    Oex jackal 2 or the oex hyena 2

    That's what I have. Got it last year in the sale and with extra discount it was £36! Not sure I'd pay the current price for it though.

    Oex jackal 2 or the oex hyena 2

    I was going to say the Phoxx looks good and half the weight but if you want room it might not be ideal. Not familiar with the Decathlon offerings.

    Oex jackal 2 or the oex hyena 2

    That Hyena looks hard to beat for the £69 Millets are selling it for. Loads of reviews on YouTube for OEX tents. Go Outdoors have the OEX range set up in store so you can try for size, worth a trip if there's one near you. They regularly have sales on too and send extra discount codes via...

    Favourite carry-able cooking pan and favourite mug and why for both

    I don't have a favourite but last night I managed to snap the handle off the folding pan I was eating out of. I've had it since I was 13 and almost shed a tear.

    YOYTi. (Why titanium?)

    Had a set of plastic sporks for family trips, from the same company as my ti version. Three of them shattered in use, probably due to something we subjected them to, but they have been replaced with ss.

    Discourse is the whole point! Or did you mean discord? In which case you're free to not take part.

    YOYTi. (Why titanium?)

    Regarding weight, I have the same knife in both ti and al, the al is much lighter and considerably cheaper. My ti cookware, on the other hand, is lighter because it can be made thinner than al, and is also more durable. I mainly use it for motorbike or mountain bike trips when I carry...

    What did you buy today?

    As a man who it seems has a taste for the best kit I think it strange you don't apply the same standard to something as crucial to life as drinking water. Agreed, they are all adequate but this is one case where if there's measurably better equipment I'm going with that.

    Sentimental EDC

    Nope! But I like that some do. It's the little things!

    Regarding drinking water, the last thing you want in an emergency is to get sick, in which case having a water purifier is priceless. You could, as you say, boil or add chemicals if you have the time but if you're buying a filter anyway, makes sense to get the best. Having enough emergency water...

    What wildlife did you spot today?

    Just watched a young squirrel investigating my wood pile. He spent a lot of time marking it so I guess it's his wood pile now!

    Sold Combo Clear-Out - Recycled Firehose Multitool Pouch, Key-pers/Belt Loops & Leather Mermaids Purse (Medicine) Pouch

    I suspect there's a lot of leeway with the pouch as the Spirit it's designed for is 107mm. Your Flexcut may well fit.

    What did you buy today?

    Had a trip to the surplus store to get my son one of those collapsible drinks bottles that look like a hand grenade. Whilst paying I couldn't resist the impulse buys at the till...came away with a ten man arctic bell tent!

    Watch repair vs new watch?

    Most likely a new battery will sort it, won't run on solar alone. Love my Seiko so I'd fix it. I bought another watch to save my beloved skx from abuse but it's still in the box and the poor old Seiko is covered in scrapes and weld spatter!
