Am collecting battery powered tools in a bid to ' get down there ', latest being an 18v 5 inch angle grinder of which most definitely cannot be used in my flat, though I have used dremel sized grinders and a six inch polishing set up 'within boxes' to catch sparks and wheel debris My plan if I...

In my day of which includes plenty of backpacking and of course the Queen's Scout Expedition, it was closed cell foam Karrimats

My cave is my studio flat of which is used for a lot more than simply living - something of which is going to have to stop seeing as I do have a shed I could use if only I cleared it out and fixed the roof and I have the offer of another much bigger shed I can use. Problem with the sheds is...

Yeah I do Tai Chi and it's stablemate: Qi Gong. To say despite the fact that I have been suffering with both a back injury and GTPS these past six months, my weekly Tai Chi practice doesn't seem to have aggravated the injury, to say something about it. In addition my physio was impressed I was...

Having tried the fischer space pen idea I have found myself returning to what I used to use out on the construction site, the humble 4B pencil. The 4B I have also used a a dry lubricant when it was I needed to lubricate a stiff door lock. and many know pencils can be used to lubricate metal zips

If one wears a belt and not braces of which are distinctly more comfortable. Attaching to the belt loop is good enough for myself and I have on occasion got the lanyard hung up on door handles to unwittingly test my attachment. I did try one of Kirtley's suggestions before alighting on the...

Am using a half inch fixed bail bronze shackle of which is good enough for attaching a 550 paracord lanyard to. The lanyard loop at both ends is slimly formed using Raychem glued heatshrink. Been using sailing hardware for years where because of a sailing past I know how good this stuff is

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.

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...

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...

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. On the basis of the belief that the camera never lies when I was at college I did a study on the political misuse of photography, to find much, even evidence of conflicts...

As another that has done the same, welcome back

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...

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...

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...

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...

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?

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

I'd like to show but what remains are not in the best shape as I only tend to replace them when I have killed my existing.
