Both good packs. The Sabre was based on the old Karrimor Alpinste the Centurio more like an updated Munro. Not much between them really. I think given the option the Sabre is probably the slightly better pack - Foogs is correct about the waist strap. I would go for the Sabre.

Different types of x-country ski. Are they normal skis but with a ‘free heal’ for going up hill or white NATO ‘planks’ with a cable binding or are they thin and take a 3 pin ‘Nordic Norm’ which is more like a lightweight boot with a tongue on the front? Pics would help

Any takers on the windshirt? Thanks

Jumper sold.

Message send buddy.

Sorry about that - 22” or 56 cm on the Mardale pile top.

Mardale windshirt size M £20 posted.

The Bushcraft Store and Pathfinder mug both work well. The Bushcraft store mug is slightly better as the bale is attached and the measurement graduations are stamped. Worth looking at a Swiss M71 to go with it for a lightweight brew kit and you can make a nice windbreak from heavy weight foil...

Thanks - depends on condition and size / price. Send me a msg and if you have trade ideas. Cheers

Interested in selling / trading?

Hi folks, I’m after a lightweight hot tent such as the One Tigris Smokey hut or Iron Wall. Anyone got one they’re looking to move on. Might have some stuff to trade or sale. Thanks Ed

£50 is more realistic for the aluminium version you have. EBay listed prices aren’t always what things sell for, if you look under the sold filter £40-£60 seems to be the current price.

I’ve got the set, I even had an old Slumberdown liner for a bit. If I sleep without clothing I tend to find the system cold, it seems to work better wearing base layers. This differs (for me) to other down and synthetic bags. I don’t really use the Pertex liner I either just use the inner or the...

A good combination for 1 is a nested bottle / cup, 10 or 12 cm billy and small frying pan with a lid. This set up work well with an open fire or camping stoves and allows you to drink whilst cooking a good variety of dishes. The Pathfinder range offers all the above. The French have a new non...

Berghaus Munro. Had it about 15 years and it’s starting to show its age a bit now. I’ve a Centurio too so I’ll probably donate the Munro to my daughter who has joined the Air Cadets.

Ray Mears’ - Outdoor Survival Handbook is broken down into seasonal activities. It’s a good read and I think it fits in with the question you are asking.

Any chance of some pictures?

I’ve had both but now own neither! The Roc pockets have a stiff plastic backing with a molded loop for the side strap, they fit the Munro too. The SMG pockets lack the backing and it’s a tunnel of fabric to put the strap through. IIRC the spacing isn’t correct so you could use them but it won’t...

Might be worth having a look at Aguille Alpine www.aiguillealpine.co.uk - Their bags are very high quality and they have various back sizes to suit. SF 45 has some adjustment but it depends on how tall you are - as they only offer one size.

I travel a lot so use Outdooractive which is absolutely brilliant. Basically complete OS mapping plus lots of extras depending on what package you go for. I get it free as a MR volunteer but I think I would get it anyway even if I didn’t. I still carry and use a paper map and compass and use OS...
