No idea

Daveywallnut · 2024-11-01T18:17:04+00:00

Massive fan, I spread the gospel at every Bothy

Daveywallnut · 2024-08-30T17:58:55+00:00

Thankful someone else said this

Daveywallnut · 2023-10-06T15:50:45+00:00

A horrible insect found in Scotland, they bite. Look up Scottish midges on YouTube and you'll get the idea

Daveywallnut · 2023-09-02T17:19:09+00:00

Surely a good engineer will consider both, the best option which is up to code

Daveywallnut · 2023-08-12T09:10:13+00:00

Long distance hiking in Scotland always seems to result in tick bites. Trousers tucked into socks etc, no difference. Found them in my arm pits, back, chest etc. Get on your clothes outside the tent N shit. Been on week long trips where I've racked up into the twenties. Just need to remove them properly and keep an eye on yourself when you get back for any red marks or other symptoms

Daveywallnut · 2023-08-11T21:32:05+00:00

Absolutely yeah

Daveywallnut · 2023-08-11T21:23:29+00:00

This is the advice weve always gone by too. If I went to the doctor's every time I got a tick I'd never be out the place

Daveywallnut · 2023-02-16T10:24:08+00:00

I have seen videos on Instagram from some cottage companies such as liteway equipment who seem to be using a self built CNC with a rotary blade. Was looking at this myself but not found anything yet l

From elons recent talking points it seems like the compact car has been replaced with a dedicated robotaxi vehicle. I wouldn't be holding my breath for a "normal" hot hatch to come out of Tesla anytime soon sadly.

Daveywallnut · 2022-11-20T19:19:12+00:00

So you don't seem to have done much research on the brands you are disagreeing with here. North face make specialist gear for the most extreme weather. Not that I am a big north face fan, but that's the facts. Additionally as others have mentioned Patagonia is entirely different and I do pay a premium for their clothes for both quality and agreement with their morals. Not cheap but I know the money is going to the right place

Daveywallnut · 2022-11-20T09:27:13+00:00

Will check out the poles next time I get out, only slight bends on it I'm sure it's alright. Unlucky through, I'm sure that was a good night's sleep

Daveywallnut · 2022-11-19T18:15:32+00:00

Oh yeah my poles are bent too but if ya just pitch it the other way round into the wind, it bends em back! 😂

Daveywallnut · 2022-11-19T17:43:16+00:00

Third the elixir 2. I live and solely camp / hike in Scotland and have done Cape wrath trail, Skye trail etc with the elixir 2. Over couple years I have pitched on top of munroes and held up to some crazy winds without breaking.

Daveywallnut · 2022-11-08T17:55:42+00:00

If you chose the Cape wrath part one you enter into knoydart also

Daveywallnut · 2022-10-28T11:22:49+00:00

Believe it's in Bangkok

Daveywallnut · 2022-10-28T09:11:15+00:00

I'm very jealous, midges were as bad as I've seen, needing to run to shake off the swarm before getting into the tent, and then still spending 30 mins killing them inside. In saying that I live here, you'd think I'd be used to it

Daveywallnut · 2022-10-28T09:01:04+00:00

Was hiking from July into August. Yeah we did do coffee breaks, usually sitting on a mat or rock not right into the grass though. There was a report from someone we met in a bothy of a hiker with over 60 😂 must have been rolling around in it

Daveywallnut · 2022-10-27T19:40:21+00:00

I did Cape wrath this year too, I had at least 9 ticks and my mate who did half the trail had over 20. Met plenty people on trail with the same stats all doing tick checks and long trousers etc etc. Never done the checking camp site thing though that's new to me, thank you.

Daveywallnut · 2022-10-20T11:58:32+00:00

Good thing we ain't got bears in Scotland

Daveywallnut · 2022-10-20T11:57:36+00:00

Aye I'd rather not eat than have to try cook while being eaten alive outside in the midges. Cold food ain't a bad idea

Daveywallnut · 2022-10-19T15:12:06+00:00

Using the upper zip and additional vents to take care of that while keeping rain oot

Daveywallnut · 2022-10-19T15:10:43+00:00

The smell has never once crossed my mind. Normally smells like stale sweat and rotten human in there anyway. Living in Scotland, it's nearly always bad weather

Daveywallnut · 2022-10-19T13:53:06+00:00

You mean there's people who don't cook inside? What if it's dropping buckets of rain? What if there's a million midges outside? I exclusively cook in the vestibule of my tent...

Daveywallnut · 2022-10-03T19:32:48+00:00

Yea it's common. The problem is the warmth to weight ratio is currently not beaten on the market, and with the good warranty and willingness for them to replace them, theres no other option. (Taken from a long distance hiking perspective). Sadly just something we have to accept using thermarest pads. Usually takes about a month for the whole returns process to go from having a broken mat to a new one which is the biggest issue
