I think the point of a PSK was the minimum a soldier needed to survive and the reason it was in that tin format was you could keep it in a combat trouser pocket so it gave you the option of dumping everything to make a run for it. Lofty's version I think has the same idea it just got more in it...

I agree with a lot that has been said in that I think a PSK and EDC are the minimum you can survive with and that does change with location most of the time.

A Rough Rider Mini Canoe - always A SAK Huntsman Most of the time A Rough Rider Canoe - some of the time A Leatherman Charge (?) - with good reason (normally because I am cycling)

Are they not Zombie swords? The one in the top article must be at least 2 foot long. All of the kids by me seem to go round dressed like wannabe ninjas. I highly recommend Talking to Strangers: What We Should Know About the People We Don’t Know by Malcolm Gladwell as it has some stuff about the...

BBC - Zombie Knives Not sure why they are on about Zombie knives as from the description they were stopped and had fixed blades on them with no good reason. The 2 knifes shown are Kombat branded knifes so not sure I would class them as covered by the Zombie law. That said I would be even more...

Just re-read thread and saw recipes on page 11. Thanks John.

Nice looking stools. What is your recipe for home made beeswax polish?

Might want to check out - “I Fought With Custer: The Story of Sergeant Windolph, Last Survivor of the Battle of the Little Big Horn” and “Wooden Leg: A Warrior Who Fought Custer”, by Thomas Marquis

One of the interesting things that NockOn does in the first lesson is just shooting the target to start with. Get your form right and then start looking for accuracy. You could also try the paper plate system from Blackie Thomas. Basically you shoot 3 arrows into a paper plate and then move it...

Thanks I wondered if it was something along those lines.

Carbs are the big bang from an energy point of view and easier to transport. Raw meat can be really bad for your health.

Do you know if there any information on length vs width vs height? Just wondered if they had designed the perfect transport canoe. Also Ray in one of his shows has his canoe on an edge when paddling it and I wondered what that did to speed etc?

I loved SWAT it was brilliant most of the time. I might have some of your articles Laurentius as I had some of John Fenna's. I have 2 A4 folders full of them. I also have the diary they did one year.

Buy one of the army sleep systems. I use a (Dutch?) bivvy bag, a tiny vango mummy bag and a liner which seems to work well however no idea what the temp drop it has gone to is. Also check what you sleep on as that where the cold is coming from.

LOL true! Cargo trousers are in fashion at the moment however finding a brand that fits you is a nightmare. I would love to meet the person they are modelled from as my knees are in a much different position to theirs. On a different thread, Broch was recommending Percussion beaters/hunting...

Makes sense just never heard of them before. The canoes I have been in required motivation to flip them. Kayaks on the other hand the current can tip and racing kayaks are worse.

I find hat choice a really pain! My go to is a cotton large brimmed affair however if I think there is going to be rain a baseball cap becomes the choice. Plus I always have a beanie of some description. I might Savage law a flat cap in place of the base ball cap for a more adult look.

I think we need more information? My go to is a Regatta anorak which was about £80 and is waterproof. I like the layer system so warm and breathable are handled by other layers. Greencraft on youtube has a good series on bushcraft on a budget.

Tailored fit trousers... I have no idea who they are sized for? Also they are advertised by footballers so I apparently have more developed calves than a professional athlete! I think there is a big problem with so called fast fashion and quality.

Really curious as to why?
