Hey there. Yes I have looked around at some of the military surplus offerings. Noticed a few differences and read reviews and been realizing there is a lot to consider. No zippers, Velcro closure, zippers let alone the sizes and temperatures used in. Thank you for your suggestions.

Yes I have picked up the Medium sleeping bag from the British Modular Sleeping system. Copy of the Defence 4 Carinthia. Also picked up another USGI Patrol Bag from the MSS. Looking for an Intermediate Cold weather bag to try with the Patrol Bag. Possibly looking to get a Surplus Bivy bag as...

Hello there. Just placed my order for the British Forces Medium weight 200cm bag. Was waiting to hear back from a UK shop as they have their British kits are cheaper cost but they didn’t get back to be on alternative shipping possibilities as their Postal rates or courier rate was the same price...

Lmao just looking for something functional. Seen the version with the detachable rubber cover. Seen it here at a surplus shop for $150 now marked down to $120. Seems pricey to me and just looking for other options. Not terribly wanting to have one just looking for camping gear. Have seen the...

Hello there. Looking at the Carinthia line of sleeping bags. Seen a model called the Explorer Top MF used by Danish Forces. It is a summer bag available in XL size. To me it looks a lot like the Defence 1 bag. Weather resistant outer covering with the Gloft synthetic filling. Would like to know...

Yes I have had some great gear purchases. Just recently ordered the M59 winter parka with liner. Nice thick cotton jacket with heavy button in liner. NOS surplus M59 tall civil defence winter boots sized 2 sizes to big for extra socks are great boots. Got a cobbler to stitch a commando style...

I imagine that is fine foul weather gear. The ones I have found are the linen or cotton canvas type camo and grey cloth type. Have two used camo and one unused grey with two more used ones in the Post. Looks promising as a falltime shelter.

Seen a Swedish Review of their 1970’s 8 Man Patrol tent and apparently in the 80’s a lot of the tents were modified to be able to erect next to a tree like the Hawu tents. Quite the flexible design.
