Alcoholic screech. What’s the betting someone eats the powder and then runs around….. on tiktok.

A couple of emails have come out from Flexistove to get contact and delivery details of those who registered for up & pre-orders. The initial link didn’t work for everyone but you can contact them directly to confirm.

For some reason I thought the dragon egg had Velcro to stick organisers on the inside. I must have muddled it up with another bag. Nice to know the molle is decent. Not something you can always be sure if from an image.

Nice one Pattree. I go for the upside down m40 wind shield too. Not sure who told me about it though.

Latest communiqué from Flexistove. “The focus is now on materials, training, and shipping. Since our last update, we've moved into our new production space, conducted maintenance on our machines, and bought a new kettle. It’s getting serious… Materials: Today marks a significant milestone as...

Malice clips are solid. Might end up like this when undoing them though! It the pals webbing on your pouch/surface are not sewn snug then something like the Condor fabric loops might take up some of the slack as they are thicker.

Thank you for the info. I shall do some research on quality of hides. They pop up for £120+ but I assume that these may nor be the best.

Anyone tried Caribou/Reindeer? I’m curious but the hides are bloody pricey.

It’s balance and body mechanics for climbing/walking on steep ground. So the experts tell me. Depending on what you are doing I’d try to save weight on other items rather than the pack. For example moving through undergrowth and having open fires verses trail walking. Saying that...

Now I’ve got to look through the kit store. :eek:

Swimming toward “the chipper” on the Tweryn is fun. Feet first and bounce! I was told my throw bag technique resembled a drive by shooting. Whatever works I suppose!

https://www.divessi.com/en/blog/is-it-fun-a-40-meter-dive-in-the-sewage-sludge-of-a-digestion-tower-6799.html When to one of these jobs once. The local team were having issues. On arrival we noticed they were just using standard scuba gear. Wet suit, half mask and regulator. Never shook hands...

I do remember a BBC radio broadcast where the reporter called someone in Sweden to see how cold it was (might have been during the beast from the east) and wasn't very impressed when they replied -12C. They then clarified that was inside the house.

Hot water bottle. I usually have a Nalgene bottle that in colder weather I put hot water in after cooking my evening meal. I wrap it in something and stick it in the pit before bed. As has been said by others I go for quite a lot of ground insulation, i.e. cheap mat plus thick self inflating...
