    Didn't know it was gonna be that long of a post but I'm glad it was. Really enjoyed reading it. Thanks Toddy.

    A burner SAK

    What he said ^ That's the best solution, post the tools you need to yourself at your destination then home again when you leave. No compromise on tool choice that way. If you're thinking of buying when you get there then it would depend on local availability and the time you're prepared to...

    Vacuum cleaner recommendation?

    This cleaner discussion makes me think of a conversation I had with the Mrs. a few weeks back. The dilemma was how best to get rid of the old bag, but I said til death do us part so I'm still with her!

    Help me identify an old brand

    They have branded kit that they recommend, bought these for each of my sons to take (coz I'm a SAK addict) and this one will go with my youngest when/if he decides to do it. Looks like a Karrimor clip on that rucksack.

    Post pics of your old Karrimor back packs!

    Yeh, £2! Charity shops rule. I like the metal buckles and the older style with no pockets, more like a kit bag. It's the webbing ladder that runs along em that appeals to me, so they don't shiggle about off road.

    Post pics of your old Karrimor back packs!

    It was a lucky find for sure. It's unused too. My son loves red so it'll be his when he's big enough to carry it loaded. Got this a couple weeks ago for the Mrs. Her favourite colours too, green n purple. Again unused, the only marks on it were from me putting my motorbike lock on top of it...

    Spyderco UK Penknife ? ''Edited''

    The fakes are rubbish. Local market has em in all colours and they all say S30v on em! Even the yellow Salt version! I found one in a job lot I bought, it's ok but I'm not a fan of the ukpk anyway.

    Why a Swiss Army Knife.

    You're right, they do cut paper and card quite well but I don't very often. On cord, plastic, ties, rubber etc. that I do use scissors for, they just flex sideways. Bit disappointing when that's their main trick. My Mrs. has the same problem on her Juice, spring on the corkscrew. Still works...
