This stuff? A bottle last ages, I still have one somewhere in a FAK.

One great advantage of the Aeropress apart from it making exceptional coffee is, the clean up. One puck of grounds and a paper filter. Quick wipe of the plunger with a kitchen towel and it goes back in your bag ready to use again. There’s even a silicone lid available for the plunger so you can...

Just another option for your guy because they’re very comfortable. Barton Silicone Elite come in a range of colours and a buy 2 get one free. I have a few and the silicone is soft and supple, really comfy all day wear. Also, having a few colours is nice, I’ve got an army green, orange...

Alcohol definitely not, but Betadyne certainly prevented a few wounds and scratches getting badly infected in Thailand. I know it’s not supposed to be applied to flesh, but it works really well. I’d rather have a bottle of that than those plastic straws, that’s a bad single use job. Iodine...

Don’t knock Vibranium alloys til you’ve tried them :D Here’s a Heinies list of UK legal EDC sub 3” non lockers. 589 knives and I’d still pick a UKPK Salt in Magnacut. https://heinnie.com/UK-EDC-Knives

I bought mine here. The watch I wanted it on is a fattie, an Omega homage as worn by Bond in No Time To Die. https://notostrapstore.com/products/2-piece-military-style-strap-with-quick-release-pins Also, look on Zuludiver at quick release.

I actually don’t care to look. I’m well aware that people were hit hard by the storm and wasn’t making light of it, no need for the scolding! I don’t follow the news as there’s absolutely nothing of interest, most of it winds me up, and there’s nothing I can do about it. That just happened to...

Here’s a chart with the polishing compounds, the colours all designate the grit. So a blue, from a reputable supplier, should be a standard grit compound for final polishing.

It’s hard to say. I bought that from a bloke on here ages ago and there’s still a load left. But it does depend on what you’re sharpening and how often etc. I’m sure it’s not the only 1 Micron diamond compound available. Axminster must do something similar?

This is a picture from the BBC weather news this morning. Their brave and intrepid photographers headed out into the gale to capture this spectacular shot illustrating the ferocity of the storm :D

It will, but it’s a very fine abrasive. I’m not sure, but I think that polishing pastes, like toothpaste, T Cut, Flitz have particles that are softer than carborundum or diamond and therefore smooth down in use so they gradually stop cutting and begin to polish. T Cut in particular is for...

We’ve been forecast 30mph winds with gusts up to 50mph so no mega threat here apart from there being a lot of trees which have sat on waterlogged ground for a while. Just north of the South Downs, so the land here is prone to it while the water tries to find its way to the coast.

Agreed. I very nearly bought one on the back of this thread, I was a hairs breadth from pulling my very light trigger :lmao: Have to say, I’d still love a Savotta. The Direct Action Dragons Egg I use is awesome for organising, but because it’s split into 3 main pockets (back one being flat for...

That was an early Dyson invention. We had one with the extension, but the ball didn’t have bearings, it was just nylon on a steel shaft as I remember. The same sort of thing in steel with decent bearings and you’d have a winner.

Your carpet is much too clean, you need to get out in them :)

Another vote for the Helikon Tex Urban Pant. Good cut for everyday wear, about 10 pockets I think.

Probably a softer particle, and uneven size. A problem with any poor quality or cheap abrasive is even particle size.

You bought 4 off me, how many do you need? Or are we seeing the beginning of ‘a problem’ with torches :D

Starkie Blue, as Chris says, is the original stuff. I’m not keen, I find it glazes over quickly. I bought some diamond paste that’s been good, you can feel it cutting and it leaves a mirror edge.

I bought a couple of pens too. A Troika Liliput Construction pen and an ONLINE tiny wallet pen.
