Where can I buy goose fat?

[Stig-OT-Dump]

Tomorrow's job is in a canal - fresh water is always colder than sea water - and the forecast temperature is -12C. I just hope that someone else gets picked to go in the water first, although it might just be warmer underwater than it is on the bank.

The nearest Waitrose is 180 miles away - I don't think that'll work.

Most supermarkets and butchers seem to sell it these days. 'In a canal' What is it that you do ?

Tomorrow it is salvaging a motor cruiser that sank at its moorings.
Next week working on some pipelines crossing a sea loch and then moving onto a jetty inspection.

I think Tesco, Asda, and Sainsburys all do it.

Do you not have dry suits? You can use them fully clothed, bung it on over your winter woollens and you will be fine.

Anyway is there something that states that you shouldn't be going in the water at all if its - something. You have every right to refuse.

Oh and when I worked as a ranger on the Grand Western Canal in Tiverton, the guys I worked with wouldn't go in the water without dry suits on even in the hot summer we had in 2005.

 

[Stig-OT-Dump]

It'll be drysuit or hot water suit, and a cup of tea poured into the gloves too. Maybe even something wrapped roung the regulators / reducers to stop them from freezing (and a wee dose of HTFU). I just hope the A9 back to Glasgow stays clear / open so I can get home for the weekend.

I saw some in ASDA around Christmas.

Where are you working tomorrow, S-OT-D ?

... and pardon my iggorance but for what is the goosefat ? Rubbing on hands to keep freezing cold at 'just' cold ?

I would have thought it might be so cold that the regulators could freeze = not good !!!

For detailed advice like that, you should be charging...
