@Kepis This guy is very good with self help for situations like this... Language warning..

In for the ride... I would say judging by your less than gleaming short review that it was a good one to miss :roflmao:

Haha sorry, my bird identification skills are not grand, I would use the term eagle/buzzard somewhat interchangeably but I acknowledge incorrectly. I did a quick youtube "buzzard call" video and yes, it was a buzzard!

Finland is somewhere both wife and I are very keen to go and your expedition is going to be very inspiring. Only read part of the first post, but going to come back to this this evening and will be really keen to read it.

So, we (wife and I) had an unscheduled day off yesterday, decided we'd hop over to Cornwall and do some walking on the coast path. Quite a coll breeze, but a lovely sunny day. My wife saw a slow worm we saw lots of deer very close, I think I saw the bum end of an adder... a dusty brown...

@Toddy Can't overly agree or disagree. I think it depends what the scenario is and what the city is. In Devon we have 2 cities, Exeter and Plymouth, both of these are effectively large towns more than cities, by comparison to most of the UK cities anyway. I think if we're facing some sort of...

In a societal collapse... anywhere but cities... I'm talking about total breakdown and anarchy.. not simply "oh we've had a power cut, everyone leave now"..

@sidpost Throwing caution to the wind, I'd agree with your sentiments. The UK doesn't have so much of the same racial divisions (they do however exist), but more like the root cause in the US, we do have class divisions. In the event of a total breakdown of society or even a pocket of societal...

I've never heard of these :thinking:

What a lovely forum :smile:

I also plan to become a cannibal in a global collapse, so I don't see there being a food shortage for me...

I know a few guys around the county with breweries and a couple folks with distilleries... I know where I'm heading if it all goes Pete Tong :lmao:

@Erbswurst & @Kadushu Whilst you both may get a little joy from knocking FR, as someone who is 6'6"~2m tall, I require leg length which is impossible to find in most other clothes, the cut and the style and the comfort from the trousers makes them totally worthwhile for me. Now if I was sub...

Define wash - Washing machine I suppose. My down jacket hasn't been washed much, but isn't much, t-shirts, socks, underwear, thermals/base layers get washed daily as used. Vidda pros which I waxed however.... I can't be bothered to rewax them,...

At risk of being the smelly one.. I'm wondering how often you guys wash things like your trousers etc? I only ask because with great excitement I got a nice block of wax with which to rewax my vidda pros, haven't done it in over a year and much like the excitement when I had a hair brained idea...

oo-er.... ...not quite my scene, I'm happily married...to a woman, I might add!

Fitters that do that kinda **** need to have a foam cartridge release into their behind!

Erbs suggestions are always really good starting points, they were for me anyway. He helped me with various specific bits and bobs and other things I started with his suggestions and found a few bits that either fit my parameters or wallet or both. If you don't have a sleeping bag then I...

I'm with Broch... you already know a lot. Also, Welcome :)
