I have a couple of solar rechargeable lamps. One was a cheapy from Lidl, it looks a bit like a translucent nalgene bottle. The other is a luminaid packlight nova usb, which collapses nicely. They both live in the attic where they get light through a velux. Currently the Lidl one is on duty in...

Drop me a pm with your address, I'll send you a couple of white LEDs. Don't know what brightness they are but, it's a photon not a search light

How about one of these https://www.backpackinglight.co.uk/bushcraft/RE103.html I have a similar one in titanium for an evernew burner.

Welcome! There is a wide range of knowledge on here, it's a good place to pick up new skills and hobbies.

£50, let's get it going

The Leica that I have has decent eye relief for glasses users and an extendable eye cup for use without glasses. The quality of the coating makes a big difference for roof prism optics, more so than porro prisms. Of course, the optical resolution is determined by the size of the objective lens...

I've been thinking about this since I posted a few mins back. I suspect much of this is muscle memory. I made lunch lefty today. And whilst it wasn't an issue, I certainly had to put more effort into the control of the knife etc than if I was using my right hand. Now I can shave with a cut...

I identify as right handed. I can use my left for a bunch of stuff, but not writing and I wouldn't trust myself with a hammer. Other than that I can use both hands, I'm just not as good with my left

Ah, been ages since I chatted to anyone about bit. I thought it worked on most of the ISM frequencies like 433-?, 866-? But like I say it's been a while and not something that I have done anything with

Have you thought about LoRaWan? They use a range of frequencies and as an amateur you can use more power than unlicensed people on the right frequency. They come with a a range of add on modules including GPS etc

Be interested to hear how you get on. Not got one or ordered one myself, but thought a heads up for interested parties was good

Should anyone be interested, I got an email from Aldi with their latest offers the other day, one of which is a dehydrator for 30-40 quid.

I use a syringe and blunt needle to refill the little standard international sized cartridges with other inks. To help me flush out pens I poked a hole in the back of a cartridge so I could fill the syringe with water and power flush the pen, it should not do damage as water can leak out where...

Just been down to Lidl for chilli bratwursts and saw that they had leffe brune for £2.50 for the big bottle, grabbed a couple, well it'd be rude not too!

I specifically go there for those! Aldi used to do a chilli bratwurst but they stopped selling them. Just had a cold one for breakfast nom nom!

I would say put on the tie. The interviewer can always let you know if it's ok with them to take it off. Of course it's a 2 way process, you are looking at them as well. You could always ask what sort of dress code they want for interview, I've done that a couple of times. It shows that you are...

I used one once in Finland, it was made of some sort of blue quarry stone. As well as the usual damper arrangements it had a diverter for want of a better word. When you start the fire it runs straight to the chimney for maximum draw, once things are going properly, you pull the leaver and send...

I have a few that I use, but I tend not to git rid of old ones, I still have my first ARC AAA and LS! I find my olight i3eos good, bright enough and simple to use. Also just got a Nebo lil' larry. Mainly for the car, but it's looking useful for all sorts.

Is it dual band? Or a 2m that can therefore be used on 70cm as they are relatively speaking harmonically related?

Yep.
