    Decathlon outdoor/hunting trousers

    Yeah I’ve had a couple of different styles of Solognac trousers. Definitely best to try them on. Sizing seems inconsistent. I wish more of them had zip cargo pockets on both legs. Otherswise perfect.

    Sleeve pockets

    Once soon a time the pockets were the ideal size for a packet of cigarettes. A lot of it is fashion now. They even have Velcro swatches on the sleeves. And you have to put your ski pass somewhere.

    Sleeve pockets

    Short answer. 1) Modern Body armour makes chest pockets difficult to access. Long answer 2) During the Vietnam war US troops added quite large pockets to the upper sleeves of their fatigues. Often done by removing the front pockets of their shirt and could be quite large. One purpose was to...

    Essential life saving skills.

    I watched a piece about a water safety campaigner who started her charity because her son had drowned. I must hit her again each time. But I’ve also had the “I am a strong swimmer, I’m fit”. The smaller kids who climb through the hole in the fence you made and see you go in may not be. And...

    I, Robot , I Soldier.

    On the economic front the US had pulled back on use of the higher tier “exquisite” munitions in Iran partly because of cost. F35 development was to be more cost effective alternative to the F22 (even pricey for the US). Unfortunately the B model seems to suffer from “blue screen of death” and...

    Essential life saving skills.

    Having spent much of the hottest days of the year so far escorting trespassers out of our site, which has very deep water, I have to agree. Police were very proactive however. I am still picking up litter and have to arrange disposal of nitrox oxide cans. At least I didn’t have to search for...

    Best outdoor work clothes

    I have a Ridgeline waterproof that survives the thickets. If I had the cash a Buffalo vest would be nice to have but I have a couple of very cheap fleece gilets that I double if needed. I have a vest with heating elements in it. Battery also works as a power bank 3-4 hours on the lowest...

    Coping with the heat.

    The scarves with absorbent crystals in extend the duration of the evaporative cooling effect. I am not sure if there is something similar that will work on the inside of your forearms. Otherwise I cheat, 8c. Got to check the trout stocks.

    What wildlife did you spot today?

    What trout? :p I like the punky red hair coot chicks sport. They almost look like Moorhens as they get a bit bigger and then go monochrome. Some Canada geese had nested beside the boat slipway. Only one egg hatched (l found a couple of eggs in the water) now the family has moved off so...
