Oh for heavens sake. No, you are not expressing a different opinion to mine, you are just being pedantic about how I expressed an idea. Dale was talking about his head losing heat...and connected the idea of heat rising. Hot blood doesn't rise to the top of your head by being less dense...

Heat does not move through your body by convection. Heat does not rise. Hot air rises. In addition, what I have been told is that the robes block the sun from causing sweat to simply flash dry from your skin. It forms something of a higher humidity micro climate where the heat to evaporate...

If so, you had quite a lot of posts under that ID. If you can prove that was you, would you want to have the accounts merged? I am not sure whether that is possible, but we can ask Tony.

Hello, You should be able to do so now. Every new member must make five posts that are manually approved by a moderator before they appear on the open forum. You hadn't hit that threshold but were posting in five year old swap threads where the posters hadn't been on in a while, which has been...

And that is 5 minutes I will never get back. As articles about science go, that was pretty poor journalism of what sounds like poor science, and amounted to saying “scientists looked at common beliefs, then looked for proofs in other papers, and say the beliefs are false”. Seems like an easy...

Was looking for something else and found this. That is a rolled titanium chimney, at the correct height for the size of tent. No extra guy lines.

The school I went to as a lad now has enough clusters of cameras to do a good impression of a high security prison. Definitely not in line with that document. That document appears to prohibit Ring doorbell cameras on the grounds that they are near the ground.

Hello @Gigotrafx , Welcome to the forum. Where abouts in the USA are you, what age kids are you “shopping” for. Kids with knives are going to make pointy sticks, it’s as immutable law of nature! There is no purpose to trying to get them do done anything else at first.

Not something I know about, but it seems like it is important to understand and mitigate the risk of hacking any network enabled device, particularly wireless ones. One does not want to be spied on by one’s own devices.

3 metres at only 6cm is very long for a small diameter. for comparison, my Seek Outside medium stove has a pipe cut for their Cimarron 2m tall tent at only 2m tall. Their chart suggests a 3m pipe is 25cm longer than what they use for an 8 person tipi. I agree that what you wanted to do was not...

Dorset…Devon…you know…one of those remote rural counties somewhere in the south west. Think they have coast lines, not much to choose between them other than Devon is more remote and western lying. :D I visited the store in Axminster years ago, and the ones in High Wycombe and Nuneaton, and...

Welcome to the forum. I met Toby at The Bushcraft Show last May. He had a stand selling knives and we chatted for a while. I bet I have a card for him someplace. I am surprised that you say you cannot trace him. Now, granted, what I found might be dead links...and he might have stopped...

This thread still shows as For Sale. Is it sold, per last post, or for sale, per the thread title?

There are times when my job brings me uncomfortably close to Anderson’s position. Chartered Mechanical Engineer- aerospace design of electric motors and generators.

A rat could stroll in through the gap on the far left between the slab and timber. No digging needed. I would be thinking fox, maybe going after something smaller already under there

Do an image search for giant hogweed, and have a look at hemlock. It looks to me like hogweed has fewer, larger, flower heads than what is shown in @CPH’s photo. The height and blotches on the stem look more hemlock like to me. Poisonous for sure when live. I don’t know about dead….i would...

Fair play. We get a lot of people with a lot less experience asking similar sounding questions. There is a lot of fantasy that swirls around "bushcraft" but the reality is that most won't be regularly relying on log lean-to shelters and survival kit fishing. Hilleberg tent guy lines are a...

If that does not discourage you….Grip Six belts are cool. Get a high carbon steel made like that, very simple. Maybe get it powder coated, or try home phosphate treatment.

I find myself sceptical that anyone who can speak of wearing Arc’teryx to fancy restaurants will ever find themselves in such a situation to unravel a precious belt to make 80 metres of rope. I have needed rope to lower a pack down a small cliff…10m was plenty and was easily carried in said...
