dalthegooner 1,242 Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 ...The stove video looks like it could be great for doing with the scouts. (i've recently started as a leader) I'm a little concerned about the sharp edges though and this would require a risk assessment! At least the Mrs is a health and safety officer. Cut level 3 gloves. Risk Assessment done Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hawkman 81 Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 (edited) I received 4 sets of rod protectors today. Made by NGT, I got them off E bay £14 and are spot on..My Nash tip tops have seen better days, so I thought I'd get some new ones.

dalthegooner 1,242 Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Went in to my local tackle shop today, not for anything in particular, and they had a Berkley F1 Tri Top Barbel rod for £50 so I couldn't say no It's a lovely rod and comes with 1.5lb, 1.75lb and 2lb test curve top sections. Well happy Then I got two Daiwa Crosscast X 5000 reels as well (I need to use my Daiwa Regal Z 4000 for the Barbel rod, so had to get new reels for my carp rods ) And some 8lb Daiwa sensor Oh, and some Korda Tungsten Tubing. I'm dreading getting the credit card bill this month Quote Link to post Share on other sites

buzzbomb 1,032 Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 I needed a new booster pack and they were on sale at Canadian Tire so I walked out about $125 poorer, but this thing should run whatever I want for days on end and has a compressor built in as well.

hawkman 81 Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Carp for heroes? What is that exactly? It's to raise money for the forces, the same as help for heroes. It has a website , it does charity events Carpmaster 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ouchthathurt 716 Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 I like it! I got smashed up in afghanistan in 2012, only had a week left on tour and got into a massive dust up with the taliban, my mate lost 3 limbs and i permanently mangled my shoulder whilst treating him. (i'm a military medic) to be honest, im still not right, physically (to be expected - but all my limbs are still attached!!) or mentally either. Due to leave the army after 11yrs service in december bacause of injuries sustained. I have been priveledged to have served in many different regiments. Although i have never called upon the services of military charities (i dont consider myself injured enough) i 100% back their work and wish the charities shouldnt have to supply these services. this was taken a few days before i was wounded, i had gone through 7 months of fighting, been shot at, blown up, shot back, hit a few, treated 33 massively injured allies, (plus countless others of afghan men, women and children caught up in the taliban's cowardly tactics) thought i was home and dry. Then a routine patrol went sour and it happened. Anything that helps lads that were hurt far worse than i was, deserve all the help they get. More lads leave afghan/iraq wounded than anyone woukd ever know, but we did our job, and combat missions have ended.
