    Withdrawn Hill People Gear Waxed Canvas Kit Bag

    Hi Louis, it’s great for my 8x30s but the 10x50s are a push. I’ve gone over to carrying them in an M60 pouch as they carry more comfortably in that.

    Withdrawn Hill People Gear Waxed Canvas Kit Bag

    Nearly new, special order from the US to get one of these in waxed canvas. It’s a lovely thing, but just gathering dust as it’s too small for my binos. I’m after £120 posted via Bank Transfer. Full description and specs below: Waxed Canvas V1 Original Pattern Kit Bag, specially manufactured...

    Ka-Bar fighting knives

    Have you had to pull a dagger out on a blue-haired, Tesla driving they/them or do you exclusively target Ka-Bar wielding, Harley riding flippers of the bird? :D

    Ka-Bar fighting knives

    I bought mine at the Navy Exchange in Bahrain, think I paid something like $70 for it. It’s a good looking knife, holds a decent edge but otherwise is a bit shite. Mine bent slightly after I pried an ammo tin open with it (no comments required on knife usage here), much to everyone’s great...

    Surviving Extreme Heat- UK 40° summer days.- climate change related severe heat events

    I have spent a lot of time in +40. I also drank a lot of booze in those temperatures. I recommend ice cold beer to stay hydrated with a few gin and tonics thrown in to aid refreshment.

    Wild animal fats vs wild plant fats?

    To think, for the last 39 years I’ve been grinding them into a fine dust to snort when I could have just been eating them whole all this time! Still, I try not to deprive the squirrels of their food. Mines a 12oz ribeye please!

    Wild animal fats vs wild plant fats?

    A rabbit can be snared, a fish can be caught on a night line or in a gill net. There are passive ways of hunting, but no passive ways of acquiring nuts. Of course, the good standard is to acquire both. But the question was which is better in a survival situation and the numbers to me say that...

    Wild animal fats vs wild plant fats?

    The question is based off a hypothetical survival situation. So the answer is easy… Animal fats for the simple fact that any plant fat requires processing. The duck fat is readily available from the source. Kill it, cook it, eat it. No animal is 100% fat, so you will of course have protein...

    Chris Reeve Shadow III. Survival Knife.

    Sable IV, got it last week. I was somewhat dubious about the strength of these what with the hollow handle, now I’m pretty convinced that these things would survive the armageddon. Incredible craftsmanship!

    Qui-Ya is a brilliant pack, you’ll love it. I’m only really after one water bottle pouch and one GP pouch, so if you fancy a bit of splittage then please let me know.

    I’d be interested in the pouches if you’d consider selling them seperately from the pack.

    Fjallraven Trousers?

    Sounds like you shouldn’t be trusted with trousers.

    Fjallraven Trousers?

    Vidda Pro Ventilated are the way to go. I pretty much live in mine these days. The vents and elasticated crotch are worth the extra cash, just be mindful of ya bawbag if crossing a barbed wire fence. Trust me on that!
