Hi Corso, Seems to be working just fine tonight. Just had a look & some good gear there - Some on sale too.

Beat me to it. Thanks a lot :)

Thanks Jim. I'll look for the website.

Actually I like the look of both desert & the green patterns. As for the Walt/MOP side of it, well I did my time & trust surplus kit from that experience. Am sure there is better "less-green" kit about but to be frank, I'd rather pay less for something I know I can trust. (Hadn't heard the...

Great idea. Thanks :)

True, and as I posted in the first message, I'm a big feller so shopping by "weight" is not easy, hence looking for fabric to make it here. Also with the different measurement methods, it's like measuring a litre by degrees C from this end. Like cooking a stew & wanting a "3kg pot". Just...

Hi guys, On the TW Hammocks, any idea of the loads on them? Most of my hammocks have been US built & they give a weight load on them but I can't seem to see them on the TM web page. Last thing I want to do is to get all comfy & end up with my head in my rear by being too heavy for it...

Hi Rob, I'll take it if you've not moved it yet?
