    For Sale Ventile Jacket plus

    A few bits to move on. Jackets have been washed but I do have dogs. Too many jackets and rucksacks. Alpkit Ventile jacket XXL (48" - 50". This is a bit of a hybrid with double layer ventile in the hood, chest and shoulders. In a navy blue, three external pockets and one internal pocket. A...

    Wanted basket-hilt broadsword, dirk & sgian dhu

    I think there is an armourer making the likes of what you want in Edinburgh. They were doing their own more refined version of the MOD survival knife. If you want original, you'll likely pay for a new car or have to raid an estate/castle. They usually have them stuck up on the wall.

    Carnation Condensed Milk

    I find the European stuff not as sweet. That's not a bad thing at all but I was surprised. I always like to have some on my work travels, it's so much better than the UHT wee cartons. I'm using some Polish stuff ATM and bought some Nestle stuff in Vienna over new year. I have to admit at...

    purpose of this configuration in daypacks?

    Simple organisation. I use a Camelbak Motherlode for a work bag, great lots of organisation and separate compartments. No use whatsoever for anything else, as others have said single compartment, maybe a pocket or two and kit separated into bags.

    Filofaxes

    I’ve used a Filofax mainly the A5 size convenient for A4 but small enough to be handy. I used to look at all the Filofax inserts but rarely used them beyond the address book. I have the Levenger circa system, same idea but a different binding system. I have a Rite in the Rain ‘Filofax’ with...

    For Sale DULUTH WANDERER CANVAS PACK

    I reached out to Duluth packs to check and they confirmed it was an older version of the Wanderer pack. The only difference I could see was the webbing carry handle.

    For Sale DULUTH WANDERER CANVAS PACK

    For sale is a Duluth canvas pack, I believe it's an older model made in 2007 and it doesn't have the carry handle the modern version has. No rips or tears with one exception. One of the straps for the main compartment has been chewed so I've tidied it up. A solid pack in great condition...

    Alternatives to ventile?

    If you're against both Ventile and Goretex, or derivatives thereof, look at the Paramo stuff, I've little experience but didn't like it. Alternatively look at the Arktis B310 Smock. Hard wearing poly cotton outer with a drop liner inside, I've worn it in pretty heavy prolonged rain and been...

    Alternatives to ventile?

    I’ll challenge that inasmuch in what is your expectation? I have had my double Ventile smock on for a full day in driving rain on an open hill and still been dry inside. Your denim jacket may work as well as a single layer Ventile although not knowing your denim jacket I don’t know how wind...
