    The importance of being calm

    Well done HM and thanks for sharing. You might like to carry a tube of glucotabs (as I do, you know the things) as an extra to the biscuit. Dead right about getting some real calories in asap though, low sugars can be a prob and feel scary to the person suffering. Calm and confidence is soooo...

    Mobile phones

    I was offered versions of the Lumia with my contract when I renewed at the end of last year. It's camera is probably the best according to the reviews and the phone camera is what I use the phone for a lot when out - camping, hiking, travelling, etc. Am currently using a Samsung Galaxy S and...

    Stu, you should know I can't stay inside the box! And your op did ask what are others' thoughts about phones for the outdoors, what do you use and why. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

    Mobile phones

    No Alan, you're not. I always used to take a camera, now I find a good phone camera suits me best. Otherwise I don't use the phone in the woods. I do use it when I go out not in the woods though. Like now 😊 Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

    Solo camping quistion

    +1 to the mixy! Good reason for keeping a priest in the pocket. Otherwise it would have been hysterical to have a video of the event, and the pheasant too :rofl:

    Solo camping quistion

    +1 GB. Fear is certainly there to be listened to and is a useful guide and companion. I'm not usually scared and when I am it's by humans, not anything else, and I've been out in some pretty wild places without another human around for miles. That's why finding another one around would have all...

    Mobile phones

    Sorry Stu, I phrased that wrong. I meant I like the Nokia too and one of my reasons is its photo-ability. The only reason I don't have one is the windows phone. The camera is one of my reasons for having a mobile phone, everyone's different :)

    Losing Tribes ...

    Ta for the link. I can't say I feel "fake" but I love your tag-line ... it's just as true today! I don't like all sorts of supposedly "good" things like the calls for money to sink wells and bore holes (for instance). If you sink a well one place you begin to change the water table. Then other...

    Mobile phones

    For the Zeis lens I agree with you Stu, but I cannot be having with the windows phone :rolleyes:. Am currently using a Samsung Galaxy S and liking it. Pics are good enough to use, easy to use and android apps that I like such as Google Sky Map, NASA Space Weather, Flickr and such. It does my...
