 of these for sale, they’re great little lights, moonlight, 3 levels simple UI Two are green anodised 6000-6500K cool white. One has had it’s tail magnet (nearly) killed with a jet flame lighter, as I don’t like taking a torch out of my pocket with coins etc attached, or it interfering with my...
