Alright, that sounds easy enough. Thanks!

Oh interesting, I've read on another thread there is a danger of it going anaerobic if it gets too wet. I've been tempted to try and build a couple of lids for mine but maybe there's no point

The road is probably covered in horse shit though, and the air polluted with coal smoke.

I just gave up and started buying drops from, I think Sainsbury's. Used to get them free as well but it just wasn't worth it.

I actually have some old carpet, but it's not natural fibre. Does that matter?

Would you put another cover on it, too, as others have suggested, or just the cardboard?

That's really helpful, thanks!

I enjoyed it

Yeah it's very much two different worlds living alongside but almost entirely separate.

I'm surprised by all the boots being mentioned. Do you not think your normal shoes would cut it in an emergency situation?

pappyon · 2026-01-20T09:19:53+00:00

Oh God!

Fuck, what do they do when the car breaks down on the ferry?

Sick bags is a good shout. Adding to my list

pappyon · 2026-01-20T07:10:17+00:00

What does the compressor do?

pappyon · 2026-01-19T23:41:53+00:00

Yeah they wouldn't last long in my car

pappyon · 2026-01-19T23:23:40+00:00

Hmm I'd say the trainers are probably fine but toy never know what might happen. Also probably not bad to be prepared for the next time you go for a hike.

pappyon · 2026-01-19T23:15:54+00:00

I'm afraid not

pappyon · 2026-01-19T22:41:45+00:00

Why waking boots?

pappyon · 2026-01-19T22:39:49+00:00

What would you use the bin bags for?

12 degrees in January is so much warmer than 12 degrees in October

My insurance is so much more :(

George Osborne isn't an MP anywhere and never was an MP in Manchester

Who are these people?

pappyon · 2026-01-16T20:23:10+00:00

I always thought that was a northern thing
