Just check it doesn’t react with steel ! I’ve this nagging feeling that I read somewhere that it did, but equally, I might have dreamt it.

I had a JP waterproof jacket that wasn’t! It’s not the only one I’ve heard of either. Once bitten........

Yes, it’s rose hip. I’m not aware of anything that they could be mistaken for.

My torch is a Torch Factory EVO 38. I’m not sure about the led, but it’s a square one: It is bright enough. It really is very poor at zooming though. My night master had (I’ve lost it) a single scatter ring which was irritating enough, but could have been fixed with a lens hood; not sure it would sort this one though. Thanks P.S. It’s a white led.

Is there anything as good for less money? I do have a cheaper torch that gives good light, but there is too much scatter when it’s zoomed.

Why would you think of changing when you’ve just had 10yrs out of your Chameaus? I currently have a pair, and they have outlasted my previous Aigles. The Aigles were comfy mind.

Is there a Sherman-Klove dealer in the UK?

Get well soon: good luck.

Couldn't make em last; found they gave up after 6months.

I don't like that big rubber logo thing; I'd feel a right twit in those. Sorry.

I'll bear that in mind, thanks.

Anyone got one, and if so, what do yo think to it?

Oh, and yes, I've bought a steel proofed Armasan for my shooting: steel certainly kills, and I can enjoy my shooting with a clean conscience.

Well I'm thinking of banning lead shot on my land. It just doesn't make sense to me to be broadcasting lead over land that's growing food. I am also concerned that wild birds will pick it up in mistake for grit, though I've no proof this happens, other than with waterfowl.

Don't worry, the opening poster could still be alive.

Is a .308 whisper still legal for deer?

I don't understand why people think they have a right, to free use of other people's property. Furthermore, I don't see why a property owner, shouldn't be allowed to make a reasonable charge for any inconvenience caused. If there is no sanction available, then people will take advantage, and without thought, divest the property owner of his rights. That said, there does need to be clear signage: those property owners that deliberately set out to deceive and take advantage of the unwary, are fraudsters, in my view.

So anyway, what is the best multi tool ? Is a Leatherman worth the price?

I was told at a young age, that a farmer should always have in his pocket- a piece of baler band, a sixpence and a pen knife.

I suspect the use of a knife against an animal, in self defence, or the defence of your child, would see that one off. Again though, tongue firmly in cheek.

The rabid dog isn't a person though is it, so the intent bit doesn't apply.

Yes that sounds better: I was just been facetious.

Still doesn't make sense: multi tools and knives are not generally made, intended, or adapted to cause harm to people.

Sounds a bit odd; a knife isn't generally made for the purpose of causing injury to people. By that definition it's the intent of the manufacturer that counts: completely nonsensical ! The carrying with intent bit is fair enough, but not at all easy to prove. However, a law abiding countryman with a penknife or multi tool in his pocket, shouldn't have need to be too concerned.

Isn't Salicylic acid Aspirin? I know Ruhbarb leaves contain Oxalic acid.
