Over here in the Netherlands the standard is a maximum of 4 weeks of doxycycline if you have been diagnosed with lyme and i have never heard of GP's keeping ticks. More recent studies in...

    Best anti-tick clothing ?

    Virus software rip off

    Advice from a website that is sponsored by advertisements from anti-virus-developers is also not very trustworthy.... I work in IT for more than 25 years and managed multiple datacentres, i have seen the security centre from Microsoft in Seattle. There is no solution that is 100% virus/spam proof.

    Windows defender comes with Windows, so there is really no need to pay for "extra" virus-software.

    Lanshan 2 review (not mine)

    Same here, i have experienced really bad weather and winds in my hammock/tarp, worse than the tent in the video. Up to the point i was amazed on how much a hammock/tarp can handle and still i'd stay dry and warm in my quilts.

    Woolpower 400 and 600 jackets

    I own both, the 600 is a little heavy but very warm in the winter. The 400 gets more usage because it is more useful outside winter. I also own the vest in 400, i like that one when i'm out in the woods. It layers great with other things.
