Hi, Anybody know of any decent foot pumps for my car tool kit? I try to be as self-sufficient as possible in my vehicle as far as tools and emergency equipment goes but the one thing I always have problems with is foot pumps. The ones I've had in the past have either fallen to pieces or have...

Hi, I've got a problem with my lighter. I know that a lot of people aren't too keen on the Silva lighters but mine's been okay, apart from the release button failing, but I can work around that. I tend to keep the lighter in my admin pouch but only really use it for fusing the ends of...

Hi, Just wanted to give a thank you to Marshall at Going Gear. I ordered a big bunch of firesteels and strikers from him in February but they hadn't arrived by mid-March. Upon contacting Parcelforce it seems that someone had made away with the firesteels, leaving only the empty box (seems...

Does anybody know how to re-arrange a re-delivery from USPS in Blighty? I purchased a collection of firesteels from Going-Gear in February. The USPS tracking page says that delivery was attempted on the 5th of March, which confuses me: I asked for delivery at work, which, as a college, is...

Hi all, After all the interest in the Dutch Lowe Alpine packs from Endicotts I wanted to do a quick review of the 40 litre Strike rucksack. Unfortunately I haven't had much chance to use it properly since receiving it. By a stroke of weather luck I've been unable to get to work today...

Hi, I already purchased one of the 40 litre Dutch patrol packs from Endys a few months ago and although I haven't had a chance to use it properly yet, I've been very impressed. It's a Lowe Alpine Strike in DPM and in slightly used condition (ie the fabric looks a little faded and it seems to...

Clas Ohlson has been mentioned once or twice on the fora so I decided that a trip to Manchester was required. The shop was quite spacious and easy to find in the Arndale Centre and is packed with stuff - the tool section's great!:D On perusing the website I noticed inexpensive Moras and...

Hi, Just got a new toy and rushed outside to play with it. http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/1112/p3090092.jpg Now I kow that we don't like gas stoves for a number of reasons but I've always been fond of them. They're generally easy to use, no nasty liquids to leak into your kit or spill...

Hi, I've been really impressed with all the DIY stuff on the forums and now (probably foolishly and with disastrous results) wish to emulate such feats. Regardless of the fact that my pop-can stove didn't work at all. And looked crap. Anyway, I think I need a Dremel ('cos everyone else...

Okay, we've talked about which knots to use to attach the cords to a tarp but how much cord do people use on each eyelet/loop? I know that it probably is a bit of a bone question to most, but I've mostly used bungees before (yeah, I know...) because of my background. Now I'm starting to see...
