Not particularly scientific but I just put them in the wash as normal for Mrs redandshane to do her worst with and they have survived this includes tumble drying NB I do insist on washing some of my stuff myself if I fear for its safety if subjected to the rigors of the family wash.

If they are not breathable desert boots i would consider them ruined.You will get wet feet from the inside lol

Not sure what you mean by "wax" but I would be careful of ruining a pair of perfectly good boots. If I was going to use anything I would consider a specialist product such as this http://www.nikwax.co.uk/en-gb/products/productdetail.php?productid=77

Like a live time experiment just had some lasagne and heading back in to work. I agree Cereal becomes an attractive food I don't normally really eat it; but do as previously posted by someone have it twice a day on nights Experienced some disorientation when I woke up at 2pm today and in my mind...

Just finished a night shift I don't do them all the time but do find they are a thief of time in that I just work and sleep until my days off Off to bed now!

I have problems with my knees when walking distances especially carrying a pack so you have my sympathy. I find a knee brace,using a pole or stick and prophylactic use of ant inflammatory meds all help. Using a walking pole is probably the most effective of these esp downhill.

"Edit: For some reason I just can't imagine walking through the woods when all there really is a blob of green on the map called Stansted Forest. It doesn't seem at the moment that it could possibly get you to the chosen destination. " Apologies if I am a bit late here but the map you showed as...

I guess this only amuses anyone who has met our very own Dave 53 A long boy ? he most certainly is not; a short wide boy he most certainly is. Think Jimmy Kranky meets Don Estelle looking up at Ronnie Corbett On a serious note I think he really wants an Alpkit one

Fit-probably more than 6 times better Finish maybe not so much better-I have had problems with stitching/seams on both pairs Fjallravens and have to say never had that with lightweights Material used; again far superior in the Fjallravens Functionality Fjallravens are well thought out and...

"£15 on that particular website (which was simply the first result that popped up, no connection to seller etc.) so you could buy six pairs and have enough left over for a pint and a fish supper. " When you put it like that I have no doubt Fjallravens are six times better than British army...

I used to do a lot of Pike fishing as a teenager and live bait was definitely a favoured option then but I do realise that these days it is not looked upon too kindly and I have to admit I would probably not do it now.
