  1. I was like a kid here. I want to camp it next time...
  2. Call me a skeptic but am I to believe that McNab here made a chest shot and then a head shot at 2400m just like that? I suspect there are parts of that story being left out...
  3. That c**t ain't wired right! He's been tested.
  4. I'm just doing what I always do and 'thinking' stuff to pieces. I get ya and I agree at that, I suppose, 'layman's' level of the word. Fighting (in the abstract sense of the word, might be combat, might be cancer) to win goes without saying I think. So by 'endure' I mean to see through whatever is inflicted in the accomplishment of that win. So in that respect, the question I have regarding hardness is, "is a man who goes through the same blows, but isn't as effected by them because nature made him less sensitive, any less hard than the man who overcomes his natural sensitivity to t
  5. Cheers for the advice everyone. I had a bit of a road trip at the weekend to watersports places and tried on a bunch. Only one I found to fit pretty well was the O'Neill Hyperfreak 4/3. Bit more money than I wanted to spend but fit is critical to me. All being well once I get my shit together I'll hopefully post some picture heavy stuff in the medium term.
  6. I wonder if I don't understand the definition of 'hard' or if you see it as synonymous with 'courage'. To me, 'hardness' is the ability to endure. There are obviously many dimensions to that, some good examples you have already given. But is a man who can endure hardship with ease, because nature privileged him with being built for it, less 'hard' than a man who suffered but still endured? To me he's just as hard. However I think we would both agree that courage can only be displayed in the presence of fear. A man who has been privileged by nature to feel little fear, or even feel c
  7. Any 22 centre fire. Saves f***ing around.
  8. Indeed he does! Personally I'm not a fan of people like him who I would term 'extremists'. There's more to life than insatiable fortitude imo. It's like fortitude is his goal, not a tool he uses to get to a goal. He just wants to punish himself for no other reason than to test his grit! I can't get my head around that. LOL I find his 'story' most impressive. How he went from being a piece of shit to being one of the grittyist c**ts I've ever heard of. That mental change.
  9. Ever tried one 'dirty', cooked direct on the fire?
  10. https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/80173524 One sketchy bit in it but the rest is quality imo.
  11. Jesus Christ, where to f***ing begin....
  12. The problem is my chest to waist ratio is too big, tits wouldn’t help! It’s a gut I need.
  13. Just caught up with S2......... Mate! FYI you might like Longmire. Similar stuff, not quite as grand but very similar, I loved it. This pretty much sums up Yellowstone for me. But this was brilliant. Spoiler! Don't watch if want to watch the series. Also, it's a bit strong if kids are around.
  14. I've probably told this story before. about 6 years ago a few of us from work had a bash at national 3 peaks. I get travel sick and at the time didn't really know how to manage it, other than to be the driver, that stops it. Anyway we did Nevis and then I drove us to the Lakes and we did Scarfell. Two out of our gang of four were clearly not up to it and jacked half way into Scarfell. They were pretty slow going up Nevis tbh. Not gonna lie, I was feeling it coming off the hill at this point and couldn't do the last leg of driving safely, I need sleep. Twenty minutes into sleep and those f***in
  15. Layne's a sport fisherman so he should have a bit of sense compared to the others who I assume are totally green.
  16. I was looking at 3mm just for summer season use. I figure if I take it up seriously then that's when I'm likely to need a 5-7mm suit.
  17. No worries, looked very similar. She's lovely mate.
  18. Basically for snorkelling mate. Eventually i want to dive for lobsters etc and spearfish but ill maybe look at a specialist suit for that, as and when. Ill almost certainly not be swimming in it. Cheers for the suggestion.
  19. So just to clarify, the wetsuit shouldn’t stand-off of your lower back / lumbar slightly? It should be tight?
  20. Thats where one of these came from i think. I've read loads and none the wiser, hence this thread. I'm just not sure if my proportions mean I'm a bit of a special case. Lol. Just need a tighter waist, everything else is snug as f**k, but any smaller size wise and I'd struggle everywhere else, especially in the chest/shoulder region.
  21. Bought eighty quid worth of mask snorkel and fins a couple weeks back in newquay and had an hour with it in just shorts in Dorset. First time snorkelling and it was f***ing awesome. Just practicing everything and having a bit of fun. Jelly fish got me apparently. Lol. I'm off to Brisbane in November and want to swim with dolphins etc. Next summer I want to properly spear fish with a view to some more foreign adventures. Just gaining experience and confidence in the short term.
  22. I live Nott’s but I’d be in the water around Dorset and Cornwall. I think a summer suit will be fine and then get a thicker proper spearo suit in the future. Other more exotic destinations I should be alright with just a rash guard.
  23. I might just have to send these back and wait until I can find a shop. Just not the area for them is the problem. Also that is exactly what I want mine for
