    I use Barclay Card in my business. I have 2 cradles and 2 hand sets for when it gets busy. I held off for a good while, then started taking card payments a few years ago. Takings went up, people are inclined to spend more by card. Because when it's just a tap of a card, customers are more inclined to say o give us one of them as well and such like. I now average roughly 50% card and 50% cash sales daily . It's the way forward in today's society. Yet I am old school and always been a cash man myself.

    What's the actual benefits of cold water swimming and ice bath ect ? I actually have the Wim Hof book , just haven't got round to reading it yet.

    Mackem sleeping pad wise I got three , a thermarest for winter camping , a sea to summit still a winter mat and insulated , but a bit lighter and thinner . And a ultralight one for summer only a gram counter gear crash mat. I've used it in summer up in the hills on heather and it's been fine .

    I've got 2 dodgy knees after a slight incident in Puerto Banus years ago lol , but that's another story lol. Have a look at X Boil stoves, they look good and ultralight weight. Or probably a light weight gas canister stove MSR Pocket Rocket or suchlike. I like the Soto Windmaster as the pot supports are more stable I think. Also check out Des Cattys alcohol stoves on Etsy only about 25 grams and can get a Luxada titanium pot stand also about 25 grams ish, but you also got to take into consideration the fuel bottle

    What's everyone's preferred method of cooking when out and about ? I do like cooking on open fire or bush box were I can, you just can't beat it. But if up in the mountains and using a boil in bag meal, I will just use a jetboil minimo. Also have a Soto Windmaster for gas canister cooking. But I do really like alcohol stoves for there simplicity. A trianga or similar or home made affair. What's everyone using ?

    Just bought a new peace of gear, a Outdoor Research Bivvy. Only 484 grams in weight, that's pretty light for a hooked bivvy. Be ideal for a few light weight bivvy adventures here and there. Probably be a few weeks before I get chance to try it as an mowed out in work. Am super impressed with quality of it. Here is a couple of pics of it, sorry for picture quality I think I used a potato to take em lol.

    A good little tent is the Alpkit Soloist, only small but fairly lightish and not a bad price, here is mine on the pennines. Osprey decent packs and I have a ultralight one by 3ulf gear off Ali Express.

    Years ago when I was in the building game I plastered a kitchen for pop star legend Peter Hook from New Order and Joy Division. He was a nice fella and showed round his huge house and car collection. His wife was nice too and a stoner, she would come in the kitchen and roll one and chat away to me. Back in them days I used go for a beer on way home from work and have the crack in the tap room. So I used set my phone to ring at a certain time , then when it rung I'd say out loud " FFS it's Madonna again, I've told her I can't plaster her ensuite till I've finished Eltons down stairs bog ! " all

    Another quick little overnighter for a re sett from work ect. Out in Trevor the Transit again lol. I made a diy awning from an old flames creed tarp some tarp poles and mini clamps and wanted test it out. Only cost me £28 to make it. Wasn't bad but needs tweeking. Had burgers on firebox and a few beers and wander with catty and take in the solitude and moors. Didn't see one person or motor , just perfect !

    Opposite for me am more accurate with 8mm and lighter bands, but prefer 9.5s for hunting. I just think the 8mm may have flatter trajectory and the lighter bands easier to aim more consistently

    Just got up for work so pint of water with vitamin C and zinc tab inn and a black coffee no sugar. Always start the day with those for over 10 years now

    After seeing tatblisters mention a catty on fleabay I ordered one. A ott 90mm clipped frame for only £19 including postage, decent quality for the price obviously not up to the standard of a £60 plus frames , but a bargain at that price. Just got inn after an hour's mooch at first light, wasn't much about. But the frame shoots lovely for the price. My only gripe is I would of preferred green as to orange. But he didn't have any 90mm in green. He does the frames in 85 90 and 100mm in ott or ttf and wrap and tuck for only £15 including postage. Fellas called Dan Leighton on fleabay. Well wort

    Just ordered a clipped 90mm one only £19 , worth a punt

    Just can't for the life of me get used to tubes
  21. Leo Sayer
    Do you mean them Leighton cattys ? I had a gypsy tube one off him , belting frame, but I just can't hit out with tube lol. Them clipped frames for 20 quid look belting

    Had a blank spell for a while , had an hour's walk at first light and bagged a woodie with the hedgerow Hunter. Loving morning to be out.

    I don't think so mate it's a true story of a fella that crossed them and lost everything. And yeah some canny off grid conversions about. Mines just basic , got a sink running water and lights and leisure battery . A fixed single bed which doubles as a sofa in the day and a removable table that clips to inside of back door when not in use. No campsites for me , just off the beaten track roads lay bys and pull off on top of the moor roads ect were I can. I did origanely have a fixed double cooker , but took it out as to bulky so I could get better use of work top space. And now jus

    Cheers Dan and kinda...........i pressed the buy now button on Etsy lol

    Probably just short covert missions with dog over the borders lol. I run my own business and the nature of the business and staff and supplying other shops doesn't give me a great deal of time to be off work these days, so a few overnighters or long weekends off grid will do me. Just checking out other counties, bit of cheeky hedge hopping. I wouldn't mind doing the NC 500 to be honest Mac. The gypsy code , is about a fella that upsets some travellers and goes on the run. Just did first couple of chapters yesterday and seems ok up to yet.
