    Question to owners of the Leatherman Signal

    I like it so much that I'd gladly sell you mine! Bought it coz I thought the clip would be useful when working at height but reality is it's too fiddly to unclip. Add to that the thick, semi serrated blade and the position of the screwdriver, Wave works better for me. That said, it is a nice...

    Who's successfully changed career later in life?

    Whilst the title of park ranger no longer exists in my district, the work still needs doing and that is what I'm lucky enough to do. My path started many moons ago with a LANTRA chainsaw ticket for a felling contract. That lead to me volunteering with the BTCV which was great experience and...

    Who's successfully changed career later in life?

    I've never chased money, only experience and been lucky enough to get away with it so far. I can't stand being indoors so I always look for opportunities for outdoor employment and that way it doesn't seem like a chore to me. I also have many, many sidelines. The Mrs. on the other hand went to...

    Silky Bigboy Outback Edition or Agawa Canyon Boreal 21 Folding Bucksaw

    Use Silky Sugois at work and they rip, resharpenable, pretty tough compared to the folding ones. Your mate would be the best option though. Get him some beers in (for when the cuttings done of course) and watch and learn. Take a course too though, in case he's picked up any bad habits.

    Exactly. Take it or leave it. All feedback is useful and I assume you'd have just done a search for it if all you wanted was a recipe. Let us know how it goes, good or bad.

    Cabin sized baggage

    Whenever I fly, my luggage allowance gets taken up by my takedown mtb and associated paraphernalia in a suitcase to avoid ridiculous charges, so everything else has to be carry on. I use a skate backpack that has straps to carry my skateboard which double as compression straps. Both the ones...

    Are you dificient in K2? Should be plenty in a decent diet, unless you're vegetarian/vegan. Sounds interesting stuff though, worth giving it a go. Might be the best thing you ever tasted.

    What are your favourite pocket knives?

    I usually pocket a small fixed blade along with a SAK but on a recent hike I left it home, knowing I'd not be making fire or preparing meals, just pitch, sleep and go again. On arrival at Fort William I met up with family and the lack of that ultra convenient pocket fixed blade had me trawling...
