Re: Wildlife
There’s some Scandinavian spruce trees that are nearly 10000 years old - I think they’re all a bit trigger’s broom though since just like yew trees they produce a new trunk when one dies off This I didn’t know, I’ll have to look into this trunk thing now :-bd Says parent tree is that old so presuma...

Re: Bivvy curious
Much more comfortable than the Alpkit bag (only downside is the rab bag is missing a midge net) How is a bivvy bag more comfortable? :wink: You may find the RAB is somewhat more 'snug' than the Hunka XL, not much chance of getting a mat inside in my experience - or at least not an air mat.

Love owls, think they’re really cute
My daughters favourite teddy is based on that very type of owl you have Stu. She’s owl obsessed, like Bearlegged, she’s done falconry with owls. She also loved the picture!

Re: Wildlife
Don’t think trees come quite under wildlife but ventured out today to see an old tree…
Question is (I’m either being daft or over thinking it) does it mean the tree is 3500 years old or I’m reading it as it’s a cut off from an older tree, planted there and taken well

Re: Have tarps lost their popularity?
Maybe there’s still the same amount of people using tarps but there’s so many people ‘bikepacking’* now, it feels everyone is using a tent/hotel etc instead
*this needs a different thread but I’ve noticed a definite shift in what I would have called a bikepacking setup from ten years ago to now

Received an Altura trunk bag, seems Uber trend to use racks now so I’ve followed suit (only due to little frame clearance between saddle and tyre)

Re: Exposure Joystuck
Might be worth questioning the IP rating? Really not my forte in that side of things
Although I am a user of exposure, it does put me off a brand that has ‘excellent customer service’ and is well
known for it too. If the product is good, then how do people know this?

Re: Bargain Alert Thread
Altura dry line rack pack (trunk bag) Just got one of these on order, £44 instead of £75. Hopefully a Tailfin on the cheap (plus I only have 7 inches between saddle and rear tyre - can’t believe I typed that - so hopefully a good alternative to soft luggage or my Ortlieb panniers) https://www.amazon...

Re: i need a new front light..... idea's please.
If it’s for the fat Viking, you won’t need many lumens to keep you going. If it’s good conditions, you won’t need much light as the snow will reflect all the light and if it is snowing, you certainly don’t want a lot of light either. Win win situation!
