I have 4 pairs of these trousers and they are brilliant, but they do come up large I am normlly a 33-34in and purchased the 34in initially and had to send them back as they were to large in the waist but 32in fitted me perfectly.

As you have had lots of views with no advice yet I thought I start the ball rolling, for sleeping under a basha in this country I reccomend the following. A good insulating mat which could be a self inflating or foam type, choice is yours but personally I would go for self inflating as they...

That's right the coatings are all the same just different colours but I would say the green colour shows the wear less as I have a black Esee 5 and a Green Esee 3 which shows the marks less.

Sheath arrived today and it fits my Becker BK2 perfectly, many thanks. Stuart

Hope so the first one was brilliant

Sounds like a plan, I am in.

Did well this year the family got me a GSI stainless steel water bottle and matching mug Mountain equipment gortex gaiters and a new MTP bivvi bag. Just need a weekend off to try them out.

I think we need a saw and axe try out camp some time soon, eh Ivan

Brilliant weekend the boys were on form and a great time was had around the camp fire, well done to Ivan for organising this one. Regards Dave (CAPS LOCK) Stuart Aka Patrols

Sorry folks I will swot up and try again, watch this space!

Kit sorted and ready to pack, bring it on!

I would go for the best sleeping mat you can afford and if you have any cash left over get a fleece sleeping bag liner, this should give you a good nights sleep as you will be insulated from the cold ground and a liner should give you another season at least to your sleeping bag.

These are good jackets they breath well and if you use the pit zips you should not overheat, the only problem I have encountered is in heavy rain you will wet out with water running down your neck as they dont have a hood.

Hi Ivan, Due to a changes at work I now have next weekend off, :D is there room for one more on this I supply my own ration pack if you are running short of them. Stu

Nice pictures, looks like you have had a great summer as well, fancy a get together and a few beers.

I use a Camelbak BFM brilliant rucksack and comes with a hydration system as well, not the cheapest but within your budget and will carry heavy weights with comfort colours are similar to the Karramor range.

You have a PM re this.
