    Circa 1955 Scouts Soft Pack

    They don't have shoulder straps as they have D rings to attach to webbing but they are dead easy to add straps to. They come in two varieties, a linen one and a heavier canvas one. The one in the pic looks to be the linen version. They're not as large as John's, maybe 20 litres. I've a...

    TBS knife?

    I've a few of their knives. The folding edc, the wolverine flat grind and the boar in carbon steel. All great value and quality. The new ahma pukko looks interesting but I hate red liners so I'll not be buying one.

    Savotta Hawu 4 tent

    I can't speak for their tents but their packs are top notch (I have four and one made by them for Varusteleka).

    O2 steel vs cpm 3v vs elmax

    If you are looking for a knife that is good for carving and batoning then you're going to have to compromise on performance somewhere. A knife that is thick enough and long enough for prolonged batoning is going to be a bit unwieldy for detailed carving (not good practice to baton with a knife...

    Does such a thing exist....

    Whilst it doesn't actually fix to the bag the snugpak special forces bivi and special forces 2 sleeping bag (-15c rated) work very well together.

    Gorka 3 Russian Army Mountain Suit

    I've just got my gorka 4 and they've made a few changes. The trousers no longer have the tick traps. They now have a foot stirrup. might be useful if you're wearing them with wellies (a lot of Russian hunters do) not so useful for me, so I'll probably cut them off. The reinforcing fabric is...

    Gorka 3 Russian Army Mountain Suit

    Sorry I don't have a camera at the moment (or a smart phone). The chap who runs the site speaks English I believe, might be worth an email if you have any queries, I'm sure he could sort you the appropriate size. They also seem to have discounted express delivery at the moment too. I just...

    Gorka 3 Russian Army Mountain Suit

    I'm 6'0" 44" chest 34" waist and I went for the large long. The jacket is a good fit (they are supposed to be baggy) arm length is fine. The trousers are great around the waist (they sit high up, not around your hips) but could do with being an inch longer in the leg. They sit just at the top...

    Gorka 3 Russian Army Mountain Suit

    The Bars gorkas are good quality but there are fakes out there. I particularly like the tick traps in the legs. I got mine from the grey shop https://grey-shop.ru/
