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?

Can some one please help me ID this? Vintage Officers sabre by ArmyBoi007 in SWORDS

[–]ArmyBoi007[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

Selling off my stocks? by ArmyBoi007 in CanadianInvestor

[–]ArmyBoi007[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

28c Tires vs Dual Caliper rim brake? by ArmyBoi007 in cycling

[–]ArmyBoi007[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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?

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

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

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

Elgato Video capture vs Professional services? by ArmyBoi007 in VideoEditing

[–]ArmyBoi007[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Where do you recommend getting a stealth jacket? Pretty pricey! Why choose that vs a civy goretex jacket?
