I like the look of Helle knives. I like the idea of Helle knives. But, the ones I have had, the handles have all felt a bit claustrophic

Couple of OR Vigor fleeces. A heavy hoody and a lighter 1/4 zip. Both half price ... Boxing Day sales are great, eh?

Well, let's see the offending article then :)

Problem is with the development of A.I. is that the coders aren't in a postion to dictate ethical policy/use and the owners/shareholders are way too rich/greedy/removed to care. OT - following some advice from somewhere, I just set my phone and laptop to a b/w screen. Maybe I'll be weaned off...

Has there been a squabble over who agreed to cook dinner today :lol: I watched as our collie was chased a bit by two moderately show-off, kind of aggressive doggies (youthfully self-confident might be the better term - but menacing enough, nevertheless). Cornered by a bend in the river, she...

Nipples and all

That Polartec Alpha stuff is great - I grabbed some of Rab's now discontinued experiments a few years ago. I see Haglofs use it now.

I kind of shifted over from boots to trail runners for hiking a few years ago. I think the main problem with shoe smelliness from that is not so much sweat as accidentally walking through patches of coyote pee, skunk juice etc. in the wet grass. Niffs that stuff does. I expect you get the same...

When it gets cold here - round about early January - I switch to a wool mesh T-shirt under a 250 gsm wool baselayer. Never been more comfortable

MSR metal one - had it years. Or a rectangular, dutch army mess tin. Really useful that one is

I just got signed in as TeeDee, but then it swapped back to what it is supposed to be

Exactly :)

Re. Kingfishers - at the intersection of the Rhondda Fach and Rhondda Fawr rivers, I remember seeing Kingfishers frequently. In the 1970s, the waters there were literally black with coal pollution and reeked of sewage. But, the rivers still supported minnows and sticklebacks (as well as newts...

Well done, Slimshady :)

I wouldn't dream of quitting alcohol. :) Though, as I have aged, my diet seems to have improved of its own volition. That said, I still like biscuits and I love jam, conserves, anything of that order. But, mainly, and as indicated at the top of this thread, my eating has shifted to meat and...

I take a big handful most mornings and, when I skip for a few weeks, I definitely feel the tonic improvement when I start again. RDA doses of Vit A, D, E, C, B6, B9, B12. Plus Potassium, Magnesium, Zinc, Iron, Selenium, a low dose aspirin and a fish oil. I usually wake up thirsty. It is dry...

A small bare tree with snow on the branches and four Northern Cardinals artfully arranged. It is a sight I have seen before but which never fails to impress. Slightly surreal in the morning quiet. The leaves falling means that several large but precariously situated wasp nests have been...

Surströmming is like a real thing in Sweden. Fermented herring in a can. Niffs a bit aparently, but entirely pleasant
