    Heads up - VAT and fees on second hand tools from Republic of Ireland

    Just had to swallow a bitter and unexpected pill. £20.50 VAT and £8 handling on a £105 second hand purchase sent from the Republic of Ireland. I suppose I should have known, but I have never bought second hand from outside the UK before and I wasn't paying attention to where the sale was...

    UK spray foam insulation company and Indian forum spam

    The use of manually approved posts for new members has been effective at eliminating the spam posting we once saw. What we see now is accounts created where the spam advertising is contained in the About section. We tend to be pretty efficient at spam cleaning those accounts. Often the...

    Just had to share, wood "porn" - dyed and stabilised

    A while back I sent some wood to the US for stabilising, and some of it for dying first. It was waiting for me when I got back from the Moot and I have been gradually cleaning up some of the blocks. Thought I would share. I can't wait to get to work on some of these! These are all spalted...

    UK custom tent makers?

    Are there any people or small companies in the UK who will make things like mesh bug nests for lavvus and other floorless shelters / tarps? I know of Bearpaw Wilderness Designs in the US, not sure if there are even any others like them over there.

    To stay or to go? Intentionally goin

    I have a week booked off work next week. I was thinking about going up to the Lake District to camp, use my new 2-man tipi and climb some mountains. Travel up on Sunday, back on Friday. Been looking at the weather and it is looking pretty grim. Lots of rain, rain almost every day during the...

    Slow sales?

    It seems to me that in the last few months sales on the forum for all sorts of stuff have been slower than usual. There seem to be more than usual threads where folk are bumping and lowering prices and still getting no interest. I used to reckon that a new-ish item in very good condition could...

    Micarta (Tufnol) vs Stabilised wood on stainless steel?

    I know this is an old topic, but I think the membership has changed a little since it was last discussed. What do folks prefer for the handles of their knives, and their bushcraft/outdoors knives in particular? If you had a choice between phenolic laminate (Micarta or Tufnol) and a figured...
