Two very good purchases! 
Persevere with the key; it takes some getting used to (sorry, you may already be familiar with keys). Luckily, my wife is quite happy to go through it

I think there is a vital letter A missing there, Herman30Sorry, I don´t understand what you mean.
How you view the shovel in a year
After some use.

Bought on your recommendation good sir. Hopefully I can study it this winter and put it to good use come the spring
Sorry, I don´t understand what you mean.
Sorry - I mean MY experience of more modern made multi joint Shovels have been slightly disappointing as they tend to not 'lock-up' as well as some of the WWII designed stuff - which admittedly tends to be heavier but I do think digging with one isn't the shovel equivalent of Russian Roulette.
As someone who teaches vehicle recovery skills, I find all folding shovels too short. When you need to dig the sand from under a bellied 110 in the desert you want the old military rigid long handled shovel. But, of course, different needs will require different solutions
Could you tell me where you got the cam net please.
Fiskars shovel, camo net, some straps.
Better picture of the net:
Camouflage netting M05 summer woodland, 150x200 cm
Scientifically created netting to imitate the summer woodland of northern hemisphere

I've recently bought this camo netting just to hide some stuff in the woods - 3m x 1.5m but up to 1.5 x 12m
B & M did have 8 packs of UHT type milk portions so I got 2 of those for the Mem' who doesnt like the powered stuff or evap'.
I had to resort to the Internet to get individual teabags in foil rather than paper packets. When herself was spending a lot of time in hotels for work I was knee deep in this sort of stuff. I've even had to buy shower caps for going over loaf tins to keep the draughts off them during rising!

There is a company called Single Portions,they are quite good,some stuff may just be out of date,but i'm still here.
What has the world become when a britt makes tea out of teabags nstead of loose tea?!
Why teabags, it´s no more difficult to use loose tea. And the quality is much better. That´s why I nowadays buy whole coffee beans and grind them myself.
Um, when you're halfway up Kinder Scout and the rains coming up parallel with the slope I'll take a teabag any time!
Truth be told I don't even mind 3 in 1 compo' tea, a connoisseur I am not!

Weirdly, although I don't mind a hint of hexy or even petrol in my tea I've never cared for tea from a flask. This from a man who recently policed up all his flasks and discovered he had enough to make quite a large abstract sculpture. Flasks I mainly use for soup and runny foods like stew or beans. And if you're beans ain't runny enough, wel. You're just not adding enough butter...

To restore, a pretty much unused Disston D-8 22 inch 10 TPI. saw Just need to take the handle off and soak in mild acid to dissolve the red stuff. The teeth don't evenneddtouchi gu came in a niceuk made case. Mike (Colne Tools) threw in the small tube cutter in free.
I think I got the teabags from Single Portions, if it the one who sells single items rather than boxes full. If not i certainly looked at their site.
Got a tray of single portion Duerrs honey from Home Bargains, no jam there either. £1.49 for 16.
