One of these - maybe awesome , maybe rubbish.


I've always wondered how you set the tarp up with those. Do let us know how you get on with it!

Which type did you get? I've owned otom ones in small and large but never used them on myself despite owning them for 10+ years. Until the weekend when we found 2 ticks on our dog. Used the larger one but not sure we used it correctly. We twisted and pulled. It came off with a twisting tug but it didn't want to!! It looked intact but there's a swelling left in both tick sites. We now need a second set for us humans so interested in what you got.
It's probably the same ones; look like little bent crowbars?
They've worked really well on the dogs and are sturdy and blunt enough to travel well in a backpack. The instructions say to twist up but general advice for ticks is to pull straight up so I just use enough of a twisting motion to keep the tick seated in the claws of the remover.

Not very exciting, but a small sheet of clear perspex. I'm going to make a little window to replace the stove flashing on my lavvu in the summer.

I tested it last night with the front cover of a CD case and was very pleased with the amount of light it let in, but it cracked very quickly. The perspex should hold up well.

To be honest my pal ordered for me and I realy don't know. It's the square type with a timer and 5 trays fromy wayfair... I think.
It was half price.
Had a lot of problems ordering the one I wanted so we gave up and tried again with a different one. Had problems ordering that too so ended up with the half price one. Should have cost over £100 but got it for about £58 with standard delivery. So I was glad the first two flunked. Both of those were more expensive initially but I saved by buying the one on sale and ended up with a better one.
Will post a photo and details when I get it
