    Army vehicles on the road

    Same thing I think Mike - Basically a high roof white transit with 9 seats. The back bit is a normal van split in half with a partition so you can carry equipment in a safe area. Great for AT etc.

    HELP - Ticks everywhere

    Not much you can do I'm afraid - I had a similar situation a few years ago, where I was literally brushing them off my trousers. I think all you can do is cover up followed by regular inspections along with trying to avoid long foliage (none of these things are easy in summer). I guess you...

    Army vehicles on the road

    Sorry, that's nonsense. If you're on a duty journey over a meal period (or five hours) than you can claim Subsistence Allowance. Buy food & then claim it back. Most of the guys are in 50/50 vans these days, certain more comfortable and probably safer.

    Rucksacks that are made in the UK or Ireland?

    I think it might depend on the size - mine is 45 + 10 and has one but I'm not sure about the smaller packs. The Aiguille Alpine packs are better designed than the Scottish Mountain Gear ones so are more comfy for bigger loads etc. Probably best to work out what size you need and go from there.

    Rucksacks that are made in the UK or Ireland?

    No they don't which I think is a real shame with these packs. I've had three or four 'Cuillins' over the years and they are simple and robust. The back is a fairly standard size so it's worth looking around for an old internal frame you can cut out of an old rucksack, Ive done this a few times...

    Buffalo Mountain Shirt - Pack size?

    Pile is pretty bulky but it does compress a little bit. I have got my medium Buffalo jacket into a 3 litre dry sack but its a real squeeze so I would say the 5 litre dry bag is the better option. The Montane and Buffalo are like chalk and cheese - the Montane is just a jacket where as the...

    Open fires in Scotland not allowed ?

    I'm in agreement with the others - I can understand your befuddlement to the fire season answer, however its actually totally correct. Scotland has a slightly later growing season than the rest of the UK (particularly in mountainous areas) correspondingly there tends to be an awful lot of...

    Ive a hankering for a new axe, Les Stroud Bushmans axe???

    I didn't get on with the Bushman. For me it falls into the same trap as the SFA in being a bit big for fine work and a bit small for heavier jobs. I feel the SFA performs better for finer work, sure the Bushman is a better splitter but I couldn't do any fine work with it at all and I could still...
