    Lightweight grab bag (help me out!)

    They are useful, I made one based on the Kifaru Woobie modding the layout slightly and bought one of their Doobies(double the insulation). I've slept under them both in vehicles, tents etc and they are quite adaptable.

    Lightweight grab bag (help me out!)

    I'm trying to find a list I provided to our Flood Team volunteers without much luck. Essentially a change of clothes, pants and socks for three days, wash kit, personal first aid/boo boo kit, any personal medication, spare glasses rather than contacts. I note you mentioned shared sleeping bags...

    Queer smell

    It could have been that. It was distinct but a very narrow scent, two steps and I was out of it. One area about a third of the way up the hill and the next about a third of the way from the top.

    Queer smell

    I was walking up Cademuir hill south of Peebles this morning and in two different places, about a mile apart, I smelt what I can only equate to toasted sesame oil. I couldn’t see any unusual plant, tree or droppings. Any thoughts on what it could have been?

    FAK - What do you carry, what do you base camp with and what's your EDC.

    I was trained to a pretty high standard of FA for work utilising various not over the counter drugs, de-fibs, trauma bandages and tourniquets. I remember on a Woodlore course one of the instructors asking a student where his FA kit was. We were using axes at the time. 'Back in my tent' was...

    Jetboil alternative....

    Be wary of copies. I had one from a well known UK company, their version of the jetboil essentially a Chinese copy branded to them. The first was recalled due to safety issues the second I sent back after the gas started leaking out of the canister during operation and was actually alight...

    two way radios updated to cb radios

    Reading online pages, articles, data does not count as research if the articles are not peer reviewed before publication and if those papers are slanted to prop up a specific viewpoint I would question their validity rather than seek more to back up a belief. Your original query was to ask...

    Sold Dutch military double hooped bivi shelter (Carinthia Observer)

    Not connected to seller but these are excellent pieces of kit. I've used mine a fair bit and love it. I have managed to get fully dressed including Goretex when getting up in the morning to a torrential downpour on Arran. Good luck with the sale.

    Washing with limited water

    I remember a reference, from where I don't know, that the British army in the North African campaign were trained to wash with a mug of water at most. I remember tips on Woodlore's camp craft course talk about using exfoliating gloves to help clean yourself. I've used the Water wipes myself...
