    Ussen thermals?

    Saying "soldier's are wearing our kit" doesn't necessarily mean they supplied the MOD on a contractual basis, we had a few bits of clothing and gear given to us to take away, giving feed back to the manufacturer who was normally a friend of someone or other.

    Pocket Tarp

    I can attest to the water repellency of this material. I lived under my 3x3 tarp made by Bilmo for a few weeks in total last year.

    Bushcrafty films on Netflix

    If you change the device that you watch netflix on's dns to 146.185.187.189 you'll be able to watch a lot of more. :) it enables you to get the US version. A mile,mile and a half is a great doc about walking the John Muir trail.

    I've been robbed :(

    Did they give you a crime number? If not complain to your MP, the local highest police officer, areas crime commissioner, also complain to the opposition MP to the current incumbent, they will be looking for things to jump on at the mo. I would guess your insurance would require a crime number...

    Pimping tarp and hammock suspension

    I use a couple of dutch flyz on the ridge line purely because I've used zingit for the ridge as it's strong and stupidly light, even with the flyz it's ligjter than any line I've used, but if i hadn't used a string that is tosh to tie knots with i would still tie knots. :)
