On August 28th and 29th, Otley Amateur Radio Society (OARS) is celebrating its 50th Anniversary with a Special Event Station and a full weekend's worth of activities. (http://www.otleyradio.org) We've tracked down a couple of founding members but we're convinced that there are others out...

Hoping for some advice here please. I quite like the look of the Osprey Mk IV MTP Medic Pouch. I was wounding how flexible this might prove to be in practice, as it looks to have a very good storage layout for any one of a number of First Aid setups. So, if anyone is using one of...

I've just been given one of theses lightweight goretex jackets as a birthday present. Would be grateful for any advice on which conditions these jackets perform best in. Anybody using one -what do you pair it with for the best layering. Thanks for reading. Best Wishes, David

I have now tried - and failed twice - to roast a chicken in a recently purchased Cobb Oven. On both occasions, the briquettes had lost sufficient heat after a couple of hours such that the chicken just wouldn't get finished off. Unless I can up my skill level with this soon, I am not going to...

As the title says, I am looking for a thread and/or post from a few months back which pictured a BBQ/Cooker/steamer from a German website which was reduced in price. I've done a number of searches but can't come up with anything. The said item stood a couple of feet high on legs with a...

Thanks for looking. I've received a suspicious email, purportedly from a New York eating establishment, using the name of one of their staff members. I googled it separately. The establishment exists and the staff member comes up easily on a search. There is an attachment to the email...

Thanks for looking. I have the opportunity of potentially purchasing a plot of land frokm a neighbouring garden of a house that has stood empty for some time ... but I don't want to get ripped off. I've done various internet searches but can't find anything that might guide me on price...

I may (or may not) get a pass-out to spend a few days in France visiting a friend. Any recommendations on the best opinel to get please? Are there any decent alternatives to Opinel knives which are easily found? Any advice much appreciated. TIA Best Wishes David

The very comfortable and sturdy shoes I have used for driving fairly long distances , being in and out of the car when greenlaning and around wild camp sites (but vehicle based) have finally fallen apart. I need somrthing that will be comfortable for driving so definitely NOT a walking boot...

Apologies if this has been done before but I can't find anything through 'Search'. Having had a mummy style bag for many many years, I've grown to feeling uncomfortable in it and would like to shift back to a rectangular bag. This will be used pretty much 3-season in a small-ish tent...

Please excuse the question - I've done several searches but couldn't find the info I'm looking for. As a relative newbie still, I'm trying to get my 'layering' sorted out. Having just taken delivery of a 'Norgie' I'd like some advice so a couple of questions please: - what do you wear...

Am looking to buy an 'Outwell Oklahoma' Day Tent for use on our family holidays. Am willing to pay up to £100 depending upon condition etc., Hopefully, someone will have one. Best Wishes David

Having come across the 'Look What We Found' site reading through an older thread, I wonder if any of you have experience of their preprepared meals i.e. taste, texture etc., Particularly I'm interested in the size of the portion. Some of the meals look very attractive. TIA Best Wishes...

I'm still relatively new around here, so please excuse me if I have posted this thread in the incorrect forum (If I have, could someone please point me in the right direction?) I recently purchased a mora clipper but ... I really don't like the sheath at all. Having looked through a few...
