    I wouldnt buy a waterproof made by Berghaus Paramo's Velez Smock is brillaint. I have two, an orange one and a green one. They are the only "modern" type waterproof I will wear. The green one I have used on the hill for stalking for the past 3 years and I bought the orange one for photography, walking and scrambling last winter. Second to my Swanndris I think they are the best jackets I have come across. They are completly waterproof and very windproof too. A real cracker of a jacket I wouldnt be without one. Páramo Sam

    Good stuff, I do alsorts, but dark and moody landscapes are my favourite. One of the best things to do to improve your skills is take pictures of animals and people, its hard to get right! Playing is the name of the game, all this "rule of thirds" stuff can wait Sam

    I have to say that the "Trees in the snow" pics were inspired by Michael Kenna's excellent Japenese stuff All on Grange Fell in the Lakes.

    Amen to that! Buy quaility buy once, buy cheap buy twice! The Meindl Waldlaufer (means Wood Walker - if my German is up to scratch!) I have recently bought are absalutely brilliant, so much better than the Husky Wellies I had before, but more expensive. Good boots and a good bed, if your not in one your in yan other as my Grandad used to say. As for troosers, I like my ForestWear Classics, but I dont climb - so thats not much use to you is it! Sam

    Would love a northen foray. Ther is a 2,000 year caledonian forest I know that we could probably use, its north of Inverness though - so that might be a bit far up! I think Borders/Lakes/Northumberland area would be good. Sam

    Im looking at upgrading my current saws (non-professional) to something of a higher calibre. I love the Husky 576XP, and liked the one I tried, but this issue seems to crop up time and time again both on here and with the professional users I know. This is the reason I am looking towards paying that extra money for a MS460 or MS441. If they would get their act together about it then I would certainly go Husky. Sam

    Typo? Or most de-railing post ever?! Sam:lol:

    BOOK! I would buy it. I think a cross between a guide/experiances/philosophy would work brilliantly. Your posts are always top of the list to read when I log in. Something similar but chaptered? More than happy to read anything through for you Sam

    Hamad. Top right picture reminds me off a quote I love; "A forest of trees is a spectacle too much for one man to see" Sam

    Does anyone sell simple carvings? Mushrooms, chairs etc? Im no-where near the Tommy Tree Carvers of this world but I can do a reasonable mushroom and seat. I have recently been using them as gifts (Cheap ) and quite a few people have said how good they look, how much they would like one etc. One of my Mothers friends payed me £25 for a mushroom out of pine I was so shocked I nearly said dont be silly, give us a tenner! Is that a normal price? Did I rip her off? Did she rip me off? What do you sell yours at? Do you think shops would buy them? Sorry for all the questions, just thinking it might be a reasonable little earner Thanks Sam
