    Really good budget clothing

    My free (work supplied) safety boots have been used for walking trips (mountains, moors and over 100 miles in four days before), motorcycling trips, snow days, gardening and general kicking about in. I even did some work whilst wearing them once I think. Another cracking bit of kit that goes on...

    Folder with just a knife and saw?

    It's not difficult at all. Scales pop off easily, warming them just limits damage to the mounting holes so you can potentially re-use them. Pins need drilling carefully but can be re-used it you're removing a layer or two. Backsprings are not very stiff so easily go back together with a twist...

    Folder with just a knife and saw?

    Those Puma knives are not what they once were. +1 for the Mercury. Quality, and quite chunky for a 2 layer. You could strip an old SAK and build your own. Not too difficult. Or ask a custom SAK modder to do it, depending on budget.

    Modern car technology

    Most of these modern technology features seem to be a solution to a problem that shouldn't exist, allowing drivers to concentrate less on what they are doing. Same goes with all technology, promotes laziness and an expectancy that the tech will sort everything out. There's a kids film, WALL-E...
