He'd been waiting 19 years for this moment, don't take it away from him!

I've never owned anything from Helikon before but from all the reviews I have read or watched on YouTub it seems to be of good quality. The synthetic insulation used is a very good and durable insulation. I had set myself a budget of £200 for a new insulated jacket using this insulation or...

I agree it's the polar opposite of my usual style, but I don't think many outdoor brands make garments in bright colours anymore, plus the camo is at least £30 cheaper than any other colour. At least it might make it a little bit harder for the dog handlers to spot me :lmao:

It's interesting that they have some Hilleberg tents in the sale. Alpinetrek also have the Hilleberg Akto in a sale. When I bought a Hilleberg a year ago, I was phoning around various shops trying to get military discount on Hilleberg tents (shops that offered military discount on other items)...

The 'US Woodland' version of the Helikon-Tex Wolfhound insulated (Climashield Apex) jacket is down to £70 free postage https://military.eu/en/p/helikon/helikon-wolfhound-hoodie-jacket-us-woodland-302612

Also, I found the Wolfhound in a camo colour. I don't usually go for camo but the camo is down to £70! What does everyone think of the camo colour? It's not usually my style but it's only to wear when I stop or when dogsbodying!

Well done. I think will power is just like anything else in that you get better at it the more you use it.

Hi all, I'm looking to purchase a belay jacket (insulated jacket to go over all other layers). After much looking I think I'm almost set on something from Helikon-Tex. They use more durable Climashield insulation and are priced very reasonably. I'm looking at both the Wolfhound and the Level 7...

Thank you for all comments.

Sorry for the lack of response, I have been very busy this past week setting up to sell Christmas Trees!

I love coffee, I have an espresso machine and I enjoy not only drinking it but the whole process of grinding the beans, the smell, making the coffee, steaming the milk. I have a coffee every morning with my breakfast and rarely do I ever have more than one coffee a day. If I do, it usually gives...

I did at one point get into the habit of drinking almost every night just 2 or 3 beers or glasses of wine. I also used to really enjoy drinking if we were having a takeaway. When I realised that I really wanted to stop drinking was when something like having a takeaway didn't appeal to me if I...

I really don't miss alcohol. It's funny though, I have forgotten myself once or twice and gone to grab a glass out of habit and then remembered. But, not that I was a heavy drinker, just a regular drinker in small amounts, my mental health has improved since stopping drinking alcohol, I have...

Thank you, It's not so much t-total with sugar, I like the occasional cup of tea with half a sugar, for example, which doesn't bother me, and I don't want to stop the occasional ice cream or bit of cake etc. It's more the random cravings I get in which I go and eat 5 or 10 custard creams or a...

The rest of my diet is pretty good, I almost always have at least one home cooked meal a day, and it's almost always a chicken dish, I've got chicken/tomato soup made with bone broth for dinner tonight. I had oats, yoghurt and fruit with chia, pumpkin and sunflower seeds for breakfast, but I do...

.. four months ago, and I found it surprisingly easy. Now I'm giving up sugary snacks like sweets and chocolate and finding it difficult. I get almost unbearable urges for sugar, especially after meals. I find Greek yoghurt helps to curb the 'withdrawal' but it's taking a lot of will power...

Well it arrived today. I'm really liking it, it's very comfortable and I love the colour. Almost too nice to take out on the hills

I do, but I don't think they would last very long in the typical places I get put. When I was out, I wasn't breathing inside the bivi, and it started raining after I got in so I wasn't that wet getting in. I also wasn't sweaty getting in as it to get to the location was mostly a flat, non...

I bought an L.L.Bean Polartec fleece for my girlfriend. Made in the USA the quality is outstanding. This is the same fleece that I bought for myself but in women's and unfortunately too small for me.

I thought I would test out the bothy today in a non emergency situation, so I had a quick walk up to Corn Du to do so. My first thought is I'm definitely glad I got the 4-person, it was easily manageable by myself. There was a noticeable temperature rise inside as to be expected, and the bothy...
