I bought a Lotus grill, not today but a couple of weeks ago. Lotus Grill My brother in law has an off road camper with all the bells and whistles including this thing. Its really quick to get going and for the small amount of charcoal it uses it burns for quite a long time. The set up from...

All of them are good but if i was forced to choose then G10 only because I believe itis less absorbent. You can get extremely grippy G10 and if you do have smooth G10 you can always sand it to give it more texture.

I like nite core nu20 but they may not be available anymore. Its small and light has a rechargeable battery is very water resistant has a little cover over the switch to stop accidental activation and is bright enough for everything i need to do. My lad has a black diamond headtorch that runs on...

A few days ago I had an adult weasel with at least one of its young in tow on my driveway, they dashed under my car and vanished. Straight after that I went in to the garage, I saw a youngster skirting the perimeter of the inside of the garage then run off in the same direction as the others. No...

Also consider what is needed for, some organizations seem to have their preferred qualification and wont accept anything else even if the standard is the same. I've worked for companies that would only accept FREC 3 and then others that would accept anything of a similar level, FREC3 seems to be...

Petromax are really good quality though :)

Train Dreams by Denis Johnson, excellent book.

I used a Grayl quite a bit in Southeast Asia, The Middle East and Europe and never got sick after using it. So far I have been through 2 filter elements without becoming ill. My strategy was to only use the cleanest looking water available but occasionally I did filter some pretty dodgy looking...

Snow peak makes a really nice high backed folding chair but its quite expensive.

I like my decathlon trousers too good fit/cut for me and fairly simple design which is a plus in my book plus they are very reasonably priced. One observation is you need to try on several pairs of the size you want because the sizing QC can be a little off. I also have a pair of premium brand...

Fruit of the loom or M&S cotton undercrackers of the Y front variety work for me in almost all social settings.

I bought this today, its for my brother in law I hope he likes it !!

Hi All Im after slotted buttons like the larger ones used on British Army clothing but can only seem to find them in small quantities. I want about 30 in Olive Green and around 25-30mm in size and also the tape to attach them. Any ideas.

Cross body bags don't work for me, I seem to spend a lot of time climbing over or under things or being on the floor and as soon as you bend over most shoulder bags swing out of position. If you are upright the whole time then they are ok. I prefer a daypack and just take it off if I need to get...

When I was a youth I did a temp job in collage kitchen prepping it after the summer holiday, there was me and 2 other people, first job was a quick inventory of the supplies. I was given 3 freezers 2 were good but number 3 had failed during the break, the meat within was ripe to say the least...

Mine was always a couple of Derwent soft sketching pencils sharpened at both ends.

I agree there is a ventilation penalty when wearing mine although I don't find it too bad....weather dependent. The chest pack I have is the smaller of the Helikon-Tex Numbat so doesn't cover as much area at the big one so allows more ventilation.

I was always told to clean a wooden chopping board by running it under very hot water and scrub the surface with a scouring pad then let it dry fully, this is how I've done it for ever with no ill effects. The kids have put wooden chopping boards through the dishwasher before which warped them...

I have a Helikon tex Numbat with the small map case inside. The map case forms a little table at chest height which is great for nav checks I like being able to just unzip and check the map and zip up again. Also useful for stashing your phone/GPS so you can do you nav check with everything on...

I have a bamboo chopping board too, I've often wondered what they use to glue the sections together with and if its one of these dodgy substances. I'm sure I read somewhere that the glues they uses are less than environmentally/health friendly, either way it still does the job.
