Hi All, We have moved the forum over to Tapatalk and all your accounts should have been transferred. You will probably have to set up a tapatalk account first if you don't have one then log in as normal. The tapatalk account is a necessary evil but you do it the first time, tell it not to...

For ski trips, as things tend to be bulky but not heavy, I use the UK deployment bags. It is about 90-100L and has rucksack straps but no wheels. For shorter trips I just hand carry it or sling one strap over my shoulder. I love these bags, I have about 3 now one having died due to bad...

Much less people around up here on the lochs etc. Colours are ace. We tend only to have heavyish sleeping bags up here as it's never really warm enough for a winter bag. In winter I layer up in a tent or hammock, bag plus bivvy bag, never really been cold despite frost and snow at times...

Archery GB have a facilities guide here. Note it's a 40 page doc covering everything from custom built facilities to rugby pitches but does show dimensions etc. (hint go to page 38 ;) ) it's a good read and well worth getting familiar with if being responsible for something.

This bit sound a little dodgy too, not sure what you mean by this but I would be very sure a site I was going to buy a rockstead from was 100% legit and well known. Also dealing direct through emails means that if I had subverted a website then those emails could be redirected to anyone. Buyer...

I know that feeling, it's the worst! Luckily mine turned up, had slipped under the back seat of the truck.... I'm really liking Mark Jacobs stuff of late (mark.177 of this parish) Also think about if a woody is what you want, I moved over to a Canadian Belt Knife and don't reach for my woody...

I'm with Mr Claycomb, with danish oil you can put it on a buff it up until it's supershiny and slippy. I did this to a couple of knife handles before taking them back again as they were too slippy to use safely!! lay it on, let it dry, buff with 1000/1500 grit, lay it on let it dry, buff with...

I think warm and wet is always an issue for most of us. I've messed with 3 approaches and am on my 4th! Ventile, love it in snow and cold and windy conditions, light rain is fine too. In heavy rain it wets out and is much less breathable. We'll skip the corrogated cardboard and hellish to...

That is the normal place to store them! I now have another on the left hand side just under the stairs...

15 foot canoes will take 2.5 people and some gear, probably enough for an couple of days if you travel light. 16fts could do 3 people and some more gear. I would shy away from a 16 foot canoe as a lot more work to paddle solo, it can be done, just more work. IMO people think they will be...

You can get by without them, they just make it quicker. Jigsaw/bandsaw for cutting out the rough shape. Planer for removing a lot of wood quickly. I didn't use a power sander at all. You might need a convex spoke shave as well, the angles at the throat where the blade meets the shaft are...

I've done a couple. Powertools help. Normal woods used are Ash and Cherry but other woods and laminates of woods can work pretty well too. Graham Warren did a fantastic book on making paddles, if you can get your hands on it I would recommend it. Some of the tricks used are pretty good and...

It should fly on SotP, they are well respected and pretty sought after, all depends on pricing and your luck though....

Have never had to milton my stainless steel flask. I use it for storing milk when out canoeing. I once had to chisel the milk out after I came back a canoe trip, went on holiday for two weeks, came back, went on a business trip for two weeks then forgot all about it until my next canoe trip...

Not disputing it's not free for all, the NHS do pay a portion of the fees (15% IIRC) but it is still free for anyone on low income benefits, under 18s (and 19s and 20s in special cases) Under 18s are about 20% of the population, benefits, dunno, say 20% again, chucking in preggers people and...

Mouthwash is like handsanitizer/disinfectant spray, yes it may kill on a wide spectrum but the bad stuff does you more harm than the good stuff does you good so net/net it's worth it. I don't use mouthwash very often and tbh I can't really see the point in it due to the low fluoride...

Corso, are you serious? I am genuinely asking.

I understand (but Janne can verify) that fluoride mouthwash contains much less ppm of fluoride than toothpaste so don't wash all that toothpaste loveliness away with a mouthwash after brushing.

me too!
