    Alive and kicking i see?

    From the Stockholm area here. There’s a Facebook group, so generally I’m not in here either. Sadly the Facebook group was picking up speed and sort of went on hold as well when the current events took hold last year.

    Any recommendatios for a foldable camp chair

    Hi, I have couple of the expander chairs. On mine I noticed just the other day that both have broken parts. There are two metal brackets inside the piping that the frame rests on when folded out. Three out of four on my two chairs are broken. I don’t see how they can be easily replaced. The...

    Cellphone network

    My experience in Sweden/Norway/Denmark (even the interior of Iceland) is that the main roads have fair to good coverage, even in rural areas. If there isn't coverage just find high ground.

I believe there was an incident at SEMA last year where they threw out a couple of vendors...

    DOES COUNTRY OF ORIGIN INFLUENCE YOUR PURCHASE

    I try to buy quality where it matters, but then it's more down to brand reputation than country of origin. Stuff that will keep me alive, save significant effort, provide a markable difference in comfort or piece of mind. Other things don't really matter - they can come from wherever. The...
