Get one that fits you – Mountain Equipment are good value and as good as any other ..

Geax TNT – stayed inflated for 24hrs without sealant – Racing Ralph also good ..

As cliché as it sounds – I don’t think any amount of advice or reason from others will ever serve as sufficient enough of a motivating factor- it has to come from within – plain and not necessarily so simple ..

Neo Air is superior in every way to the AlpKit air mat – If your bag is specifically for Bivy duties I’d make sure your down bag is hydrophobic – the cheapest I’ve seen are Rab – but they’re around £200 – otherwise go for a Mountain Hardwear synthetic or maybe a Marmot ..

Just makes inbreds seem that more awesome value for money ..

With the wheel on the floor I like to kneel on section of tyre already mounted so as to make sure beads are fully pressed into deepest section of rim – and work opposite side – a third tyre lever wouldn’t hurt – pretend your a world champion alligator wrestler …

Just make sure you pick a tried and tested rim/tyre combo – I’ll never run inner tubes again – 4 years 2 punctures – I’ve had 5 punctures on one ride back in the dark ages ..

Check out MCQ Bushcraft YouTube channel – Mike is awesome at all things Bushcraft – afair bit of crayfish content including trapping the legality and cooking .. Just subscribe anyway if your interested in anything Bushcraft related ..

That Canfield looks awesome ..

Spank

I think all these top of the line pedals should come with a rebuild kit as standard – it’s one thing when your £100 pedal develops play prematurely but then you’ve got to shell out extra and go through the hassle of ordering the kit – also why make all the bushings and dust caps etc non standard ? I want to go into my lbs and pick up the parts ..

Yet another B.S. rip off ..

Being described as ‘Liberal’ pertains to an inverse correlation with classical liberalism – pretty much the single track zeitgeist personified ..

As already mentioned Lightwave is Crux’s sister brand – not really cheaper just more directed at hill walking as opposed to climbing – I’d say all their products are 1st class – and you should be confident that after sales service will reflect that – I’m currently eyeing up one of their cuben fibre tarps.

I’m sure there are many exceptions however as a rule brown bikes don’t look good IMO ..

I’ve never had much luck with new batteries – I’ve replaced them in the past and still found the handset in question ran low on juice almost as fast as before – planned obsolescence.. Funny how a phone starts playing up soon after your out of contract – I’ve experienced this on most handsets ..

If e bikes get too popular I worry the government won’t distinguish them from bikes in general and we’ll end up needing insurance just to ride a normal push bike ..

What about Spank ? I’ve never had a pair but thinking about some – partly due to the excellent customer service I’ve had dealing with them ..

I’ve always called it the carcass – but shell is probably the more generic name thinking about it ..

Murray – Greatest British Player of all time ..

Mylar/space blankets are good for groundsheets – Poundland are doing 2m x 1m groundsheets – Put your mat on top of one of those – buy a 3m x 3m tarp from building supplies – that’s less than a tenner for whole kit – so long as tarp shelter has sufficient coverage there is no need to worry about sleeping bag getting rained on .. Return the bivy ..

If you have the shelter – don’t use bivy – it’s a waste of time ..

CEX are decent for 2nd hand – and they honour they’re year long guarantee .. They usually have a fair few in stock ..

Maybe look at 4k if your looking to own the TV for a while – might give some level of future proofing ..

Most games can be put on an easy difficulty setting – and as for looking around whilst on the move – most games have a sensitivity setting for analogue sticks ..

Murray is better than Fred Perry – Andy Murray is the greatest British player of all time ..

Murray has got some of the most versatile shot selection on the tour .

Stockholm Syndrome Track World ..

All the sites / apps / feeds people are listing I go on too and they can be useful for understanding dominant Anglo American myopic narrative but just make sure that you stimulate your capacity for critical thought via more in depth analysis also ..

Such a cruel paradox – When in earnest1 the notion that ‘out’ is attributable to a lack of education or intelligence ..

The ECFR have recognized that opposition parties are calling for 34 referenda across the EU ..

France, Holland, Italy, Austria, Finland, Hungary, Portugal, and Slovakia all appear to be considering referendums .. (Ipsos Mori Poll)

I’ve listed a frame – folk have mailed me saying they want it and then just stop messaging – Lord knows what possesses someone to behave so discourteously – I now sell through word of mouth only ..

Cultural Marxism always aims to deconstruct the family – no wonder so many useful idiots have no qualms relocating far away from loved ones – Government is their next of kin ..

“disintegration of the EU practically irreversible.” – George Soros ..

If there was a second referendum it would only serve to further the case for Brexit as we would see a greater majority who want out – There are an increasing number of European ‘member states’ who’s electorate want out – This sentiment I envisage will only gather momentum ..

No regrets ..

How does one arrive at the idea that the EU will serve in some way to curtail TTIP?

A tarp from the builders yard is cheap ..

If the tarp provides enough coverage then you won’t need bivy ..

I agree that cheap bivys are terrible .

A space blanket / Mylar sheet is a good cheap groundsheet ..

British stocks would be the best-performing equities in Europe should Britain vote for Brexit in 10 days time, according to a note sent to Deutsche Bank clients … But to digress the referendum is principally about culture – prosperity is a byproduct of culture ..
