    PLCE bergan molle panel ?

    Ripstop Nylon

    I was speaking to a guy who was in the Rhodesian Light Infantry and they used to make sleeping bags out of old parachute material. More as a barrier against the cooling breeze at night and to keep bugs off him as warmth wasn't too much of a problem. The soldiers used to keep them stuffed in a...

    Transporting canoes / kayaks in a van with poptop roof?

    What type of pop top is it? I had a skyline pop top on my transporter. Uprated gas struts and fitted low profile roof bars would do the trick?

    What are you currently reading?

    Ahhh...! I get your point. At school I was interested in Shakespeare (from a story line POV) but the enforced academia that came along with it bored me to tears..... now I'm much older, I still like Shakespeare but it's the sonnets that I like not the plays.
