I spent last night on the ground with my daughter, by Jove is it lumpy. She is desperate to hang, I’m going to encourage her [emoji6] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If you know someone that has similar fridge, see if you can borrow a cable. Or try eBay, I’ve found replacement cables for laptops and remote controlled hovercraft on there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

People do use toggles, when I started hammocking I joined a Hammock Forum and bought the Ultimate Hang book and found it very useful. Personally I’d want some confidence that the toggle would hold the forces involved and not slip. I use rings, having bought four from a Chandlers for a couple...

Similar story but from the other side, my wife works for a wool shop and received an email complaining that the wool received wasn’t what she ordered. My wife checked the orders: The wool received by the customer was her previous order, the order she was complaining about had been placed that...

I’ve used G-Wax, which seems to have done the job. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I can dry myself after a shower with a microfibre hand towel. Need to dab though rather than rub. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I did read a study on material for home made masks, which looked at various types of materials in the home and then scored them. Not surprisingly the ones that scored best on filtration scored worse on breathability. Essentially though triple layer cake out tops there was no real benefit going...

You know it’s going to be expensive when they call clothes apparel. I actually quite like the look of one of the waterproofs, but would want to see and touch one before I even considered paying the price for one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Have you considered getting a sharpening system such as a Lansky? Pretty simple to use and you get good results. First time can take a while as you may find you are putting a new edge on the blade, depending on the original grind. Also very therapeutic. There are also tools such as the...

Thought I’d be helpful and take a picture of mine, but it seems I’ve managed to snap the point off again [emoji15] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I did similar damage with one of mine, I took it to a cobblers to get it reground to a point. Cost me a couple of quid to get done. Funny not funny was the conversation, Me, “be careful it’s sharp” Cobbler, “ it will be when I, ow f*** “ On the other hand I had the point ground off my rescue...

I have a black and decker version. I must admit I never had much real use for it the cutting discs kept shattering and the drill was useless, I ended up using the drill bits with my full size drill. The only use I found was to polish my wedding ring. Sent using Tapatalk

I bought a Bluey Gaz stove when I was a Junior Leader in ‘86 the only time I used Hexi was in Basic. Very few people I knew used it, so why spend money on kit that never gets used and gets lobbed in the bin? The new stuff is probably better for the environment as well as cheaper, smaller and...

I have several of the Bear Grylls shirts made by Craghopper, at the time I think they were the next generation of the standard shirt, so had the flaps, extending collar and straps for keeping your sleeves rolled up. I wore one in China and it was brilliant, able to wash it at night in the...

If I am honest, the romance of a Land Rover outweighs the issues. Mine was a Friday afternoon special, but I kept it and forgave it far more than I have any other car I’ve ever owned. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I miss my D2 and every time I see another one I feel a little sad, luckily I’ve never seen my old one. It reached the point where there were some big costs on the horizon and my friendly mechanic said he didn’t want to work on it anymore. Things that were wrong with it, when it went were...

I have a Carnopy, it’s designed to be used off the back of a Hatchback. I bought it in a whim and then changed my car to a D2, so never used it. I’ve recently found it again, so when I get chance I will park my current car on some grass and try it out. If I remember correctly is had foam...

I have an Akubra Snowy River, it’s my second, great hat, but I find it too warm in the summer. Used mainly for walking the dog, when we had one, in the rain as I don’t like wearing a hood. I keep thinking about a Tilley but talk myself out of it. For Scouting in the rain I have a BP style hat...

How is that going to work on the Wye, does the border run down the middle or on the welsh sides river bank? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Everyone knows that if they had produced episode 1 first the whole thing would have died there and then. You need to have seen 3, 4 & 5 to have the strength to sit through 1, 2 & 3. I won’t comment on what you need for 8 & 9 as I can’t be bothered with them after my enthusiasm to see what...
