    Highlander Forces 44L

    Quick question for anybody who has this bag - does it have an adjustable back system? I have not been able to find any pictures of the back system. Cheers for any help...

    Olive Hooded Smock!

    My German's sehr rusty but this looks like a decent camp jacket for 13 Euros.

    Pocket chainsaw!

    What a shame! Thanks for looking in to this anyway Greg. I wonder whether an groupbuy a couple of months ago would have been enough to help keep them on their feet... Seemed like they had a good product there. Just out of interest what was the name of the company?

    Highlander Loader Holdall - any good?

    Update I cannot recommend AAKA Surplus (the guys I linked to in the previous post) at the present time. I sent them my order and my money on 8th March, and I've heard nothing from them since. Their website does say to allow a maximum of 28 days for delivery, but I have emailed them and...

    First pocket knife

    Remember my first penknife - a Victorinox Waiter. I must have been 8 or 9. I was so damn happy. Even when my new mate, the Hotel owner's son asked to have a look and then tried to close the main blade the wrong way. 6 does seem a little young to me (but then I was never the most responsible...

    Homemade stoves

    Cheers Dunk. Is that a wood burner? I'm trying to put the links intosome order based around style. This would strike me as a Hobo style. Do you agree? If anyone can add more info, or tell me what should go where, I'd be grateful. I'm doing this more out of a sense of completeness at the...

    Homemade stoves

    Thanks for the positive comments guys, and the extra links (which I've added). Hopefully I'll start to put them into a more sensible order once I've had a chance to review them all. Ideally I want people to be able to see them in terms different versions around the same common design so...

    Homemade stoves

    Thanks Fred. It's too much of a coincidence not to ask, but that pattern wouldn't be anything like the Kayak Stove design I just added from the Wings Archive site?

    good surplus shop found

    Cheers Jodie. That thread made me laugh - I have been in one of the shops mentioned: So true! Walked in there with my girlfriend and asked about a scarf I'd seen in the window. He showed no understanding so I pointed out the same scarf above his head. He looked up, got one from under the...

    good surplus shop found

    Sorry to bump an old thread, but does anyone know the name and location of the Army Surplus in Victoria? Looking for decent shops in London is hard work.

    Favourite bit of kit

    Hahaha, Agreed. I've got the same torch. If there are other peole around, I pull it down so the strap's around my neck and the torch rests on my chest. That way I can see whatever's in my hands, and I don't blind people. Sometimes I think even when it's dipped that torch is quite bright for...

    Highlander Loader Holdall - any good?

    Ah well. 3 to1 against, and I decided to go for it anyway. :11doh: It just looked a more practical design than anything else, and quite a bit cheaper. Ended up ordering it from these guys as it was the same price (well £1 more with postage £1 cheaper) and they had some other stuff I "needed".

    Highlander Loader Holdall - any good?

    Hi there, new here. Been posting on BritishBlades for a few months. I was wondering whether anyone can tell me about the Highlander Loader holdall. I asked on BB and had mixed reviews of Highlander products which I see are echoed here. Does anyone actually own one of these...
