Feature and dumb phones

I am looking to minimise my phone use and reliance and wouldn't mind getting a new phone that is super minimal. I think I could get on board with a simple Nokia brick style phone but there were a few ideas/priorities that you guys may be able to help out with, idk how best to phrase them though so I'm just gonna list them, any help/advice you can give would be great.

General:

- 4G, as I understand 2G is being phased out. UK providers.

- Maybe known to have good signal (I am in Wales, UK, and it's just rural enough for good signal to be an issue)

- enough storage for me to not have to worry about text storage limits etc.

- number pad is fine, small screen as well, I mainly want to minimise social media and staring at my phone so small interface is good

Camping:

I try to do a bit of camping and these properties would be great to have

- waterproof, maybe IP68

- long battery, would be great to be able to go away for a few days and not have to worry

- generally rugged

- any hiking/camping specific features like some GPS stuff would be amazing

Smart features that would be nice in a feature phone:

- Whatsapp, I do use this quite a bit for communication and it would be nice but I understand support has been dropped for KOS so perhaps this is no longer possible outside of smartphones

- Spotify is nice

Tldr: A modern 4G waterproof Nokia brick is great, some slightly smart features and apps would be good but not likely

Anybody know of anything close?

Thanks

Sexing and Biting

Truffle is about 6 months old and I didn't expect to know the sex until a year old or so but noticed what could be bulges, is this a male? Am I far too early?

And the big question is that this evening they started being territorial and biting, I handle them every day, what else should I be doing/trying? Any advice would be welcome, thanks

I love historical movies, and I think some of the clothes wouldn't be too out of place in a camping/hiking setting here in Wales, but I have no idea where to look to find anything similar. They're quite old movies, and I imagine they were custom-made for the film but I was wondering if anyone here would know how to find things close to these items.

The first is a shirt (or I guess more accurately a tunic) worn by Ondřej in the film The Valley of the Bees designed by Theodor Pištěk, I have tried looking for traditional Bohemian clothing but can't quite find anything close.

The second is this odd leather goat hat with ears worn by Kozlik in the film Marketa Lazarova, I am not too sure anything like this would be mass-produced, but I would love to find more information about it. I've hit a dead end a bit with this one.

Anyway, historical Bohemian clothing that, in the case of the shirt, I may be able to wear day-to-day without drawing too much attention, is something I would like to try, any any help would be appriciated.
