    Wanted ISO “Israeli” folding stove

    Hi all. I’ve been getting all nostalgic recently and remember having one of these things years ago when they were all the rage. Just wondering if anyone has one kicking about in a drawer they don’t want. Here’s a picture if you’re unsure as I’ve no idea on the official name for these little...

    Ridgeline Monsoon Jacket?

    Excellent bit of kit but I wouldn’t reccomend it for any kind of activity for the reason you mentioned. I took one to Canada last year and during the one rainstorm we had it held up well though we were just floating along on the river at that point.

    Big / Full size axes

    Funnily enough I just finished handling a 6lb rounding pattern this week. Probably never going to use it but it’s taken pride of place on the workshop “axe wall”.

    Found Wanting: Get Home Prep Failure

    I had a somewhat similar situation recently when I had to go and collect our new car it took two trains, a bus journey and a 3 mile walk. (The latter really confused the salesman, 3 miles to him was like walking to the moon!) I was prepared to turn around if I didn’t like the look of the car...

    Any gamers on here?

    I agree story mode is a little tedious, and quite ridiculous at times. I stick play to see where they take it but I got very bored with the last instalment. Wintermute is a lot more fun. @TeeDee there is still threat from preadators out there and you can increase/decrease the threat level too.

    Any gamers on here?

    Look up the long dark then! I’ll stand by it being the best survival game ever. It’s incredibly intricate, for example you can make tools and equipment to catch and process a fish and then cook it on a fire (once you’ve collected materials) and render the oil for use in a lantern when it’s dark.

    Boring Freelander 2 stuff

    @Furbles That sucks mate! Not sure if it’s the same as the discovery 3/4 but they had a release cable under the switch. Remember when I said I wanted one with a manual parking brake ;-)

    My On The Bench Today Thread

    Makes perfect sense. Relieving the stress on the side that is stressed. We've got some carbide tipped hammers at a place I work. Where the forge used to be, along with some huge anvils. I’ll take it in on a quiet day and have a go.
