I wear toe socks. Creepers have been very good and I'm keen to try Injinji. I've always worn a liner sock and then a woolen sock over. For boots I wear the toe socks as the liner. For trail shoes...

My Scarpa leather boots blew apart half an hour into an overnight tramp the other week... switched over to the trail runners I carried in the top of my pack and carried on. Easy tramping so carrying...

I use Black Diamond aluminium poles with the lever lock - not the twisty cam lock. More secure. Love using them. ...

Nice looking country!

At this time of year there are lots of rod and reel package specials around in the hunting and fishing shops aimed at families and kids. Perfect for trout, wharf fishing, and even good on the...

Nice!

Running shorts with integral Lycra or spandex liner shorts/tights are the bees knees for walking in the hills. No chafing but still short, lightweight and quick to dry.

:thumbsup:

I have one of these and they're very good value for the money. I use a smaller Black Diamond one for pottering around camp but this one for walking in the dark. $45 bucks including...

Very nice!

I've been considering some. They were highly recommended by a local who gets them made to length for his whole family. He swears by...

My cheap-ish synthetic Hi-tec "hill walking" shoes have seen more miles in the hills (not alpine or mountains - hills) than my current full leather "proper" boots... the Hi-tecs aren't perfect and...

Titanium is good for heating water, that's it IMO. It sucks for frying, stewing, soup, porridge etc as its' too thin and things burn too fast. Hard anodised alu is a good tradeoff of weight vs....

Yea, that's the one. Seems to have it dialled in.

I've targeted them with fly and softbait, sight fishing the edges at incoming tide and always spooked them. The only I've caught was with a zed lure while salmon fishing... Dragged zeddy up over the...

his low-key humour is hilarious. I've watched quite a number of videos in a similar vein in the last few years all explaining why rainwear based on "waterproof breathable" membranes just don't live...

I really like Tui brand "Bug Balm". Smells good, keeps the sandflies off, no DEET.

that's why if I'm with someone else I let them take point first thing in the morning... they can clean up the spider webs :)

Interesting website thanks Terry, but too many choices!

What Inkbird model do I go for if all I want is a wired probe to keep track of internal temps for larger joints? I already have a small...

until only very recently I never realised that pink tape was plastic... for some reason I thought they'd use something biodegradable...

Yes, I tried to suggest to him that the Opinel is a great option for any number of reasons, but the shiny Victorinox with a bunch of functions won the day. No worries, he can get an Opinel for his...

Son #1 got a Swiss Army knife on his birthday and he's very chuffed with it. Already finding any excuse to use it :thumbsup::)

What's been said above - I try to find a pair that fits and go from there. No point in having brand X that everyone else wears if they don't work for you.

I have owned and worn Skellerup...

The $4 Kmart inflatable camp pillow is surprisingly good for the money. Works for me.

Asking for a friend...

How about the following scenario: Local club wants more qualified/certified range officers. Does sticking your hand up for this mean you now come to the attention of the...

someone I know told me a story of how he and his mates laid bait on sheet(s) of old corrugated iron in a clearing where pigs used to come out of the bush ... makes a handy alarm to let them know when...
