    Absolute bargain Wellingtons

    I doubt they will last long but at least they were cheap. I say that because mine have not made it past the unboxing stage before starting to degrade. At least the cat likes the box they came in. :D

    Absolute bargain Wellingtons

    Thanks BR. I owned some neoprene Grubs before - they lasted well considering the mileage and terrain I subjected them to. …So Ive just ordered a three pairs and negated the postage. Should be set for a while.

    hard wearing wellies that will last

    I found those Dunlop things only lasted me a few months before they started to fall apart. And they weren’t particularly comfortable during that time - The sole was way too thin and had zero ankle support. Started to let water in after a very short amount of time too. About a dozen or so wears...

    hard wearing wellies that will last

    A bit of a thread resurrection here but I just thought I’d report back on the Skellerup Quattro‘s that I bought off the back of the recommendations here back in beginning of winter 2019. First of all thank you Sunndog for recommending them. Three winters in of daily use and they are still...

    Cheap Screwfix Axe

    They come up pretty nice. Good job. Ive noticed that Screwfix do the 1lb version for £11 too. That seems great value for money if they hold an edge reasonably well and are not too soft.

    Treasure Hunts

    I did a treasure hunt for my daughters 11th birthday during lockdown last year. It was basically a zero tech geo cache - Instead of coordinates I used a simple map - a hand drawn sketch of the where the cache was and An “X” marks the spot. It don’t know the proper name for it but it was a...

    New Ray Mears knife with marked blade

    If you show the pic here there’s a good chance someone will be able to explain what has happened to the steel. It might put your mind at rest or give you cause to take it up with Woodlore.

    Show me your faithful EDC

    The Shaman ergonomically is the best folding knife I’ve ever held. The only thing with the larger Spydercos is that you don’t get much cutting edge considering the overall length of them. The Kapara does look like it packs some edge in there though. I do really like my drop point UKPK. The...
