So you like smocks (no front zips) more than jackets (with front zips)? Or not fussed eitehr way? Any thoughts on budget? How do you define "all rounder"? For instance, I took a Paramo Velez Light smock in black on a business trip because I wanted a fairly packable wind/waterproof that wasn't...

Well, I guess I have been lucky then, because my Baton II has been going well since March 2019. It has edged out my three Fenix lights for every day carry, and lives in my back left hip pocket when I am not at work (office trousers and sitting on my butt don't do well with torch carry) I also...

Sorry @asdfjacka, spam posts are not permitted and posting spam is a bannable offence. All new posts must be manually approved before they appear, so there was really zero chance that this would have been posted with your links intact. However, you put so much effort into the post, and it...

When I bought my Bush Buddy there were two really cool articles, this was one https://hikinginfinland.com/2009/11/interview-fritz-handel-from-bushbuddy.html This the other Page 112 of this article https://backpackinglight.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/arctic1000-compilation.pdf...

Okay, filled in. Feedback on the survey. While the results of single choice questions are clear, they may not be accurate. There were quite a few questions where it would have chosen several answers since several were equally valid. For instance, my Bush Buddy twig stove was great fun, but...

Hello and Welcome Post approved. I will have a go at your survey shortly. I was wondering what your interpretation of “good sustainability credentials” is? For example: Little wood burning stoves use twigs and local renewable fuel. Stoves can be made from discarded cans, pop cans for alcohol...

The tightrope between thinking about and discussing and questioning subjects above one’s intellectual pay grade and being lead meekly by society’s authority figures. Is it possible to attain real knowledge without first navigating the path described by Messrs Dunning and Kruger?

Have you joined Edge Matters? You have to register to read, and subscribe to buy, but it is cheap, and while small, it is knife-centred, whereas this place is more outdoors skills centred, despite all the sales threads.

Sounds like a good case to wait another year and get something exactly as you want for £200 ;)

Get rid of the unfurl=true bit, just have URL inside [ ] brackets. Its up to the poster, but that is the bit of code that puts "Pardon the interruption" in as text instead of just showing the link.

Is the aim to be a collector, or are you looking for a user? Do you have other legal carry folders in other blade shapes already?

The problem is that there are not that many UK makers of folding knives. Of those, there are even fewer who make spear points. If those are out of your range, you can probably save yourself looking at any sole craftsman made knives, and will have to go with something more mass produced...

Thanks for the clarification @Flecktarnmann , that makes sense. I fear you will have to just double up on pads and put up with the bulk. About the only tricks you can play are using Mylar foil in conjunction with foam to reflect some heat, and building natural debris beds to put the pads on...

I am going to point out some problems with the post and the criteria. Looking for a pad that is not inflatable, is not the same as wanting a pad that cannot easily be punctured. The first statement precludes all pads other than closed cell foam. The latter allows for inflatables that...

Well, at least folk are talking about something other than the climate now!:poke::lmao: This is interesting regarding the purity of “science”.

Asking questions and being skeptical is not pretending to know more than the people you question. Are you familiar with the term “argument (or appeal) from authority”? I would suggest you look into the modern problems with the peer review process. If you aren’t even aware of them, then you...
