9 days later, no indication that my order from Durston has been processed let alone shipped and no response to emails asking for clarification.
Highly unimpressed.
Pretty much the worst customer service I have experienced in the industry. Don't care how good it is Im never buying anything from him again.

Caught @nprofile…2wxk lecture this evening (after missing it on Wednesday). Highly recommended! Kinda breaks my heart that Im taking some of the last relatively clean images of the night sky, and even more sad that we're really only one incident away from losing orbit to space debris for as long as it takes the resulting space flotsam to re-enter (trashing the atmosphere on its way). That weirdo Musk is stealing the night sky, catch it while it's still there!

Lads - it's really f**king tempting....
Can anyone find me a decent roof rack solution so I can carry a couple of whitewater boats?

@nprofile…3w02 Chernobyl A History of a Tragedy by Serhii Plokhy goes into far more depth about the party conditions that gave rise to the explosion, and infinitely more detail about the repercussions. It's a much more authoritative work.

Sodium bicarbonate (as a paste, not a soak) with a toothbrush and it's making inroads. Gentle abrasive seems to be the answer here

Random question - anyone ever had to get tea stains out of Titanium before? I have a mug that needs a little maintenance.

I have seen some pretty kooky photos used in outdoor gear ads over the years, but I reckon this is about the best! This is not how you body rappel - it's how you give yourself an atomic super wedgie and possibly die in the process.

Folks I have the mp3s for Careless People (the facebook expose) in the Proton Drive, it's very much a steal this book kind of book so if you want the link and password let me know.

@nprofile…gj99 @nprofile…kryq Yep, my thoughts exactly. Whatever it is it will be baseline spec, I don't want all the fluff that will break - I can add wheels that I actually like

@nprofile…gj99 @nprofile…kryq @nprofile…8wwy Good to know. Im in the market for "something" this financial year, but I don't know what yet. Leather won't be good for wet kayakers - I wanted custom Carhart seat covers but that's unlikely to happen now

@nprofile…gj99 @nprofile…kryq @nprofile…8wwy Never had a leather interior, vinyl in my mini and maxi, everything else has been cloth other than the 206 that has a leather and Alcantara mix

@nprofile…fakd What is the gas mix they are using for altitude sickness? More than just O2?

@nprofile…fakd Trudging up fixed ropes, yep can see that happening. Can't imagine it's going to be all that good for things that are all about the feel and little balance shifts.
It's going to be weaponised for sure, martian marine power armour coming up

@nprofile…fakd Could see it being good for hauling a sled to the South Pole or something, but not sure about in the bush....
Work though - with a built in winch for going up and down rope, be awesome!

Fun day. Something that could completely change the direction of my life. 60:40 odds I reckon, but something I have always wanted to do.
Should know in a couple of weeks

@nprofile…gj99 @nprofile…kryq I needed a slightly different approach on here - so my own instance and keeping it tiny. Minimise the doom, and just the folks who are always good for a giggle
