    I can uncomfortably feel every thread in my socks whilst hiking.

    Another vote for Darn Tough socks here. I always swore by the old Arctic issue socks- the cream coloured ones with the red pin stripe around the top, until I discovered these. Yeah, a bit pricey at about £17 per pair, but with a lifetime, straight swap guarantee, that's got to be money well...

    New Countryside Code

    Yeah we have ranger services, but only on the national parks or forest parks normally, but they are so thin on the ground that you hardly ever see them. I know that in Scotland farmers have authorisation to shoot dogs who attack their animals, and quite rightly so. I do long distance hiking of...

    New Countryside Code

    There should be more visible patrols in our countryside areas dishing out fines for littering and other offences, now that the majority of the population will be spending their time within our borders for the foreseeable future. This would be a good deterrent against countryside public order...

    New Countryside Code

    Absolutely mate, boils my blood...they've done the hard bit, picking it up and bagging it. If they can't be arsed to clean up after their animals they shouldn't be allowed to keep them. Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

    Scottish fishing legalities

    Hi mate, Loch Doon in Galloway Forest Park is free to fish. There may also be other Lochs on the Forest Park free to fish, but I don't want to quote any names, as I'm not 100% sure. ATB, Allan Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

    Outhaus Merino blankets?

    Here's a few photos of the hardware for the leather straps, one or two of the guys mentioned that there were no photos of them on the website..... They are good enough for what they are intended....holding a rolled up blanket together! ATB, Allan Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

    Outhaus Merino blankets?

    Hi Matarius, I have one of these blankets and I am very happy with it. The weight of it is 1.74 kg. I have plenty of experience with wool blankets being ex British Army, and these are of far superior quality than any other ones that I have come across over the years. I have also washed it in...

    Lightweight but waterproof

    I have just spent the last month researching a new lightweight rain jacket for summer long distance hiking, and have just bought a Rab Downpour Plus jacket. Made of Pertex 2.5, and has pit zips (which were the game changer for me). The hood is also designed to go over a climbing helmet, so...

    Wanted Hilleberg Akto or Soulo

    Hi mate, If you go on to Ebay you can set up a notification so that you get an email whenever someone puts one up for sale. You normally get one or two a week popping up....but be prepared to pay over £800 for one. ATB, Allan Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

    Sold Two M390 fixed blade knives.

    Yeah I think it's very similar steel. When I first got the M4 I was trying to touch up the edge with my Lansky system with the normal oilstones, I was sitting there for hours and getting nowhere, all they were doing were scratching the steel. I ended up buying 2 Lansky diamond stones, a coarse...

    Sold Two M390 fixed blade knives.

    You'll be pleased with your M4. I have one with green micarta scales and it's a fantastic blade steel. As Stiks mentioned though, you will need diamond stones to sharpen them otherwise you'll be there forever, M390 is an absolute beast to sharpen with anything other than diamond stones. You've...
