I heard that due to them regularly being used in third-world countries the old Honda 50 Cub mopeds were designed to be able to run on stale petrol if needed.

I was in the Cubs for a bit when I was younger. Didn't do much or learn much though. I few years later I chose to join the Air Cadets instead of the Scouts because they get to fly planes and gliders and when you're a kid that seems way cooler.

Usually I keep between 1/3 to 2/3 of a full tank of petrol in my car. I never seem to drive very far and that would be enough to comfortably get me to anywhere I need to get to in an unexpected emergency. However three weeks ago when I saw the preparations for war in the Middle East happening I...

I never need to do it so I'm no expert. But based on what I seen on youtube it is possible to stabilize diesel for a much longer time period than petrol.

I find this person on substack to be a good source of news. It's mostly commenting of geopolitics or precious metals but sometimes covers a range of other subjects currently in the news cycle. I have no idea who writes it but I've been reading their posts for a few months now and find they...

I might be tempted if they made a billy can with an extra handle that goes over the top from one side to the other so that it can be hung up or lifted of a fire with a stick.

Welcome to the forum. :)

I've had my eye on a Keith titanium canteen set for ages but the price has always put me off pulling the trigger. They do look really nice though...

I find that rope stored as a donut comes out twisted when you pull it. With a figure of 8 tied in the middle it comes out straight with no twists (essential when you're unwinding hundreds of feet of polyrope for an electric fence but maybe not so important for bushcraft).

There's no need for a spool tool/paracord winder with this useful knot.

I find the Magic Carpet XL is ideal for sunbathing on with a towel on it.

So the markets have opened and silver is up 2.2%, gold 2.7%. Oil initially jumped up from $73 to $79 and has now settled at around $78. No surprises there then but nothing too major either all things considered. Stock markets are down a fraction but largely unaffected by events. But what comes...

Interesting concept. I've never heard of those and will investigate further.

Tricep extensions with a dumbbell in the gym using too heavy a weight and with fast, jerking movements instead of slow, smooth controlled movements. It was many years ago and I was young and dumb. :rolleyes: Warm up a bit first. Start with gentle exercises like touching my elbows to my...

Some of them have a vague idea about some of the concepts like money verses fiat but none of them really understood it and thought me to be a bit weird for trying to discus it with them. I think it's due to the way they're educated. From primary school right up to university all that people are...

Wow! That sounds like an amazing lifestyle. Good on you! :) Welcome to the forum.

I should have also mentioned earlier that I have and old tricep tendon injury from many years ago which took several years to heal. It has fully healed now I am fully able to move and do things again but when I do pushups or pull-ups it does irritate the old injoury it slightly and it feels...

That's not to say that good financial advisors don't have their uses though. With things like mortgages, insurances, paper investment products like ISAs and other tax or law related issues they tend to be very knowledgeable. Especially regarding the products they sell on commission and any laws...

I've spoken to several financial advisers in the past and this is what I have discovered: - None of them knew the difference between Austrian and Keynesian economics. - None of them knew what the difference is between real money and a fiat currency. - None of them knew that historically all...
