Hi, Sorry for the delay in replying. I'm 5 foot 10 inches tall (178 cm) and still have enough space at either end of the tent to be comfortable. My standard length thermarest neoair xtherm fits in and still a few inches movement either end, and I can only just sit up in the middle of it, so I...

Hi, Sorry for the delay in replying. That's the thing, it doesn't feel all that sturdy, but it is a lot sturdier than it feels, that is the nature of the Kerlon material. It's certainly ideal for me, I have finally found my ideal backpacking tent for long distance walking, the amount of real...

I can't remember where I read this, it might've been the Hilleberg catalogue, that all Hilleberg tents are designed around Bo Hilleberg's son Rolf who is 6' 2" tall, so they are designed around a standard length. However they do state online and in their catalogue that the yellow label line of...

Hilleberg tents come in 3 different "label" categories... black, red and yellow. Black is their all weather all season heavy duty anywhere in the world, Arctic and Arctartic expedition grade. Material- Kerlon 1800 Red is also all weather all season but made from lighter weight materials than...

Would that be the shop that succeeded Survival aids?.... Man I spent so much money on that magazine when I was a lad...that was a great source of survival and bushcraft items back in the '80s and '90s....ahhhh the memories [emoji4] Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

Yeah likewise, it's starting to wear off mine already [emoji1360] Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

Yeah I got this one also. It's attached on to the main cinch cord of my bergen...handy for rooting around inside the bergen in the dark, and adds almost no weight to the bag. Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

Haha yeah I got the exact same comment when my missus saw it too [emoji23] I think it was just your luck which colour they sent you out of 3 colours...red, black or this mint green colour......I was hoping for the black one [emoji23] ATB Allan Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

This little olight fella lives on my keys. Got it as a freebie on a giveaway a few months ago. It replaced a years old maglite solitaire. Far outperforms it's size with it's 2 brightness settings. And it unscrews to reveal a micro USB charging port. Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

No worries mate, glad to have helped [emoji1360] Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

This is the one that lives in my firefighting kit, and gives an instant crazy hotspot on anything you focus it on, especially darker coloured items https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TRADITIONAL-50MM-GLASS-MAGNIFYING-LENS-BUSHCRAFT-SOLAR-FIRELIGHTING-EDC-/124177294721?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292...

Might be worth checking out Gumtree for your local area. Looked on mine (Glasgow) and there were loads of older model ones for sale for around the £30-£70 mark. Hope this helps [emoji1360] ATB Allan Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

The Lionsteel M4 sheath was just a little too tight in the mouth of the nalgene bottle, I didn't want to force it too much as it may have damaged the sheath (I'm not bothered about damaging the bottle). I'm sure that with some leatherworking skills it would be possible to make a narrower sheath...

Hi guys, Hope everyone is keeping well. Took this earlier this year, so I think I'll call it... "Splash of summer" ATB, Allan Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

A Lionsteel M4 fits inside nicely if you were to substitute the sheath for something a little less substantial. You won't find a finer survival knife in my opinion [emoji1360] ATB Allan Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

Good buy there mate, had the DPM version for years now, and it's still going strong [emoji1360] ATB, Allan Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

Roll on the winter coming. That will keep the morons indoors and the great outdoors will once again belong to the people who truly appreciate and enjoy it. Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

Hi mate, Yeah good bits of kit, very warm, and I would recommend to go a size smaller as they are cut on the large side, both the jacket and trousers. I’m normally an XL in most clothing sizes, and a large softie jacket and trousers fit me perfectly. I am referring to the older style of...

Watching with interest as I have the exact same setup in coyote tan which I may put up for sale soon. It is a great bag, and that is indeed a bargain, those side ammo pouches are about 40 quid each to buy individually, never mind the cost of the actual bag itself. Sent from my SM-G973F using...

It's not too bad for warmth. I wouldn't rely on it as an outer layer in the middle of winter or anything, but it's ideal as a mid layer or as a windproof outer when you stop for a break when out walking. I'm a hillwalker, so it lives in my bag for that reason, throwing on when stopping for a...
