    Barefoot boot recommendations

    The Arken do look cosy. Revivo is a useful official site for cheaper refurbished Vivobarefoot models. Vinted is also incredibly good for second hand shoes, but you're at the mercy of the private seller (I've bought two pairs on there and they are great, but it's like eBay).

    Barefoot boot recommendations

    I switch between the Kidepo (now discontinued) and the Tundra (owned for four years now) depending on conditions. They are not daily users though, I have other Freet models for running on/off road, and daily casual shoes are all Vivobarefoot. No issues with the separation you're describing, but...

    Wording of ‘zombie knife and machete’ ban being reported?

    I'd be really interested to know how they came up with their projected number of surrendered knives and what it means for how pointless they thought it all was.

    Barefoot boot recommendations

    I rate Freet's wares. I have the Tundra (and several other models of theirs!) and rate them; they've been my go to walking boot for a few years now. They have a Black Friday sale on at the moment. They have released several other models of walking boots since I bought mine so I'd suggest...

    PSA. Spyderco C94PDBL UKPK Blue 110 steel - £61

    It's worth noting that these come up occasionally on Amazon for that price, but you may need to wait many months for it to arrive. Sometimes quicker, but other times months, and I mean months!

    What did you buy today?

    I really rate this Urban. I've had several UKPKs over the years but none remains; I prefer the smaller form factor of this.

    What did you buy today?

    Not bought, but this really very cool carabiner 3D printed in PETG-CF by @Tony arrived today for winning the countryside fence photo heat run by @Mesquite It's my first time handling a compliant mechanism that's 3D printed, and it's in such a useful format to boot. It'll be going straight onto...

    Searching for an insulated sleeping mat (NOT inflatable!)

    Your suggested application against your body to me suggests it'll trap the moisture your body produces and conduct heat away (they have zero insulation value, they're to reflect heat). Mors did a really interesting video on Mylar and the misunderstandings around how it can be used (can't access...

    Swopping over to natural wool bedding.

    Yes this is a very good tip, and when I ordered a second time I did exactly this. I don't really understand quite how the Baavet wool duvet is so capable in winter and through to much of summer (all but the very hottest of days). It's great stuff and the bargain bin is definitely worth keeping...

    Met office "faking" climate data

    If it didn't come from industry then it would be captured from the air. The point is that fizzy drink CO2 is not being created by the fizzy drink. The CO2 in it already exists, either having been created by e.g. burning fuels or latent in the air. Industry generates new CO2. Fizzy drinks reuse...

    Suggestions for a lockable storage shed/workshop I could get asap?

    I'm not sure I really understand this - the only way to ensure things don't get nicked or tampered with is for them to be secure...or for no one to know that they're there. What sort of site are you putting this on? A shed of any description will be a visual attraction and if it's remote then...

    My minimal rainshelter.

    Under sounds very sweaty indeed! Can I ask what circumstances you've worn it like that and how it was?
