The "norm" here for wilderness people is the 8/9" samekniv blade and wouldnt raise to many eyebrows especially in the bush. Just dont whip it out in urban/camping/outdoor huts enviroments ;) Use what youre most comfortable and safest with for safe happy bushcrafting. I`d get a tough waterproof...

Hi Been following Dave Canterbury on youtube, and he amongst others recomends stainless steel bottle for cooking in. Dual purpose with a little added weight, and they mate with the Vango/Alpkit mugs... After alot of googling, the wide mouth Primus ss bottle seemed the most bang for the buck...

Can anyone try this with some 4mm bungees and hooks/mini biners? http://www.lifesystems.co.uk/psec/mosquito_nets/geonet_mosquito_net.htm# without the poles of course? Outdoorsmagic forums has a hex 3 thread with some prototypes.

Thanks :) Its not one of the lightest packs on the market, but definetly one of the toughest http://www.backpacker.com/gear-guide-april-2010-toughest-gear-arcteryx-bora-backpack/gear/14082 Having orthopedic issues, I dream about insoles made by the foam Arcteryx uses in its packs... Its...

I recommend you take a look at ArcTeryx Bora 80. Colors Grey and blue are discontinued so they`re half price... Since youre tall you may get lucky finding one at this bargain. Look up USMC ILBE if youre interested in info on the carrying system. Cant see any difference in the carrying...

Still have the Alpkit PD 800? Best regards Stein-Otto Josefsen

Cheers! Their Ally Canoes(sp?) are world known for their quality, ease of repair and usefulness. All products are made in China now, they`ve had some QC problems before, but seems to have got on top of this years back. Their outer fabric was used(membrane less) in the Arctic Ocean 2000...

Been pondering about if you applied the greenland wax on a damp garment using an iron if the breathability would improve? (mountain man gore tex? :umbrella: )

Really like the look of this Anorak! Traditional design, and the fabric should be pretty hard wearing. Wondering about the hood. It seems it could easily be modified by putting a wire in it, and sewing velcro around the edges one could attatch(sp?) fur and have a good winter smock...

Their Myti mug is infantry proof, extremly handy, light and durable. Bought the Hunka and the Wee Airic last week. Such quality and service per £ makes me a returning customer! :You_Rock_

Something very lightweight while balanced, easily sharpened (soft steel), and a good handle (grip tape?) Only used a 9" laplander, not big machetes but then again very versatile(sp?) and easy to work with. Good luck on your purchase!

Patagonia puff jacket size XL :D , bargain -60% off, replaces my H&H pile jacket while being more versatile. New windproof desert dpm smock, bargain 15£ delivered, If i like it I`ll copy it in ventile and dye it black. Soon to be hobo :D

My 9" Proper laplander http://www.karport.no/cgi-bin/kp/imaker?id=5349&visdybde=2&aktiv=5349 It won`t raise as many eyebrows or maybe chop as good but then again a Khukri is sexay. Wonder whats the best 8-9" khukri around? 600grams is tops of what i want to carry. Found this...

Sorry `bout the hijack but anyone tried these? http://www.alpkit.com/colab/develop/bleat/ 50/50 blend should be good for durability, ability to dry out.

Np, had alot of good times in lavvos! :beerchug: :naughty:

Cheers m8! Bison Tinde 8 Large, solid and simple lavvo. A bit heavy and high/tall. Is also available as 3-, 4- and 16 mans edtion. Large dooropening , solid plugs. Guy lines slack a bit, missing high guy lines ( comes p 2006- the edition ). Good pack bag. A little condensation, but the...

Fast translation, while gf is watching Doc Marting at telly... Any of the Lavvo tests you want translated? Sorry for the bad grammar/spelling, but better than the translation engine. Test: Lavvo is the traditional tent, developed through hundreds year amid the Sami at Nordkalotten...

Wow, awesome pics m8! Glad to hear its roomy enough for a puff jacket. It looks like that jacket sure gives the Recon a run for its money. Excellent review, 10/10 points! Hope you manages to wear it out adventuring outdoors!

Looks great! Some nitpicking from a gear freak... Anychance for a picture of it fully zipped(how much does the collar cover your face)? Does that zipper snag your beard? How is the hood? As good as a Norrøna one? Pic? All those seams doesnt make it leaky? Close up piccy? The...

Good idea! The only downside of Event is its abrasion durability have I heard. Are you going to wear the Ventile in town or in the bush/wilderness? Make it long so you can use it as a walking jacket, arctic anojacket and wilderness jacket.
