£11.47 delivered from Aliexpress. Not quite Amsteel blue but it is 6mm not 2mm and £0.80 a metre. Needs a big "bury" but comes with a free "tree protector" for my ridge line and one end has the loop made for me! 7000lb should hold even my bottom and belly!

Tom: Do those lids have pin hole vacuum release holes?

I bought 2 really nice REMY (France) pots with lids, some years ago. Bloody lids would stick on the pots unless I reheated the things. Even steaming a basket of fresh veg, they would lock shut.
Stainless steel, need a drill bitt angle of 100 degrees for s/s and one hole each, just inside the rim = perfect fix.

The Zebra pans don't have the closest fit so I don't think there's any chance of them vacuuming shut. It's not happened so far with the two I've had for a while.

I just finished the wax canvas case for the new ones

Roll top as usual, I need to soak and shrink the stitches. Buckles off a freebie Craghoppers belt that came with some trousers.

@TeeDee Don't get me wrong about the ancient weapons collection; I love it. however if you're buying them with a view to "take France, then America" wouldn't it be more cost effective just to buy France and then America? LOL

I'm happy to wait and see how far you current POTUS can bring the place back down to the level where you beg for our Monarchy to be re-established. :)

Hope you are well - Nice to see you back.

Haven´t opened it fully yet so I don´t know about the central hanging point and the way I intend to erect it I don´t need a central hanging point.
This is my first tarp so can´ t compare to anything.

Received my order of three more micro fleece lined shirts by Hoggs of Fife - in Beech, Bramble, and Bracken colour ways. They are soooo comfy, warm and light that I felt I needed more of them for the upcoming colder season. They were also on sale at Hollands Country Clothing, who obliged with good prices and exemplary service. It seems to me that both the shirts and the shop are to be recommended.
