I bought a Garmin Gecko GPS today new in its box. I have a few GPS receiver some with full colour mapping, but the small simple gecko just gives osgb grid refs and that all I need. It weighs nothing and is tiny. I have heard that the old fashioned antenna design can be a bit weak on this and...
I have a suuntor core a fantastic watch so long as you don't actually have to read the dial. You would not expect this type of display on a £1.50 watch from china so I have no idea why suunto thought this was a desirable feature for mountaineers often working in variable lighting conditions...
I have some boxes of these these and they don't taste very nice. They leave a horrible fatty slimey taste in the mouth. The good thing is they taste foul so you won't be tempted to eat them. I bought three boxes and opened one at work, not even the guys in the office would eat them. I sure they...
No sorry I cannot remember what grade of stainless. I bought them as a set 10 years ago. Victorinox brand. All the blades have different number but I think just date stamps. 5.2003.19. I suspect something hard as my stones don't touch them. Japanese water stones don't touch them, best result...
I normally think that I am good at sharpening knives and tools. I have all the kit from Japanese water stones, Dmt diamond hones and various natural and synthetic stones. However I just cannot get stainless knives sharp. I bought the wife a set of expensive stainless knives and I have a Buck...
I have a few relatively, expensive knifes. When I got started I did not know who made the " the best knives" so I went with the big name brands. This was probably a expensive mistake as I would have been better waiting and trying various makes at bushcraft meets to find one that suit me. I did...
I have the basic Etrex and a all singing and dancing satmap fully loaded with maps. I almost never use the satmap as its heavy, takes up to much pack space. I have used a few different nav systems that can be loaded with maps but they are just not a easy to use as paper as the screens are All...
I bought a Nato one last year. They are rubbish and a cheap nite lite for £9 on ebay is brighter and weighs less than the Nato boat anchor. I have a few tritium lights from various companies. I would say they are useful for position markers but not as a source of illumination, for map reading...
I have the Hestra falts gloves and they are not that great and the wool liners are not very warm and they are very far from waterproof. But then again they are designed for arctic use so water is not a problem. Just to mention I use the Hestra Helle ski glove and the synthetic liner is very...
Lucky me I have a copy Lars signed for me in Kiruna. Fantastic pictures just wish I could read Swedish.
And to Quote Lars: if you don't get your fire lit, you will die.
