    Choice of uk legal pocket knife

    If you get on with them, Spyderco knives are fantastic, but they're not for everyone. I have a Bob Terzuola Slipit by Spyderco and I love it. That said, the blade I carry most often in the UK is a Swiss Army Knife (camper I believe) It's an inoffensive looking thing, and does not scream weapon...

    Your best poundland bargain.

    I got a couple of SS Mugs, about the size of a 10cm zebra billy can. knocked up lids and photon stoves for them, voila! lightweight brew kit.

    Whats your favourite piece of winter clothing?

    Shorts ant t-shirt.... Well I am in Saudi. :D Seriously though, I've got a M65 jacket that gets broken out in winter for the mornings (It actually does get cold here sometimes), and a fleece lined waistcoat from B&Q. Back in the UK, it's a down filled bodywarmer. very light, very cosy.

    Pathfinder sells the kit in a decent looking shoulder bag. There are two different lids available too, one with holes, one without. I could spend serious amounts of cash in that shop....... :D

    I don't know, My Crusader Cup is in the UK. I'm planning to give it a good road test when I'm on holiday next month. I'm very impressed so far.

    I've got one, it's great, especially when paired with the smartphone app.

    Slowly cooked for two days.

    I'm on the other side of the country, but yes, if you go a few miles inland the humidity drops significantly.

    Slowly cooked for two days.

    In high summer it can get to 50+ with 100% humidity, The area I'm in was officially the hottest place on the planet for perceived temperature a few years ago.

    Folding Kukri?

    The design borrows heavily from the old case folding bowie, also the Cold Steel Triple Action, both UK Legal (with good reason as both are locking blades)

    Folding Kukri?

    Blacks on the blacklist

    I'm sorry Juliah, you're being entirely unreasonable here. The shop offered to take them back and gave a quite reasonable time frame for repair or replacement. The fact that you showed up at the shop wearing the shoes did absolutely nothing for your case. You have the right to repair or...

    Petzl E+lite

    I have one, it's ok for occasional use, which is what it's designed for, it'd probably be ok of around camp, but it has very little throw to the light as there is no reflector. I keep mine in my first aid kit these days.

    Candle's in tent's

    Conversely, in my experience, my candle lantern (An UCO lantern) gives out enough heat to make a significant difference in a tent. I've used it in winter in Scotland, and it definitely made an appreciable difference. The tent was a Wynnster firefly 2 (as I recall)

    An old tyre, an aid to log splitting?

    There is absolutely no bounce in an old tyre sidewall. It's probably safer than just having a chopping block.

    gerber ultimate survival knife

    Opinions are mixed, but most people I know who have handled/used one are fairly impressed. There is a pretty extensive review on the knife on BCUK somewhere, which was quite positive.
