    Coping with the heat.

    It's worth checking if your power bank does pass through charging? I.e. the power bank is connected to the mains, and then your phone to the power bank. Either way, if you find out what port your phone has (probably USB C or micro USB, the manual should say), you can easily get another cable.

    Sleeve pockets

    I put a Zippo in one on a Craghoppers shirt, but promptly forgot that's where I'd stowed it when in need of it. So it basically stays empty. It's really very small though. I can see stowing small soft items in there might be useful, but have yet to do so.

    Why a Swiss Army Knife.

    Good on you. I know near me people do go with chainsaws to deal with trunks blocking roads, but not into the woods. That's usually reported to the Woodland Trust to 'manage' (often left for ages and then they come and decimate the area).

    In Praise of the Svord Mini

    What steel do these use? Heinnie's have the steel on them listed a bit strangely. 1. The colourful Peasant Minis are described in the blurb as using high carbon stainless steel, but the specs table lists just 'stainless steel' 2. The Crystal (translucent clear plastic) one is described as using...

    Waterborne Viruses/Filter limits/W.HighlandWay

    My Milton bag runs circles around all other filter types. Or is that my Keynes one... And don't mention Maynard.

    Waterborne Viruses/Filter limits/W.HighlandWay

    I too use a Grayl - must say I found it far from easy to use out in the sticks with the amount of pressure required to filter through it, even using visibly clear water running into the tarns in the Lake District. Definite habit of it spurting out upwards at my face if not completely aligned...

    Brilliant, thanks

    Am I carrying too much gear.

    Could you use this instead of e.g. silicone blobs on a sleep mat to stop it from sliding around? It seems I always end up on a slight slope and wake up periodically further and further off the groundsheet!
