Yes, it is nearly sold out. Just a few East German milsurp shops still sell it.

In the eighties we still found the needed equipment of military or civil origin at flee markets, but somehow the market for such things dried up. It doesn't have to be the case in your area, but I stopped watching out in Germany. I still found usefull equipment at French flea markets though. I...

Paul Kirtley packs a slightly smaller but very similar rucksack here in the video below. I find my recommendation more practical but one can of course also do it like this: Paul Kirtley's blog is a very good source, by the way.

That was 2019 a good recommendation but the list is outdated because the items became expensive or aren't longer available: https://bushcraftuk.com/community/threads/low-budget-equipment-2019.152469/ Nevertheless surely informative to read through it.

So, I copy for you here now an older kit list that shows you how you can pack all the stuff and what you need to put together. Most things can be improvised in the beginning or forever. There is always a cheaper solution and something you can get for free. But as I noticed, the problem is...

https://www.bcbin.com/Catalogue/Products/Outdoor-Adventure/Outdoor-Cooking/Waterbottle-Mug One can get this British army bottle also used in most military surplus shops. Take only the original Osprey bottle, not the copy! You need two of them and they fit perfectly into the water bottle pouch...

That's the best pot in my opinion. https://heinnie.com/pathfinder-bush-pot-and-lid-set-1-8l You can make a bag for it from an old trousers leg, or take a plastic bag from the supermarket , a nylon draw string bag or whatever to keep it away from your other equipment if it got dirty outside if...

The Dutch closed cell foam roll mat was designed for winter use. It's idiot proof and serves well in all weather conditions. https://www.endicotts.co.uk/collections/sleep-mats/products/dutch-sleep-mat-olive-green?variant=42715717402785 There is a bag for it on the market that I would try to...

You can have your individual preferences if you have the needed experience. If you have no idea where to start you need recommendations where to get good equipment for a sensible price. And if you start with military surplus you can sell it later for approximately the same price if you like...

Yes, that's right. Choose what you like and count on the search and rescue teams. Or what?

https://www.strikeforcesupplies.co.uk/index.php?method=stock&id=20316 The warmer version might be the better choice for the beginning if you find a good offer. But that's OK for the summer. Take the large one if you aren't short...

I recommend you to buy this rucksack below. It's large enough to fit in all you need, it's robust, very well adjustable and over all a very intelligent construction. And that's a very good offer here...

Starter kit for the adult man: Box of Matches Bic lighter in orange Victorinox Climber or better Compact Plastic bottle of mineral water from the supermarket Sandwich

If you have just plants in a terrarium or bottle, why not? But I wouldn't lock anyone into such a little box, doesn't matter which species.

Yes, wearing NVA uniforms in the rain you are even invisible. :D For a dog walk in the rain I would look for a British Navy Goretex jacket. The point is that the uniform has to get displaced to be seen as a piece of civil clothing. If you wear a Navy jacket in Portsmouth they think you are a...

No, we have enough of rain here too. And as I mentioned before in another thread, I once worked for half a year together with a Scot in a gardening enterprise. I didn't understand him and he didn't understand me. That's why I would rather stay in England if I would visit Britain. :biggrin...

Some Swedish green uniform jackets were surely meant seriously but they look so weird and old fashioned that they are rather funny than militaristic.

Carinthia clothing is also available in black and alpine grey. Most of it is surely too warm for England though. The old plain green German trousers are still made by Leo Köhler and also in black. But they don't dry. German army tropical underwear is coyote brown and very good, available used...

I have seen it somewhere in a museum, decades ago.
