    UK price chops mag,lenser products

    heads up UK. 7dayshop is knocking out LED Lenser and Mag products at a pretty good reduction. I guess the advent of the LED Mag is driving the old mags to an early grave/closeout. LED Lenser are just too highly priced for the UK gereral public to part with good money for, so these seem to...

    Motto?

    I was in a cave on a sunny day last week. I had a PT EOS on my head and a Mag AA TLE-5 in hand. The guys down the cave with candles said "here's a guy with the right equipment". But I wasn't the guy with the right equipment. I was scrambling along chanting "could have brought something...

    worst/best place to live.

    My folks have just returned from Finland. They said the sun shone all night and some plants were 3 times the size of the UK versions. Now sun all night might be OK for old folks who get up at 3 am. But I'd never get to use a torch. Do you get a long winter to compensate, when you can go...
