Just received my new in-the-bag old stock "JACKET, COMBAT MVP, DDP", from Strikeforce Supplies Ltd. That is an unissued British Army desert camo 'army goretex' jacket, which will be a lot better for my fishing on rainy days than my short, leaky 15 year old Berghaus :)

I would also like to report good service from Jasper at Strikeforce, including a quick turnaround when I ordered 200/128 size which turned out massively (!) big, and then swapped it for a far better fitting 190/120 version.

Cheers, Bob
there only a few miles from me, I have shopped there myself seems a decent guy Jasper.
I was in Warminster other day, got a nice synthetic wool jumper, would kind of like a proper wool barbour one but its about £90

Couldn't help it. No, it really wasn't my fault at all. There I was lying in my bed with the mother of all man flus, coughing, aching everywhere , sweating and then cold shivers for hours........and looking for something to make me feel better. Did I go for drugs? Nope. But I ordered this in my feverish mind. Well it came today and im still in bed.....

A TBS Boar folding knife with curly birch scales and a leather case, a Lansky deluxe sharpening kit + stand and a huge 12cm ferrocium rod.
The TBS knife is even better than I hoped for, the curly birch scales look great and it'll be perfect as an edc pocket knife.

Sitka gutter-shape wood carver's adze blade ( www.Kestreltool.com ).
The western red cedar log is in the back yard and I have birch to make the elbow and haft the
blade. Not my first one. Need 5-6 weeks for delivery.
PS The design of the big Stubai adze is really poor.

I'm a retired paramedic and used to keep mineon a piece of oxygen mask elastic anchored to my jacket. Sort of hi tec ranger cord. It would break my heart to loose shears like that. Nice gear !
They are really well made I was looking for just good shears (I'm just a humble first aider) and just got tempted by these and the other features it has, and there innocuous enough for the car and work, they have good first aid kits at work but really crap shears

I just bought a Hennessy hammock with the insulation. That was a BIG purchase but they got a sale on right now and this is the last day. I had to take a deep breath before clicking that 'buy' button but hopefully that hammock will set me up for a good time to come.
