I don't quite agree there, facts are facts if it is biased it is already an opinion. Sometimes it is difficult to tell one from another and sometimes facts are reported with words that by themselves give the wrong connotations even though superficially correct. But I agree that judging the...

So what do you consider the least biased news source for UK news? I have somewhat given up on world news as a lost cause, no one seems to be just telling what happened. Israel-"palestinian" skirmish being the latest good bad example.

The Japanese knotweed is severely limited by climate here, it spreads out but slowly. Much worse is it's Sakhalin cousin that is bigger and badder and spreads fairly fast. I have fought for 3 years and seem to be winning, no poisons. First I tore out the root system, that is surprisingly...

Shales and trees kind of reject each other here, I guess at about 90% one would meet granite and gneiss, calcium carbonate rocks are very rare, as far as I know always marble.

OK, it looks like these devices come in a palette of sizes, both the nuts and cams; now what device would cover the largest range of crag sizes and as somebody noted I probably do not need all the load capacity a climber would. looks like as a rough approximation I would need about twice the...

Has anyone experience to fixing one/both ends of a hammock to rock (cracks I assume ...). I have no experience in climbing so what kind of hardware is available and what works? I have noticed that finding two trees at proper distance is not always easy but at times a cliff face and a tree seem...

This is what tends to happen with cast urethane parts, there are a few variants: if the broken area feels a bit sticky there has been some depolymerisation and not much can be done. If it is dry and often slightly powdery it is fatigued and regluing with PU adhesive might stick if the broken...

I thought only marines were allowed to eat crayons

If one looks at Knife Nerds steel data then very high edge retention is given by S125V or CPM-590V apparently by very high carbide content, as a first guess bitches to sharpen. Much more balanced properties by MagnaCut and Vanax. All these are stainless which property is generally not needed...

Nice and upgrade are not very precise definition of anything. Says a man who kicked me out a few times from BB. Probably for trying to be precise. Who knows ...

It depends on the state of it, Wolfram, Chromium, Rhenium tend to top the list.

Hmmm ... define nicer; better looking or more functional?

Those Moras are shaped very much what I have seen professionals to use. Very simple knives actually, short blades with triangural side profile mostly.

You can't have too many pocketsies! :angelic2:

This not a direct answer but some tips: I have found that as soft as possible gel insoles are better than foam in many cases. Shoes with soft uppers also form with feet better than many present style cast-into-form shoes. Here we have several makes of ankle high winter "sneakers" many with...

And we are just getting cold here, no lumikellos (snow drops) in two months.

I have those, well made, a bit heavy.

I can't find it, I am fairly certain that somewhere in that 500 GB copy of my old machine I have a pic of the fire hanger but I don't have the slightest how to find it.

Coconut oil is the vegetable oil about least likely to go rancid, sounds good.

The local forestry authority used to have drawings of their structures, gone, I'll try to look if it can still be found ...
