Hi Guys, i don't normally post much on the photos thread. For the last 10 years i've been using an old sigma 50-500 (pre os) and a 1980s nikon 300m 2.8. Never been able to get super sharp images, no mater how hard i tried. Tripod, different settings, all sorts. Anyway, just traded them in and...

Bump!!!

Hi All, I am selling my 5.11 Cable Hiker Boots in coyote, size 10 (Euro44). They've only been worn 3 time, so are in mint condition. Just don't seem to be able to get on with them. Shame, as they are a lovely warm weather boot. Looking for £55 inc postage and pp fees.

Totally agree. i have the green check lumberjack shirt version of this and it is totally amazing. although next time i'd probably go for the extra long as i like shirts that tuck in and stay there.

Aw, BR, you beat me to it! Defintely plant id for me. Being able to identify plants and knowing their uses is an important skill and one that i'd hate to loose.

we have used the cobra buckles on our tree climbing harnesses for decades and they get serious abuse and i've never heard of one failing. although they do require occasional lubricating (duck oil type thing). Would love to see your camera carrying set up. i have the same prob. My Bigma is just...

Hahaha, Mares Tail. It's rife on the fungi forums this time every year. Yup, it is a sod to get rid of. But in eastern Europe it is tinctured and used as a hair restorer (contains high levels of slicates apparently), but too late for me :p .

I still have an old vango odyssey micro 2. It's design was very similar to the Hillberg Akto. Mine is still going strong and it withstood some pretty serious welsh weather and even a car driving over it (prat tryng to do handbrake turns in the field i was camping in). Not sure if the modern ones...

Aww man, it's delicious. It really does taste like a lovely scented honey. Definitely one for writing down and doing again.

Hmm, wasn't keen on dandelion coffee. tried it a few times, but not to my taste. However, currently have a batch of Dandelion Honey on the stove, flower petals (about 400), steeped in water and lemon, then the liquid boiled down with sugar. Got another hr to go, but it's looking great.

Wow, great find. Did you have assistance? ie hound or piggy? or have you just got a fab tuned in sense of smell?

Teedee, know anyone with ferrets? putting ferret droppings into a couple of holes and they then go and bother your neighbours instead.

From my experience, i always prefer to trim a small brach back to a suitable union (as if i were pruning the tree), If done right, the pruning cut will allow the sap to be released then heal up naturally. I find that boring holes into a tree drastically increases the risk of infection, even with...

Tentipi tents are still made in Sweden.

Yes please. Pm'd

Just had a shirt delivered from them. Was just as easy as before, just have to factor in the dreaded VAT. So glad as they have so much cool stuff and their own brand stuff is fab.

Have you tried contacting Karrimor Sf? I had a recent issue with a squeaky sabre 45, contacted them and had a reply from the CEO within hours, and the issue resolved within a week. Fab customer service and i'm sure they'll be able to offer help or advice.

Have you had a look on the BASC website or the DSC website. I have some printed stuff from the DSC but not sure if it's publicly available.

Nice one. i actually use mossie head nets for the same thing, plus can also be used to protect from the wee beasties.

A loss of a proper hero. He will be morned by the whole country i'm sure.
