No. Stick with the sawyer for UK.

We agree in principal about the importance of the subject. We will have to agree to disagree about the wider aspects of the debate. If for no other reason than it decreases stress!

You should add that is your opinion, or viewpoint rather than it being a ‘but, generally speaking’. Maybe that’s framed by what you have seen, have experienced or the media and information you consume to be informed. My son is nearly 15 and I can say that he and his peers are far less concerned...

Fantastic. Looks like you had a great weekend.

You could also just replace it with ‘person’ and it would mean even less in trying to define what a man or indeed a woman is. Biologically men and woman’s are separate genders but two men of the same gender can very different as ‘persons’. When I read through the new comments on this old...

Yes, lots in the New Forest and surrounding area. I’ve heard and seen quite a lot this year. I tend to see a greater variety of all birds on the woodland edges or just outside of the ‘Forest’ where there is a a mix of hedgerow and farmland (if it’s not just intensive agricultural).

Car key and house key on mine. When I drive the OH‘s car I use the spare because she has all sorts of rubbish on her car key dangling about and making a racket.

Shorter legs in south wales so it’s all relative. :whistling:

And if he is going up twice a day then he is either extremely fit, or the hills are quite small! I’m probably more remote and lacking a mobile phone signal in the depths of the New Forest.

I carry a first aid kit as a mountain leader and outdoor instructor and it was only in the last first aid course they included use of a tourniquet for catastrophic bleeding. It was very easy and quick to make one with triangular bandages and we did so on the course. However when I walk solo I do...

This is for a solo waker. Not as part of a group first aid kit. Even then you can fashion a tourniquet from a triangular bandage or two. A person on their own is not going to be able to use a splint on themselves successfully. I’d also say that it would take enormous presence of mind to apply...

Usually meths is used with a light weight stove system and pot support.

Gas is safe, reliable and works down to below minus temperatures. Some gas stoves have a pre heater across the burner so you can effectively turn the cylinder upside down and burn liquid gas. Fuel stoves can flare up and if you don not sues good quality fuel the jets can block. I use Aspen 4...

Bless.

Well. I can’t afford to get a rogue hard peanut and damage my teeth! Blackcurrant jam is the best option in any jam scenario.

Peanut butter and jam. food of champions.
