    Coffee Cups

    I'm not allowed to use a ceramic mug at work, that's why I got a metal one, plastic was also an option, I went for stainless. I deleted the bits that I took to be attempts at humour.

    Coffee Cups

    I'd say it's waterproof. Mine goes in my work bag, which gets treated with minimal respect, I've had no problems with leaks so far.

    Coffee Cups

    I practically never buy take away coffee either, I mainly use it at work, we're only allowed to use certain types of mug and this one fitted the bill nicely, just lucky really that it's turned out to be very good.

    Coffee Cups

    https://www.kambukka.com/en/byron-20-oz?id=26 That's what I've been using for the last few months, well impressed. Tenner in Tesco. Edited to add that the reason I got it in the first place was the way the lid seals, it's fantastic. I make a drink in a morning, seal the mug, and then throw it...

    Retro Berghaus

    Thanks for that, Endicott's have had them in more or less constantly for the last couple of years, Martin probably needs the cash for meths though.

    Lowa desert boots 8.5

    As per the title, I've got a pair of lowa desert combat boots in size 8.5 for sale. They are in very nearly new condition, I wore them once for a short walk (about 2 miles) and decided that I don't like them. They're still in the (fairly squashed) box, and come with the tags (albeit no longer...

    Opinel bird knife

    How about opening up a standard opinel and giving the whole thing a good soaking in some epoxy resin to turn it into a fixed blade knife? No idea how well it would work, just a thinking out loud really. Cheers, Stuart.

    Can we have a Flora and Fauna pioson "PICS" thread

    If you use a reputable company, "collins" for example, the illustrators really do know what they're doing, it's one of the main reasons that the collins' guides have such a good reputation. We're not talking some bloke with a pencil and a sketchbook we're talking high end professionals with the...

    Can we have a Flora and Fauna pioson "PICS" thread

    http://www.rogersmushrooms.com/books/default.asp Lots of books there with photos. Roger Phillips is kinda pretty well known for his field guides. They're very good. Personally I'm in agreement with Toddy on this one, artists impressions done correctly are a much better tool for visual...

    Foraging in Urban areas

    Some of the best foraging spots that I know are in urban areas, I believe that a lack of predators has a lot to do with it, you often get hazel trees in towns, but you don't often get squirrels. Industrial estates are great areas for foraging too, they're often built on undeveloped fallow land...

    Traditional shaving! Who here partakes?

    No worries mate, always happy to pass on tips and hints. I suppose it is priceless, but I'm not too precious about it, he left me another heirloom with the words "fairbourne" and "sykes" for getting all precious about :)
