    Spyderco Endela K390 folder pocket knife, carbon steel is easy to touch up, 88g, lightweight, works good on sika and bull tahr. Have always preferred fixed blades but this one is pretty good.

    Yeah pretty steep for what it is. I think I got it for $24 when I purchased something else. If I had known about the Ali express version I probably would have given that a try first.

    Head torch that takes 18650 batteries AND is charged via USB C. No more spending the evening before a trip trying to find one charging cable. Phone charger + a couple spare 18650s, job done.

    Nice to read this. My tibets still have the factory insoles which are like a piece of cardboard. Was looking at flash as insoles but I think I'll try the John bulls now.

    Question on gas transfer valves. When I decant air from one dive tank to another, it's pretty inefficient. Say you have two tanks of the same size, one full, one empty, you end up with two tanks that are half filled (i.e. pressure equalises). Must be the same deal? It becomes more efficient if the donor container is much larger. How do you do it?

    Weigh the recipient can when full and write the weight in the bottom. Once you've used some, chuck it in the freezer for half an hour and whack the other one in front of heater or some other mild heat source (just a warm room works). Donor on top, recipient on bottom and it transfers pretty quick. I usually count out 5 seconds or so then stop and re-weigh until it's about 99% of the original weight. That process has worked well for me anyway.

    Yeah. Cool the recipient and warm the donor. Works a treat.
    I usually put the recipient into the fridge for a while and the donor into hot water. 10 minutes will do it.

    My last job was in an aerosol manufacturing plant. If heating any type of can or canister don't go above 60'C.
