    Limited Canned Goods.

    I read this a long time ago, and hope it's still true. When asked what they'd do in a catastrophic emergency situation, most New Zealanders said they'd check their neighbours and then pool resources and skills to rebuild, setting up a central kitchen and community area first. Considering the...

    What did you buy today?

    My sentiments exactly. I'm a bit of a sucker for chairs and the last one I bought was an expensive but excellent lightweight Helinox Sunset. Great for chucking in a pack for better comfort at work or whatever. But...a mate had one of these last time we went camping and I had a good long sit...

    Found a grubby old bottle!

    I was going to ask the same.

    For Sale SANDMARK 6X telephoto lens, Leki Sierra monopod, mount, Bluetooth trigger

    I'm finding I'm not using this much as it takes more setting up than I like. The SANDMARC lens is epic quality, screws onto an iPhone (only) phone case which will need to be purchased to fit whichever iPhone you have. I'll include a clip to fix it to, but it's best screwed into a phone case...

    Sold New price - Air rifle: Weihrauch HW95K

    Well done, that’s my dream rifle after going the compact PCP route a few years ago and finding shooting suddenly became very boring. I’d have bought it but I just couldn’t justify the outlay at the moment.

    Found a grubby old bottle!

    You can shake it with sandy grit and water inside to scour any algae off.

    Mine too. Spent a lot of time there over recent years. The ashes of my lovely lady are scattered through the orchard then up round the Tor on as much of the old path as I could, right to the tower. Now that serpent path would make a nice new JD avatar. Maybe we could help with the design? :lmao:

    G10 or Micarta?

    Probably grippier wet, though there’s not much in it with the canvas. The linen and paper probably differ more but I don’t have knives with it. If all the handles, I think a smooth hardwood, or stabilised stuff it the most prone to a sudden slip. If you lose control of a G10 handle then it’s the...

    To Somerset? I’m due a Glastonbury pilgrimage.

    National Risk Register/National Resilience Update - Nothing new to us.

    Makes what should be an informative thread unreadable for me. Rather than a discussion and resource, it’s war games fantasy fiction. Like the knife law threads when Kiri posts something useful and someone can’t help but bring up stabbing, quickly followed by biro or screwdriver. :yawn:

    I think everyone is going to keep very, very quiet so we don’t have to endure this again. ;)

    G10 or Micarta?

    With regard to my previous post about micarta sucking up water, I tested this yesterday. The green canvas on the ESEE3 is the sort of micarta I like, rough and fluffy that sheens down with use. Weight is before and after sitting in water all night. So there’s very little absorption after all...

    That was my point about quality content. One visits Stu M and posts up pics, the other licks tadpoles. I need to know who I'm dealing with here. :D

    Now I can hardly tell the difference between your and you dads which makes it hard to discern the quality content. And no, I’m not elaborating further :D

    What fungi did you spot today?

    Not sure what either of them are, but it's good to see a start. We're still very dry here in Sussex.

    Antique can openers that are so incredibly cool :D

    And then somebody came up with a small metal block with a blade in it :D I hadn't realised pencil sharpening could be so over engineered though I liked the ones with the handle at school mounted on the teachers desk.

    A well trained hornet you have there :35:

    I’ve not enough to wash and that’s what I’d be doing that night too.
