Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
Why do people do (or not do) many of the things they do? I suspect either they didn't realize Tupperware's policy or they just couldn't be bothered. Maybe they were just cleaning out before a move.
Tilley return the original, but they do mark it so you can't do it twice. Besides, if the company is that good in their customer service, why try to rip them off? Good customer service is all too rare as it is.
My Swanndri shirt (button up job in green check) without a doubt (must be 20yrs old) proper original made in NZ not China where I'm told they are made now and they are not (I'm told) as good, mine has been on my back most days and it's a bit threadbare now (told many times that I can't go out in that) but what a piece of kit, from memory I gave £50 for it new, it's been worth every penny.
Probably my Meindl Burmas. Climbed some pretty tough terrain including a fair few welsh mountains over the two and a half years I have owned them yet they bearly look broken in. The vibram tread on these boots is truly outstanding, it almost appears new when cleaned up as there is no wear damage at all. I cant see them giving up any time soon. And when they finally do - gonna get another pair.

Not purchased, but issued...the simple British Army Wooly pully. Warm in all conditions and breaths easily. Just so versatile it's untrue. I've heard recently that some units are now allowing them to be worn again.
Pair of kids black leather Hi-tech boots. Cost me £25 and the salesman said to me that if I wore them out within six months he'd give me my money back and a new pair too.
At that time I was working hard (archaeology) and I killed clothes and boots. I had bought a new pair every three months from him for two years, everything from brasher to scarpa, etc.,....well, it's now at least 15 years down the line and those wee black boots are still going strong
while the rest are well and truly dead and disposed of.
They have been hiked in, swam in :yikes: sweated in, climbed in, farmyard worked in, gardened in, ploutered along a thousand burns in, toasted beside campfires in, wandered along seacaves in, scrambled over rocks and moors and forests in, and they are still my comfiest pair of boots. They don't owe me a halfpenny
cheers,

Did you know Hi-Tech are Magnum?
When they first started out 18 years or so (with boots) they were the cheapest you could buy. You can now buy a £180 pair of Magnums!
I didn't
I do know that that pair have been bombproof and comfortable too 
I bought a pair of side zip magnums not so long ago, and blistered within a couple of hundred metres walking in them
I've kept them at the back door so that they get slipped on for out in the garden, or down the burnside, and they are improving
slowly, but they're becoming not quite so 'rigid' but still secure when on.cheers,

Condoms as they've allowed me the time and money to still going out to play and buy kit.
Although I'm rather attached to my climbing rope.

I would have to say it's my diotto no scratch high leg boots. Incredibly comfy, grip and support. Very light weight too.
Can be worn laced or unlaced using the locking lace block and Velcro flap.
These really are scratch proof, and waterproof. Best boots I've ever had.
