    Anyone with type 1 Diabetes? Just been diagnosed with it.

    Hi, I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes almost 10 years ago. I was 25 years old and just like you I lost 10 kg in just over 3 weeks. Since my body didn't produce any insulin anymore, I was burning fat to stay alive. At work I almost decided to move my desk so I could sit closer to the water...

    Search on Tags

    Hi, Is there a way you can view topics by their tag? I'm a big fan of the [Trip Reports] and [Day out] posts, but I can't find out how to search on these topics only. The "Tag" field in the search gives a "unknown tag" error. Is it not possible, or am I doing something wrong?

    My first knife - memory's revisited :)

    My first knife: a victorinox spartan (the one on top) after a service of 20 years, replaced by the newer version of the victorinox (8 years ago). I owned a number of other knives, but as EDC I like this one the most. It was an incredible good choice from my parents to give me a Spartan when...

    Fenix Get My Vote

    I'm using my Fenix LD20 a lot. Once I thought it was broken. Luckily it was only the retaining ring that sits inside the tail cap that needed to be tightened.

    Having diabetes myself, my biggest concern while hiking is having a hypo. When you exercise you need a lot more carbohydrates and a lot less insulin. If you would hike for 10 days, you'll probably know your balance after the second day. But doing a job in the office for the entire week and then...
