I weighed mine and it’s definitely not nearly 4kg, I can’t remember the weight - it’s on a thread on here somewhere, but from memory it’s sub-2kg As an aside it’s a superb pack, I have 2 - my OD green genuine Lowe alpine and a DPM awry copy - both are excellent but the Lowe alpine is a bit...

I make my own uco candles out of beeswax and spent ages testing wicks to see which worked best. I can’t remember what size I settled on eventually - will have to have a look, if they aren’t 20s I will pick some up! Thanks! Ed

I have been using this often for 3 months now and i dont really rate it tbh, the crusader metal base works better imo

Thanks Red, i think i will pick up one of those kits, looks easy to fit and not much money really

Ooh i have an eu20i and didn’t know you could propane them - how hard is it to do? I had a letter from EDF saying my electric bill is going to increase by 54% from April due to the price rise of oil. I thought EDF were predominantly nuclear so I am missing something here. I don’t know. Also...

I will have a look for you

I am in Sussex and have a landrover and trailer I could stuff full of stuff. I don’t mind coming over to kent

I have one, very very good backpack - a purchaser won’t be disappointed

Yep, I filter with the MB bag then Puritab or boil it. I also only take from either large bodies of water (lakes for example) or flowing water like a river (not drainage ditches)

I bought the browns version to compare with my genuine millbank - it works and clears faster but it definitely doesn’t remove as much as a genuine millbank bag

i should have weighed the bones, but guesstimating the whole pelvis is second largest after the skull in term of volume, but it doesnt feel hugely 'dense' - the leg bones feel a bit more solid if that makes sense so may weigh more?

Yeah and they angle back far more than I was expecting, there is a surprisingly large range of movement where they join to the spine so there is a lot of expansion in the rib cage. Will be interesting to see it all as one object

Havent updated this in a while as I have been busy moving house Abs renovating the new house. It’s still a building site but I am just stuck waiting on other people now. So back to some hobbies! I prepped, drilled, rodded and glued the left hand ribs to the vertebrae. Took a surprisingly large...

Get one. I have had mine a decade. I love it.

What a simple but elegant solution

Oh absolutely. The pros far outweigh the minor cons to be honest. I have had my hood on for about the past month, it definitely improves the shirt when it’s raining or very windy but if it’s dry and not hugely cold then a bobble hat is fine. I have never used the face cover and dont expect I...

Oh other things I did - that are very minor The shirt has 4 zips, - one central neck zip with one slider with a string zip pull on it. - 2 side zips with 2 sliders so you can open it wide to slip it on and off, and also have the zip open and closed but the bottom portion staying together by...

Just posting my thoughts from another thread in this one for completeness I wear mine nearly every weekend and twice a day in the week at the moment walking the dog. It’s fine. There is no noticeable wear but it isn’t as fluffy as it was when brand new but then I have tech washed it once -...

I like mine. Albeit I have only had it 6months ish. I don’t have the issue with the rolling cuffs, I am not sure what would be causing that? I wear mine nearly every weekend and twice a day in the week at the moment walking the dog. It’s fine. There is no noticeable wear but it isn’t as fluffy...
