    Elastoplasts

    I have used this sort of thing in the past https://www.safetyfirstaid.co.uk/wound-care/salvequick-nonsterile-textile-xl-plastercd58a/ as you detach the plaster one end is uncovered and ready to stick to skin. in practice i found they worked OK but became unsticky quicker than standard plasters...

    Holly?

    IIRC Apple seeds contain it too as do all seeds to some extent! Lots of people eat the entire apple quite happily. Did i read somewhere Brazil nuts are radioactive?

    are ridgeline monsoon classic smocks any good

    I have a couple of the Ridgeline coats. One full length zip and the other over the head smock. Both are full size/ weight coats. It's true the material doesn't breath as well as other materials. It's also true they can get hot if working in them. They are, though, a hard working and fully...

    Subaru Outback?

    Mine has been regularly serviced, not sure what is covered on a minor/ major service. I've had no problems with the engine at all. The problems I've had are either driver error or the battery needs replacing because it hasn't moved much in the last 2 years (covid) and the cold weather is...

    Wood margin Planting scheme

    I'd be tempted with any of the game bird mixes. They all provide feed for the wildlife in the area too. Sorghum, quinoa, even something like maize would work as they like to have their feet wet. Kale would add some cover with the large leaves and a handful or two throw in to the seed mix...

    Tiny Monocular / Telescope.

    the problem with small bins is they only offer a limited optical diameter. 2.5mm in your example (25/10). the optimum should be much larger, around 7 or 8mm from memory. the human eye pupil can open to about that amount and lets the maximum amount of image/ light into the pupil. Any more from...

    Best non- standard Card , Card Game.

    Are you talking about games to be played with the normal deck of cards or with thier own pack? Uno for instance, is a good game, but it uses its own cards which may make a difference.

    Baofeng Fanboys & Fan Girls

    Broch, are they branded or copies? I've heard the copies are generally awful while the branded ones work better that the originals. i have a couple of after market ones but haven't measured them to check performance. Anecdotally, they seem to work OK but I'm not testing them on longer distances.

    Parachute canopy

    All the above. The idea is the chute will hold enough smoke inside it that when sparks rise they are smothered which helps too. It's not just the material itself but also the way it's set up

    Amateur Radio Operators, Beginners Advice?

    Bear in mind with the hand helds like the uv5r vs another, the uv5r has been around for so long most after market stuff is made with it in mind. For instance the CHIRP software doesn't always work with newer models of Baofeng. Some do but not all.
