    Chest mount camera - GoPro type

    DSLR on planes.

    I've always taken a DSLR in hand luggage, never had an issue. I've mainly used Virgin but not had an issue with any of the other airlines. I use a think tank retrospective 30 or a backpack which has a DSLR compartment.

    Walking boots...

    I've got a pair of muckboots, they have lasted me years. They were recommended to me by a police dog handler. Great comfortable wellies. In terms of walking boots, I would recommended Lowa or altberg walking boots, they will last.

    Drone Honeymoon

    Same here, I'm looking for a GoPro and a drone [emoji30] I doubt the wife would have been happy though, lugging a drone around everywhere. Wonder what she would have made of it all initially.

    I saw this today and thought what a great idea. Must have cost them a fair bit to get around as much as they did, nonetheless a very creative and lovely video. View: https://youtu.be/Y0Zq6Q2m-ig

    Fashion goes ahead despite the dead body.

    They found him hanging and thought as a collective to carry on with their shoot. I cannot get my head round this.
