    Black Rifles are Evil and Thuggish

    Hi "In October 2007, the Swiss Federal Council decided that the distribution of ammunition to soldiers shall stop and that all previously issued ammo shall be returned. By March 2011, more than 99% of the ammo has been received. Only special rapid deployment units and the military police still...

    In my humble opinion, less is more! Anyone else agree?

    Thats just perspective! I only need one axe, the wife only needs one hair dryer ;)

    All Underwear is Not Created Equal!

    UK brand Kiniki is well made and fits well. I bought two dozen cotton pairs for a trip which were hugely reduced, covered with the Union Jack. Then there was no confusion in commercial washaterias as to which were mine, I had more than enough to change during the day if needed, and when William...

    Watches - ExPo Style

    Thank you :) I wondered if the lack of on wrist accuracy was Suunto specific, or do others actually work? ;)

    Watches - ExPo Style

    Thermometer question. I'm on my second Suunto Observer which I really like. I don't like wearing a watch so it doesn't get much abuse, but the compass on the first said east was everywhere, not helpful!! Anyhow, the temperature displayed on both always essentially was of my wrist. Usually...

    What Axles configuration? (6 x 6 vs. 8 x 8)

    Happy New Year to you :) Regarding Carnet, you said 200 I said 50, its only the bare chassis not total vehicle cost here at least. If you asked for an agreed value (in the UK) of a brand new Land Rover anyone can look up the current retail price. But even if you had a brand new Unicat, and...

    What Axles configuration? (6 x 6 vs. 8 x 8)

    Big post! :Wow1: A UK issued Carnet would be for chassis only with what you're talking about, value negotiated between you and the issuer (RAC). For a £50K camper chassis you do indeed need £50K deposited, although in reality it will be more than that since for me in the UK, the last time I...

    What Axles configuration? (6 x 6 vs. 8 x 8)

    Thank you for sharing so much of your thought process :) In the UK a C1 licence is for 3500kg to 7500kg. A C licence is anything rigid over 3500kg. Both courses, hire of instructor, vehicle, test fees etc is about £1000 (C1 a bit cheaper maybe), so if you just did the Class C you get more for...

    What Axles configuration? (6 x 6 vs. 8 x 8)

    I have to say I still don't really get how you can save money by building a house you can ship to the USA? Even if the shipping was say £3K, + import tax etc, wouldn't that still takes weeks with accomodation to find in between? All the camper mains voltages would be wrong? Spare parts for what...

    What Axles configuration? (6 x 6 vs. 8 x 8)

    4x4 ;) If you have been happy enough travelling on a bike why do you need something so heavy? Two people only? You could build a 4x4 truck 6m long with more than enough room, shower, fixed bed etc, be under 7.5tons, twice the fuel consumption of any of the trucks you list (I would think)...

    Where to find a Unimog?

    Hiya http://www.expedition-imports.com/category/vehicle_inventory/ http://www.unimogs.co.uk/unimogsforsale.asp http://www.mobile.de/ The last can be searched for campers with 4x4, or just trucks, lots to view :)

    How to carry spirits

    French (?) surplus? Nice pouring lip, little container, hooks into the mouth for dessicant when empty I'm assuming. Not used it yet, 5 litres is a lot to put in to discover the lining is well past its best! :) And as far as Platy Preserve goes, I think the wine specific thing is the same as the...

    Takedown 12 guage

    O/T but some of you may appreciate. My Dad had a take down shotgun that he recently wanted to get rid of in the UK. He had minimal use for it, he's getting on a bit and wasn't sure what to do with it. When I was a kid a neighbour looked after the local farms pheasant population. He had this...

    Tent Insulation?

    My 2p :) Some ventilation is needed. If you cover the whole thing you may not let enough O2 in and CO2 out! Be careful! But not too much! One person in a three man tent will not be warm when its cold. Two people might be, three should be. If you can't close off nearly all the vents in your...
