Right,
Off out in the shed to sort out the leaks in the BP's!!

I'm fairly sure it's down to leaks in the inlet and outlet pipe joints.  Going to put some jubelee clips on em all.  Then maybe adjust the pressure switches.................................


We'll see : : : :

Like I said,
A classic textbook example of transference. Groundhog are you sure you didnt participate in the casestudy for the aforementioned book?

Step 1:
Make a personal attack on someone else and demean or belittle their opinions or feelings.

"Sounds like a crap book to me Id stick to the Beano"

Step 2:
Once a personal slight has been made on the said individual use the opportunity to try to validate and excuse our behaviour

"Anyway I was only answering the mans question"

Step 3:
Once we feel validated and excused we now have opportunity to make statements of our own inflated self worth.

"My dads hard, just like me."

Step 4: (optional) This step is usually taken if an idividual is worried or not confident enough in their ability to deal with any retaliation to steps 1,2, or 3. An effort to effectively "close the door" on any further discussion on the subject is made.

"Game, set and match to groundhog"

I found It very interesting you found it neccessary not only to go ahead and take step 4 but to make that statement in a completely new post.

Great use of English BVC    you are making a complete tw#t of yourself!!! Take my advice and don't believe everything you read!!!   And as I said before I'd stick to the Beano if I were you!!! and by the way way my Dad is hard just like me!! and once again Game Set & Match to Groundhog!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;

[Village Gleam]

Interesting BVC, i expect we all do this transference. What annoys me is when people project. Ie. he must be stealing with all that cash about, or she's a looker and bound to be playing away. What they really mean is they would in those situations.
I'm  anti back packs and barrels. Whichever side of the divide we are, i'm sure we are all busy transfering away merrily, it's just that groundhog and me feel we do the job properly.(we don't transfer using barrels).

I have read all of this now (only just had the time). I am a backpack user and would not change. My van mount only comes out when absolutely necessary. I too have a similar problem to Dave with it running all the time. It is a pain. So when you have it sorted Dave please let me know.

As for benefits over the van mount there are too many IMO. I think it is very short sighted and provocative to slight someone elses working method. groundhog you have your preferences and thats fine, for you! I have mine and so does Dave so thats fine too. We all have different working methods and should all be respected not slated!

I don't often retaliate to postsput on here as I think most people just antagonise for fun but this one just got my back up so I felt I had no choice.

As for 25kg on my back. It is nothing! I can still climb over gates, walls etc even when it is full. It is what you get used to!

Only thing now is I do need a new strap/pad for the back. Any ideas Dave!

I will finish by saying that I actually spoke to Dave before I bought my backpack and what a top man with top advice. It is good when people give up their time to speak to you with no gain just out of courtesy.

So I would suggest Ground hog that you crawl back to where your name suggests!!

Rant over!!

Try telling that to an Osteopath!!! 

[Spursboy1972]

I have no back problems at all. As I said you should keep your blinkered opinions to yourself! A discussion is where people listen and not antagonise. You only seem able to do the latter!

[BVC]

Groundhog
Thanks for pointing out my mistake, what I have done is, (being a mature adult)  taken note of the fact, that no, I am not perfect and not always right. That given, when presented with evidence of my mistakes or failures I take action to try to rectify them. I have therfore gone back to my post and corrected it.

Maybe you should try doing the same.

By the way, there is no book, I completely made it up, to be honest I dont even know what cognitive restructuring is, I just heard it on the telly. I also actually quite enjoy reading the beano when I come across a copy. Although growing up I actually read the Dandy.

 I just felt you were overstepping the mark and being a little out of order and as no-one was bringing it to your attention I thought I would wind you up a little in my own way. seems to have worked as you have finally been reduced to calling me a tw*t.   

Anyway, friends now?

Not yet maybe, but give it a few years of carrying 20+kgs on your back all day and you will guaranteed!!! maybe then you will wish you had listened to my advice!!

I think doing anything repetitive day in day out over several years will give you future problems. Whether it be driving, pen pushing, building or poleing. I try to look after myself regardless of whether I have a specific complaint. I see my osteopath every month, 35 quid well spent I think. Just my opinion.

I have a prolapsed spine and started  backpacking 10 years ago, excercise of any sort is the magic bullet for any back problem.
It's also faster and earns me more money. ££££££

Well next time you visit your Osteopath, ask him his opinion to someone carrying 20+kgs on their back all day, every working day. And see what he says!
 

[Spursboy1972]

Groundhog. You don't know me or my physical stats. So you have no idea about how I can or cannot cope with 25 kgs on my back! it is only that weight for a very short time. Bottom line is I prefer this method and you prefer yours. Why can't you leave things like that instead of acting like a complete to**er. As I said you only seem out to wind people up and I have no time for people like that.

One day you will wish that you had listened to me, mark my words!!! I'm not winding you up, I am giving sound advice, it's up to you whether you want to take that advice or not.

Sorry to hear the cognitive transfer was an invention. I'm still sure we all do it though.I think many of our posts often reveal more about ousrselves than we are aware. This is the best thread i've ever seen about backpacks by the way.

[BVC]

Sorry to dissapoint Mr Solubility, but it was going to take something with a little imagination to distract and get our little groundhog out of his hole and start biting.

Hi All PROPER Backpack users
(Groundhog EXCLUDED)

Well, after just about stripping my little baby to pieces I eventually found that the pressure switch had failed to work : This was caused by a leak in the diaphragm behind the switch itself that pushes the switch.  So a new pump was the only option.

The new pump is fitted now and she runs like a purring cat 

Thanks
David

Groundhog,
Just wondering, as you think backpacks are rubbish can I have yours? I will even pay the postage.
