I have one of these bags and use it as a casual out and about bag. With no internal dividers items like my camera will be covered and iPad in a sleeve. Not sure I'd trust it in a real heavy downpour as whilst the inside is lined with leather the top flap is not and the canvas would surely leak...

From Lidl on sale Sunday and fondue set. The base/burner/stand set up looks like something a bushcrafter would make use of eh? lidl fondue set for a tenner http://www.lidl.co.uk:80/cps/rde/xchg/lidl_uk/hs.xsl/index_16298.htm

Appart from the rather confusing use of the 0 in the centigrade temps, the "This represents a 2oC (3.6oF) drop from normal body core temperature." should be 2 degree C not 20 but I think the degree symbol is at fault, this was a very nice article. During the last snowfalls (last week) had a 27C...

Got an iPad for a birthday present which was unexpected and had a short period of "what do I do with it" type quandary. Then in use it has grown to be my most used piece of computing equipment. I don't use it to do "real" work, a laptop takes care of that, nor for file storage, an external...

I tend to listen just long enough to determine who the caller is and if they start the "how are you today" type of conversation then its a quick "what do you want?. If its a cold caller it'll be a hang up and forget. My wife however tend to get in to the "sorry, no" type of reply and will be...

I preferred the Ghillie kettle only because of the whistle instead of the cork however this does not allow for water carrying and there does not seem to be a screw cap for any of the various kettles. Apart from that there seems little difference between them. I wonder if the kettle would be...

Fenix HP10. Newish headlamp and has replaced all those that have gone before. I run off-road (Hashing) and need a good light but headlights can become an expensive option as you search for power, long battery life and sturdyness. The Energizers are great lamps but you do get fed up with the...

The Grass snake (Natrix Natrix) is one of the few native British snakes. You seem to have a way with the snake the grass snake often lets go a pungent odour that lasts for a fair while on the skin and can ruin clothes, they are also known to play dead. Reasonably common round the New Forest. Andy

For some reason I can't see the pictures. Can you repost them, in particular the ones about the trangia burner modification. Andy

Fray Bentos pies are one of my most favourite foods, a rare treat though, they store for ages (unopened) and are a great comfort food. However now they have been slandered in the forum I'm going to have to have one soon and thereafter do something inspired with the tin. Thanks

Bike Brake cable! The very item and I'm sure there is some in the garage somewhere. Later in the article the author answers the very question I asked and crimped brass tube will do a very neat job. Thanks for the brisk and helpful replies. Andy

Looking to modify the handle of a Zebra Billy Can, as per an article on another forum, but cannot find braided steel wire in short lengths. Does anyone have a small amount of wire and perhaps a couple of the crimping connectors that they can sell on or know where to get the wire in reasonable...

Ginger has a proven antiemetic action, that is it helps stop nausea and vomiting for a lot of people (great for hangovers), and taking ginger beer when you have nausea can be efficacious in both helping control the nausea and in replacing some fluid. Its late for the Blandford Fly which is more...

Had a shave in Saudi also and, I think it was an Indian barber, did a most wonderful job. Sort of relaxing once the strange feeling of an open blade being wielded so close passed and the hot towel. powdering and after shave after was sumptuous. Used to be a treat after getting paid and worth a...

Thanks for that and kind comment always a bonus. It was actually an easy picture to take, towards the end of summer and it was a little slow. One of the first pics taken with new DSLR and autofocus having just moved out from a manual focus (canon T90) to DSLR/AF (Nikon). Still miss some elements...

It'll not be too long before the Police start to look at all people who use and enjoy the outdoors as suspicious and deviant. Andy

Spot on Bikething, Hashers it is. Was up in Dartmoor around Burrator a few weekends ago with my own H3 group thought there a quite a few H3 groups round that area. Fantastic way to get into the countryside though strangely enough I've never tried to use the dust (usually sawdust or flour) as...

Anyone know what causes the little piles of sawdust occasionally seen at the base of trees and sides of trails? Andy80F
