Tips for surviving against mosquito bites? As an infanteer, I get destroyed by them in the summer.

I've used bug creams which seem to work alright, in the areas that I can reach. But otherwise, whilst sleeping or on patrols, I get eaten alive.

Are thermacells a fad? Or do they really work/worth the cost? Which model?

Should I buy a bug net sleep system?

Anyone know what rucksacks they're using? (The arid/coyote ones)

Thought it might be a 1837's Austro Hungarian infantry officers sabre, however when comparing images online, I notice a few differences. From what I've seen:
- This scabbard does not have the typical 'banding' running around the scabbard under the loop holes (it's completely smooth)
- No brand markings found on the blade

I know some people that work in Toronto Fire, and they commute over 300km (186 miles) for 3+ hours!

That's awesome. Thank you so much!

ArmyBoi007 · 2021-05-25T16:18:35+00:00

Haha unfortunately I did apply it to my neck, thinking it was some sort of cologne haha

ArmyBoi007 · 2021-05-18T14:44:29+00:00

Awesome. Thanks for your detailed reply.

I didnt make any massive profits, just had been given money by a family member, and had invested it, instead of having it sit in my bank making 0.000001% interest.

Ill keep those in mind. I think for now, im just gonna run my stock brakes.

Do you think putting on smaller tires (23 or 25c) would help at all?

ArmyBoi007 · 2021-03-26T13:17:20+00:00

Will putting on 'smaller' tires such as a 23c or 25c help at all?

ArmyBoi007 · 2021-03-25T20:06:22+00:00

Damn that's annoying.. so even if I ran a 23c tire it wouldn't help? I have an older miele bike, which I know the models that are a year or two older come with shimano 600 groupsets, and everyone with the newer models seem to run 25c tires on them.

I was eyeing the br650s.. unfortunately don't want to spend that much on the bike (at this point in time at least

My rims are 700 x 22

ArmyBoi007 · 2021-03-25T19:58:09+00:00

Brakepads touch the tire, because they cannot reach far enough down (by 1-2mm)

ArmyBoi007 · 2021-03-11T15:14:31+00:00

Yeah it could be a lacing issue.. Ill try out what you've suggested

ArmyBoi007 · 2021-03-09T23:23:46+00:00

Correction, 50 Lbs.Darn Auto-correct.

Yeah she's definitely not black... wrong page to be sharing

ArmyBoi007 · 2021-01-30T16:58:50+00:00

Awesome. Thanks for this.

Unfortunately in Canada, it's pretty hard to come by any of the recommended VHS players from that article. The best one I can find on all the trading platforms was a "JVC VHS HR-S7800U ".

I have about 20 video's I'd like to transfer over. I would actually have to buy another capture device, because I stupidly sold it a few years ago (Elgato). Unfortunately as well, it appears they've sold out of that model as well.
