    For Sale ALAN WOOD WOODLORE / RAY MEARS / ONE OF A KIND / NEVER TAKEN OUTSIDE

    I have received and sent knives between the UK and the Netherlands without problems. In the EU customs list, there is an option for "woodworking tool". If you use that on the correct form, print it out and put that it on the package there should be no issue. Maybe you can use that for the USA?

    Upgrading a 3 Season tent to 4 Season?

    I always thought the outer shell of a 4 season tent drops down to a little over the ground to keep snow out and the outer shell of a 3 season stops just above the ground for ventilation.

    Waterproof outer layer advice

    Agree with Herman30.... i'd stay away from anything goretex membrame-like material. Buy a cheap bikejacket with zippers and a wool baselayer.

    Orange is the New Black

    I was told orange is only used for gear because game like dear etc doesn't see that color. Not because it is the most visable color for people. So maybe pink is the new black :)

    Voltage drops under load

    Over here in the Netherlands you can ask the power company to install a 2 phase configuration in your house, the voltage goes up to 380v in that case. In your case you could regulate 2 phases/380v back to 250v in your house and have a more stable voltage.

You have 2 ways of starting a fire this way. Leave the spare change clothes at home. Leave the lEcoflow River 2 256wh powerstation at home...

    Best anti-tick clothing ?

    You can spray Permethrin on your clothing. And check very carefully every time you walk through potential areas. It took me 6 years to somewhat recover from a lyme infection.... Be carefull with Permethrin though, it is very toxic to cats too!

    Virus software rip off

    Advice from a website that is sponsored by advertisements from anti-virus-developers is also not very trustworthy.... I work in IT for more than 25 years and managed multiple datacentres, i have seen the security centre from Microsoft in Seattle. There is no solution that is 100% virus/spam proof.
