The Butane inserts for Zippo lighters generally work pretty well. Some are a bit low quality and can be problematic to use, so be sure to read reviews and buy a name-brand insert from a reputable source.

When looking at Flashlights (or torches), Lumens tell you how much power is being consumed but, not really anything about the beam itself. Candela is what tells you the strength of illumination. Fewer Lumens with a higher Candela will help you find that lost chicken better than a...

Acebeam Pokelit is one I would suggest generally available at normal retail. Wurkkos, Sofirn, and Convoy all make really good single AA/14500 or 2*AA/2*14500 flashlights that do USB-C recharging WITHOUT removing the battery or batteries. The Sofirn SP10 series in particular are a really good...

I EDC a pen every day in the front pocket of my blue jeans. No, it does not stab or poke me. Right now, a Pentel Energel metal pen is the normal EDC pen but, a similar Sharpie ballpoint has also fit that roll in the past and like will again in the future. A metal Parker Jotter is a great...

Most clothing is sewn in Asia or the Pacific Rim no matter the brand for common items found in the retail chain. Only when you see specific requirements like the Berry Amendment in the USA do you find things like clothing made domestically. I still remember the controversy over US Solidiers...

I don't recall seeing a tag from Asia on mine. The build quality on my gear from them is consistent with Camelbak Military and London Bridge Tactical even though they don't cost nearly as much as similar products from those two companies.

:eek: Let's see if this works in this sub-forum ... :banghead:

I selected the smiley from the header in the post box where the other options are for things like Bold, Italics, etc.

https://bushcraftuk.com/community/threads/banned-dogs-thoughts.164153/page-14#post-2052540 I could not post here. Initially, I thought my post was too long but the server error was vague at best. Turns out, it doesn't like Smiley's. A more meaningful error message is needed. Also, is there...

Today, I see too many people on Public Assistance thinking they struck gold by buying a breeding pair of dogs and selling puppies for $3,000 each. With no regard for genetics or personality profile, and generally deplorable living conditions, is it really any wonder why people who buy these...

I was smart enough to know a Belgian Malinois was simply too active and high energy for my lifestyle and overall health. Neither the dog nor I would be happy as we would be a bit like Oil and Water. Unfortunately, that doesn't prevent a puppy mill from selling me a Belgian Malinois...

Some breeds need an experienced handler, and others need a lot of time and attention to be happy stabile well adjusted dogs.

Excellent post there haptalaon! The biggest problem I see today is people looking to "cash in" by selling puppies to anyone who will pay with no regard to the breed or the prospective buyer.

NornVPN is good too but, I am also a Proton fan!

Housing sales nationwide are down significantly due to unaffordability in the USA. Most national tracking sites blame rising interest rates combined with the inflation of daily necessities.

That is a risk no matter where you buy your dream home. My little piece of heaven in East Texas is suffering from bad governance (my opinion) right now and all the problems "No Borders" is bringing. I should note I tend to think reasonable immigration policies are good for any nation but, what...

Awesome! I hope it all works out for you. I don't know about inflation and the economy in general over there but, on this side of the Atlantic, home ownership is becoming out of reach for many.

Blanket "Murder" is not appropriate in all cases IMHO. Involuntary Manslaughter comes a lot closer. Was the dog "protecting" its owner from someone attacking the owner is a lot different than a dog "getting out" and killing a child down the street for no apparent reason.

Without knowing the context, a statement like that is hard for me to support.

I get money is "no object" but, really high cost of living areas have an impact on society that to me is generally an overall negative on society at large. This means even if I win a Billion Dollar (USD) Lottery, I am not moving to an area like Scandinavia or Switzerland. Money only matters to...
