Click on the `futurenergy turbines`,... and it goes to the 1kw turbine, we have gone for the 48v system.

If you are looking in AL... you are right the inverter is more expensive in 48v...Big Grin,... but by all accounts the 48v is said to be the best for what we want to do,.. see you Sat

1 x USMC non serrated Ka-Bar

Since I turned 18 I have been ordering lots of blades as you can see.

Just spotted this one.

2 very nice knives there sir.
And you can't beat the SFA! I love mine.
Bit of bees wax on the handle will stop it being quite so slippy in the wet.

Since I'm on summer holiday and I don't have my normal routine I've become pretty sleepless the last few weeks so at about 1 in the morning I tend to go for an hour walk (lovely and cool and quiet). I've taken to taking a notepad with me to jot down locations of useful resources/places around me. It's something I've been doing for some time but living in a city there is an incredible density of such things so it's taking me some time.
