    Rucksack recommendations....

    Primarily for rucksack size and total weight carried. For example a summer only camper might find 50l size adequate as you don't necessarily need such a thick mat or more insulation, thermals, crampons, axe or sturdier tent. Conversely carrying a winter set-up in summer can be quite...

    Rucksack recommendations....

    I've got a 65l (+15) and generally summit camp and that just about right volume wise. Is winter camping part of the plan?

    Can I use my Android phone as a hands-free megaphone?

    What about old tech walkies talkies with a VOX function? Sounds like a solution but depends on what you deem inexpensive.

    Car trouble (wash/wipe)

    A generic Halfords one might work, depends on inner diameter of tubing. If so check the flow direction before you install. Can you get to the connector and remove it? I see you can get fluid to come out but is that with the connector still attached to the main reservoir tube or is the tube...

    Car trouble (wash/wipe)

    My "straight-through" connecting joint between hoses (Honda) is actually a small one-way valve. One bad winter somehow managed to damage the small spring/ball leading to virtually no water coming out the front jets. £5 part and problem solved.

    Landscape Vlogs - Is it just me

    Yeah I'm subbed to Renegade Scots channel too, he does seem like a decent likeable guy. Dan Bell is another fave, funny lad. His style is unique, injects fun and humour. You'll probably never learn anything technical from his channel but you will laugh. It is another take on landscape vlogs...

    Landscape Vlogs - Is it just me

    Scotland's Mountains is one I've been subbed to for a few years now. It is more of a walking, camping, sometimes climbing vlog, he never or rarely talks about gear or processing, yet hauls his drone and camera up and shows Scotland in all seasons at its most brutal yet beautiful. If you want...

    Neoprene lens covers

    Well after much thought I went with Outdoor Photography Gear, choosing a rubber backed premium version. First impressions for my 70-200 are very good although I have no direct comparison with other brands. I will now order a set for my Sigma 150-600c. I didn't want an ''army camo" or...

    Attaching a macro slide rail to a Manfrotto

    How are you going to attach the camera to the rail? You going to simply screw it on or buy another clamp & plate?

    Lee 105mm cir pol protection?

    After some thoughts I ordered a 105mm cap from Amazon. It fits well, appears to sit on or just clear of the front inner lip. The retaining mechanism seems strong enough and is small relative to the centre pinch caps. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B01NALMWRV/ref=mp_s_a_1_14
