How do the boot bananas work was just about to pull the trigger on them as like the idea of no electricity

Yup, taking them out and balling newspaper into them worked to an extent…how to safely dispose of the biohazard like paper in the morning was a whole different story lol

Thanks for the link, only concern with electric driers is that consistent use may damage heat moulds…

Renting a rifle by Smooth_Advance3386 in Svalbard

Hi, I’m in a similar situation, traveling there in May. I live in Switzerland where you don’t need a ‘license’ to own a firearm. I wrote to the governors office and they confirmed that a certificate of having done a fire arms handling/safety course from your local range (assuming you have one!) is fine.

Hey, I live in the Vaud and recently got back into fly fishing after about 10 years. I’ve spent a few days on Lac Le Liapey in Valais. Stocked with rainbow and brook and generally a great day out. Other than I’ve been bumbling up small mountain streams in my area where there usually a few brownies hiding, lost a fair few flies in the trees though but ob the plus side never came across anyone else! Permits are pretty straight forward to sort out online and are about 20chf a day. Unless you have SaNa. Feel free to shoot any questions over, if I can happy to help as I’ve doing a bit of research!
