    Pocket Dump

    I won't mock as my zipped Tasmin Tiger RFiD block wallet is also ' tied on' clipped to my pants with a bronze sail halyard shackle - (all that remains on my old rotted Mirror dinghy), though I use a paracord lanyard.

    Pocket Dump

    I don't dump, it just stays in situ until it's needed or the clothing is washed or I rarely decide to wear pants of a less cargo-ish nature, wherein my pockets get dumped in a small leather crossbody bag. But the pockets ; penknife, wallet, mini ouch kit, bandana and moleskine notebook with...

    Bug out coffee

    Got one of them this past week, found it in a charity shop for the princely sum of £4 and yes it's good for mine to now be designated my traveling brewer. Attention has to be paid the grind size though to learn medium-course is best as fine goes straight through the sieve. To find they're only...

    Anyone a fan of tinned fish?

    Ring pull failures are why I still keep a tin opener, and what's more I have a growing dislike for ring pull cans.... I have been carrying a Shelby P38 on my Key chain for years. The dislike comprises of the fact that I am these days having to lever up the ring with an implement to be in a...

    But of course no matter what is reported and where, we all reserve the right to believe or disbelieve what we see and hear.

    News sources

    The narrative yeah, and the narrative of which we may observe influences politicians to act. For myself to have thus far concluded it's the media, the self styled but not vox populi that influences the direction in which the country must move, the wealth owned unelected media. I understand if a...

    What is wrong with people

    There is a possibility we have always been like this for the consternation now being observed to be a product our modern public communications. But having potentially always been like this that doesn't mean we have to continue being like this, we can be better if folk only stopped resenting the...

    News sources

    In light of my observation of the Media Reform Coalition's annual Report into Who Owns the UK Media, I have adopted that old Maxim : Believe nothing of what one hears and only half of what one sees when it comes to the reporting of the political, of which let's face it everything that is...

    Pathfinder or TBS Canteen sets?

    I found the TBS offerings suited my purpose, to add it's cheaper than the Pathfinder and in being so, not so precious - also got the bottle hanger to go with the set, to hear reports suggesting to observe for myself, the Pathfinder method of hanging the mug is not so useful Pathfinder I heard...

    Anyone a fan of tinned fish?

    Yeah Mercury, I remember we used to roll that stuff around in our hands when we were kids, plus mess with a lot of other things now considered toxic - exploding sheet asbestos on open fires anyone?

    Anyone a fan of tinned fish?

    Aye, have long since know Tuna is reported to figure highly for mercury contamination, to be glad my preference is for small oily Herring To wonder what the fish eat might have a bearing on mercury content All of what fish I eat are low mercury options

    Chest Rigs - How Useful Are They?

    My photography is mixed photography and involves moving over varied terrain and having long since got fed up with having to stop, remove backpack and fish out what I need to cause ' the moment ' to expire, I have found the hip mounted holster system suits my needs. At first it was a belt and...

    Chest Rigs - How Useful Are They?

    I would hazard a guess wearing one could cause those without to experience what sporting a bust can feel like. But personally I don't like to wear anything that can restrict the movement of my arms and chest rigs can, whereas less so the standard bib and belt webbing set up of which I use even...
