    what is the best way to pack a backback for hiking and camping

    I've seen a lot written about this, and to be honest, there is only the way that is correct for you. It also depends on the pack you're using. I pack my LK70 frame pack differently to my Sabre 45 and so on. Generally, though, I follow what you might call a "Packing matrix" for my gear. Spare...

    Sold Pathfinder canteen

    I can, but you would have to wait until after I get back from the Moot for me to post it, plus the additional postage cost would have to be factored in. I'm currently in Saudi Arabia, and I'm flying home, picking up my daughter and my camping kit and driving straight to Wales.

    Sold Pathfinder canteen

    I'm gauging some interest here. I've got a Pathfinder S/S canteen set and MOLLE pouch that is surplus to requirements. I upgraded to the Ti version, so the stainless one is just sitting in a box. Does anyone want to take it off my hands at the Moot? I'm flying back to the UK for it in a couple...

    Gerber Ultimate or Prodigy ?

    I’ve got one of the BG knives, I’ve abused it for years now and it’s stil in decent condition. Ok, it doesn’t hold the best edge, but it’s entirely serviceable. Surprisingly comfortable in the hand too.

    USAF Survival Knife.

    Work(sharp) in progress… I’m playing with my new Worksharp precision sharpener. It’s doing quite a good job so far. I’m a bit worried about the wear on the coarsest grit plate, but I can get replacement plates from Worksharp apparently. It’s doing a good job though. I’d be better off with my...

    USAF Survival Knife.

    No, it’s ok. While it’s not “on topic”, so to speak, it’s still pertinent information, and relates to the knife in question, as it doesn’t have a super hard steel blade. I’ll get to the update once I’ve finished putting a better edge on the blade. It’s slow going because I don’t have all my...

    It’s a trade off. Harder steel holds an edge better, but it can be more brittle and harder to sharpen in the field. You pays your money, you takes your choice. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    USAF Survival Knife.

    I’ve had a hankering for one of these knives for about 35 years, ever since I saw one advertised in the old Survival Aids catalogue. I suspect that quite a few of us who are of a certain age will look back with fond memories of that publication… Anyway, since I’m back in the uk at the moment...

    Cheers, I can’t believe I didn’t try there. I used to be in that shop at least once a month when I lived in North Wales… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    2021 Summer BushMoot - 26 July - 7 August 2021

    I'm still packed from last time... I had to fly back to Saudi shortly after the last moot (Was that really two years ago!) so the rucksack got dumped in the storage unit at the flat in Scotland. I've got 10 days in quarantine to sort out my stuff before I go.

    The Helikon-Tex E&E pouch looks around the right size.

    2021 Summer BushMoot - 26 July - 7 August 2021

    Well, I've booked for Hermione and I for 5 days. Looks like my usual spot might still be ok, I'll have to see though. I'll have Hermione with me, so I might need a new location anyway. I'll just have to go with the flow a bit.
