There isn't a forthcoming ban, the title is totally misleading. It's a 'what if, let's have a silly debate' thread. @CLEM above seems to have read it the wrong way, as did I. Pointless.

I settled on a Helikon Sunset too. Only thing it lacks is arms. Another one worth a look is the One Tigris Dragonhide. Can be used with or without the 4 legs. Bit heavier than the very light Helinox if weight is an issue and more of a faff to erect with the extra poles. Edit: I see there’s a...

Van used to run a 650W through an inverter and it was pretty hopeless. I don't pretend to understand how it did it as it was the first thing that went. Maybe it only worked with hookup. 240W isn't anything really, most microwaves are 900W or more.

Who’s this hiding under here? Haven’t seen one in a while, a handsome chap.

F Think this sums it up. The tactical zip pocket. Mind you, I’d like to think it prevents this sort of embarrassment.

Big Zappa fan, never got to see the band play live. I fairly recently found out that Zappa visited the UK with a few other American artists in the 70's. He wanted to see an English coastal town and so they drove down to Bognor. Zappa in my home town and I never knew! He loved it so much he...

Gosh, so wet out there today, cold too, for June :D This is a great jacket, I got the XL one today from EBay and chucked it on over a t-shirt for my potentially wet walk. Really pleased, one of the best looking Barbour designs IMO, less cattle market/game fair, more stylish and practical for...

I do, had a couple of torches from the BudgetLightForum guys no problem at all. I know your knives and none are ambiguous like flippers or large blades, it would just depend on the postage from Canada. I know when I looked into sending the little Real Steel Iris to Greg that the cost was...

Mind, pretty sure you already do that, ken? :D

Probably the most influential was Hawkwind at Stonehenge in 1984. I was a bit out of it and Nik came on stage wearing a weird flesh coloured onesie type thing sporting a blue Mohican horn of hair. Spent the whole time thinking he was naked. I blame the bloke dishing out mushroom cider to...

‘Tis. Usually I see one or two, then maybe another a way off, on the chalky Downland around here. But these are under some young trees in a huge group.

Never seen so many of these in a group. Several 'Pics of the Day'. Full of little Beau Peeps :)

I’ve ordered many knives from outside the UK, it’s only flippers I worry about, and even they come through. Nothing from China has attracted any duty or fees, or been held back.

Enjoyed this guys adventure on abandoned rail tracks. His ‘this’ll do’ approach to kit is refreshing.

Happens to me sometimes. Logging out and back in by retyping the www. rather than logging in from a saved link has worked, so has clearing the cache on my browser.

Found a pink handled one amongst my knives the other day. May be time for a resurgence:)

AI overview says it's 100% cotton duck canvas. I could just about read 'polyester' on one of the frayed labels, but maybe that's the internal pocket bit. So, it should take dye, but doesn't :confused:

Does it have to be UK stocked? I buy direct from various companies. I’m on my phone so can’t link to all the sites but: Kizer Petrified Fish Real Steel Civivi Miguron All produce some really exceptional and well made budget knives. A £35 Petrified Fish will shock you with how well made it is.

Been sleeping under a Sungpak Jungle blanket the last week and it's chilly enough I've just thrown a blanket over the top rather than try and fight with a duvet cover at midnight.

Hello Dave :) It has. Though the idea was to darken it to accompany a Barbour Dunnon in black/dark grey. The Dunnon is a nice jacket but has a narrow collar, no pop studs on it. A bit more research into the Tilley and it looks like it's a polyester material, hence the colour not taking. I...
