There seems to be misunderstanding, in what I'm saying This is about us as outdoors people. We are not criminals & I am not willing to be treated as such. There's a big difference between me with an axe & a mad axeman !!! The law & its enforcers, carry more weapons than me & appear more...

My point is this : I'm an outdoorsman, an axe, knife, is a tool to me. A weapon is used to hurt/cause pain/kill another. Therefore, what I own are tools. I have no intention to hurt/kill others. Now, let's look at the law !!! & its enforcers : Side handled baton - one purpose : to cause pain...

I'm up near the Cairngorms I have a Gränsfors small forest axe, timber wolf Blazzin & Skinner I've seen guys in full tree cams & welly boots & allsorts in local Tes*o supermarket & it appears normal If I'm hiking for a week, I need my hardwear !!!! Firewood, camp jobs, lunch, etc ...

Hi from Scotland too !!! Welcome, I use a Berghaus Vulcan & us Alice combo !!! Can leave Vulcan in hammock carry water & bits in webbing !!! J

Hi Welcome yank !!! :) Common sense knows no boundries !!

Indeed My journey dictates my pack - long over 7 days : Berghaus Vulcan Under 7 dayus - Savotta !!! (no connection) rangershop.de has some nice packs !!! & 100L for €50 is good !!! J

Try a US Alice pack Cheap & fairly roomy !! Medium or large With bits to attatch other kit to - & should last

I do long hikes & Berghaus Vulcan in size 3 (for my size) is best Or try a Savotta LJK for a real mans pack !!!!! :) & they last 2-4 generations, made in Finland by those who know ......

Hi I'd opt for Berghaus Vulcan - simply select its size based on your size Bombproof, comfy & carries heaps !!!! & will last yearrrrrrrs !!!!! :) J

A Savotta - the LJK - will last 2/3 or even 4 generations of user, they are made in Finland by people who know & care bout what they do They're not made cheap in the far east !!!! They are worth the expense & should you damage it (high unlikely) they will more than likely fix it :) An LJK...
