Got a lanshan 1, among others!! Never ask a man how many tents he has! I've used it for 2 weeks wild camping in the cairngorms, fair mix of autumn weather, including rain and some strong winds. However strongest winds I've had it in is in the Peak District, above Jacobs ladder in howling wind...

As said, various makes but Aku are popular looks more like a traditional hiking boot. All these are referred to as High liability combat boots Sent from my VOG-L29 using Tapatalk

To be honest I never knew there was an OP version, which is what we must have had. It felt absolutely palacial after the issue 58 pattern poncho. Putting my jelly bean tarp next to a 58 poncho, theres about 10 inches in length and width difference in favour of the Aussie one. I had my Aussie OG...

Yes Tom the old Aussie plain green bashas were issued to us in Belize in the 1980s.i have a modern jelly bean camo one and it definitely feels smaller than I remember the OG versions Sent from my VOG-L29 using Tapatalk

Hi I'll take the smock if available, cheers mark

The camo is Danish I believe. Looks Artkis to me. I had one in DPM and that version is geared towards " sniper ' , shooting use. Shooting pads in shoulders, nylon attachment strips for natural foliage , pockets on the rear hip to access things like binos when in a prone position . Also has a...

17 for me please

I had one of the later SASS smocks, in sand colour. It did work very similar to Ventile, a tightly woven cotton that swelled to stop further water ingress. It didn't stiffen up like ventile when wet, though. Sold it on the bay, fetched a decent price, but not £499! The material was from an...

Another vote for the Zephyros 2, light, surprisingly roomy and not a bad place to be holed up in in bad weather.

As Widu13 said, the MTP ones do seem to be cut as per regular sizeing. The pair I had fitted well in the waist, but were to 'slim fitting' for comfort. Need to size up ( and wear a belt!!)

Hi, in truth, the windproof trousers are intended as over-trousers, over long johns and/or the old padded trousers ( AKA 'Ho Chi Minh trousers'). The originals, going back to WW2 and up to and including the DPM versions, are made of cotton Gaberdine, so are very comfortable against the skin. I...

Hi Neil, what is the actual pit to pit measurement on the ventile smock, ta.

Second the Chocolate Fish stuff. Mountain-biked the Peddars way recently and was absolutely soaked to the skin, amazingly, still warm core wearing a Chocolate Fish short-sleeved top under my leaking Gore-tex jacket. Dried out pretty quick when the sun came out later in the day , with absolutely...

We have exactly that tent, great bit of kit and a nice space to live in. Legalities aside of camping a whole year on a site, but on a practical not, good idea on raising the floor area. Also, you will need to re-proof the tent , probably after 3 months or so. We have a frontier stove, which...

Just bought some 'Tenacious Tape' which is pricey, just unbder a fiver for about 50cm or so, but brilliant stuff, and well worth carring a strip in your EDC stuff. Its clear, so its not obvious when you do a repair, its paper-backed, so a piece can be folded like a bank note and put in your...

Arrived safely today, superb knife and thanks for a quick turnaround, Kram

I picked some sloes last month and on one bush they were really plump, almost like black grapes. I put it down to good growing conditions for all fruit this year. My guess they are sloes, have you tried a taste test?

Relum was a British sports company. They are obviously made for the UK Civvy outdoor market, probably late 50's/60's I should think. Looks decent quality.
