    Stock metal for blades?

    Some makes are far less superb than others. I did do a test on some of the more popular brands a few years ago. If I can find my results I will post them up here.

    After a new canoe

    I haven't used one but it is very heavy and has limited stowage space. You can get Canadian canoes with seats for kayak type paddling maybe that would be a better compromise?

    Memorials

    I am generally OK with this sort of thing, particularly by the road where there has been a fatal accident. If it makes people feel better, it is OK with me, If it makes people think and drive more carefully, that's a bonus :) One memorial plaque that I do object to is on the front of a local...

    Lords Wood meet 17-19 December 2021

    Will be setting off in the morning when packed and will be popping in at the camo shop on the way if anyone wants something picking up. Do you know what the field is like Steve? might be a bit soft for 2WD cars. Is it best to drop kit off at the end of the track and park at the farm this weekend?

    Buffalo Special 6 - astonished

    I had a Buffalo cycling top (probably still have it somewhere) but stopped using it as it was too warm. Even in a blizzard I had all the zips fully open trying to keep cool. The other problem was the crotch strap, it used to catch under the saddle which would often result in some painful...

    Clamshell style tactical packs - worth the hassle?

    I have a cheap normal daysack that I use for walking/hiking, filled with a days gear it only weighs a little more than my 5.11 clamshell type pack does empty. The 5.11 pack is great if you are not carrying it far or as a macho handbag but all the zips and buckles do make it a bit too heavy to...
