    Electric chainsaw?

    Not sure which forum this belongs to? I need to cut our garden hedge back. Years of letting it get out of hand mean that it is too thick for a hedge trimmer. So, two questions; I don't need a full-on petroleum driven chainsaw, so what do people recommend? Given our respect for...

    Briefing Portfolio/ Document pouch?

    I'm trying to source a well-designed portfolio for use at work. Ideally, this would be large enough to take at least A4 refill, pockets for smaller notebooks, pens etc. and have enough volume to accommodate several aide-memoires for procedures and pro-formas. It would definitely need to be...

    Protecting axe handle.

    How many of you use some means to protect your axe handle? Leather collar or cordage of some description? How have you done it and any tutorials? I have googled it and found one decent YouTube tutorial. Interested to hear what you've done. Cheers.

    Wanted RAB Bivvi pole

    I bought a brand new RAB ridge raider hooped Bivvi a couple of years back in a sale. Great quality with a pole and insect mesh as well as main closure. However, when I tried it in the garden i felt very enclosed and decided to just sell it on. I've taken it to the moot the last two times but no...

    Surprise Lakes birthday trip - suggestions?

    Might be able to get over to the north of the Lake District this weekend for my better half's birthday. Last minute planning. I'm after any recommendations for either a really nice B&B or a site that will allow our T4 and allows fires. Any suggestions? Thanks very much.

    Interchangeable buckle?

    Possible daft question. I have a high quality belt that had a poor quality buckle. It appeared to be brass but shattered at the weld as it was a poor quality cast metal. I know I could remove the rivets and replace the buckle and rivers. Before I do, does anyone know if there are buckles...

    William Lennon Boots - still open?

    I've been trying to ask a couple of questions prior to placing an order. I've sent 4 e-mails and left two voice messages. I've used the 'sales' e-mail from the website. Are they just busy?

    Fjallraven- great customer service.

    As a fan of Fjallraven in general (two jackets bought second hand on here) I bought a substantial leather belt from Tamarack outdoors a couple of years back. It wasn't cheap. However, a few months ago, I dropped the belt in the floor and was disappointed to find the buckle had broken. Due to...

    Army Surplus Goretex

    Haven't used Goretex for years, but decided I need something waterproof. In a tight budget, so looking at threads here and ended up looking at Norwegian/Swedish/Canadian forces jackets. None in XL at the moment, so looking if any of you have experience of the above? The Canadian 3 layer system...
