Looks good Is this for something special or just for fun?

I use a mesh system too. 3 mains powered units, one plugged into the router, one in the last room of the house facing the back garden and the other in the workshop 30m away at the bottom of the garden. Not had a issue

Hi Sam There are already courses from many providers offering various levels of wilderness medic training from stubbing a toe all the way up to doctor on Everest. A quick google search should help

Kydex is easy to get hold of - perhaps have a go yourself? I've made a few sheaths over the years from kydex Heat up under the grill and press into shape using some old foam mat cut the size. Best to use some form a heat resistant mat between the kydex and the sleeping mat though as it's not...

I can't see this happening. Can you imagine how popular any government would be if they culled horses?!

If you're putting a fair amount of force and pressure through the handle you might be better off getting 2 separate handles and making it so the head of the tool is interchangeable?

So M10 or M12 size? You can get threaded bar and internal threaded bar or a few nuts welded together. Is it a permanent join or intended to be packed down?

Craghoppers are good. I've taken them to the jungle and cold climates as well as UK. Performed very well. If your pockets are a bit deeper brands like Rab or Rohan also do options I think.
