The new Flexistove? I don’t think they ready to ship yet. Last update 9th Feb.

I was listening to the Tawny Owl in the back garden last night. Setting up the bivi later so I can watching it flying.

New Millbank filter from chelmerbushcraft on eBay. Inexpensive and great finish, good chap to deal with. Esbit burner with pot for alcohol/meths from AliExpress. I’d use hime made burner for meths though. Bit smaller that a fire dragon folding stove but you can’t fit the blocks in it. It...

I sometimes carry a waist pack, old US army molle II “sausage”. About 7L enough for water bottle, brew kit, sit mat and poncho. Ideal for having a cuppa rain or shine. It goes under the pack lid when out and about. Everything I want when I stop is to hand. I try to keep the bag small so I...

There are a lot of online UK retailers who regularly have SRP/ORP’s and sundries in stock. Military Mart - online surplus Surplus & Outdoor - online surplus Evaq8* TheBeWellGroup / AdventureNutrution* * These two are dedicated suppliers of emergency food and carry a wide variety of lifeboat...

Sounds like interior decoration by Quentin Blake!

I was thinking just that. Where is the Bren gun? :) I have been tempted by a universal pouch on the day pack shoulder strap. Should hold a can of Guinness Nalgene bottle of water nicely.

Most of the Marine emergency strobes tend to be white. As are most torch SOS modes. Strobes get used as underwater markers at depth for divers to find the ascent line or staged gas but are not usually visible from the surface. Double duty as distress marker on the surface. I'd avoid blue...

https://www.spservices.co.uk/First-Aid/First-Aid-Kits/BS-Compliant/c/BS-Compliant-SP I know the odd Paramedic (in fact very odd ;)) and they got me kit from the above suppliers.

The strike is the 40L day sack. I assume the thin straps are to be less bulky. Maybe for when wedged in a vehicle, chucked on over yoke or under the lid of a big bag.

I’ve seen various urban clothes brands using realtree and similar camo. It does make me smile that it’s twice the price of actual hunting and outdoor workwear but probably not very durable. :D

This is an image of his eBay listing page as I may have got the spelling wrong.

I've not seen a specific lid for the Belgian mug yet in my years of surplus kit diving. Never say never though! There is an eBay seller "woodlorien" who makes nice lids for crusader mugs & various mess kits like the Yugoslavian ones. Might be worth a shout. Items are made to order so it takes...

Seconded. One of the most interesting courses I've been on, some years back though! Got to do the scenarios on the crags above Capel Curig. A fellow student fitted the Rescui Anne track suit, which worked well with the mullet and scouse accent. There may have been wee taking.

Not something I've messed about with yet but good to know for reference. I've final got a stove jack for my tarp.

I'm sure there are some on here who'd be interested. I'd happily buy it from you and then hopefully be able to compare old to new.

I admit to being interested. I think people have reported the original stove being more robust than you would expect so I hope changes don't effect that. My pet theories are: 1) Different internal foil (but I think they had sourced the original). 2) Resized or changed to fit other pots...

An update has just been sent out from Flexistove. They are close to shipping the pre-orders. A new website with details is going to be launched. The design has been “enhanced”. Hopefully the website will clarify this when it’s running.

If I was going for a Banshee I’d go for the 300. But this is a bit over speced for a solo user. I just happened to be looking at them at the time I posted.

1) Those who stay collected and functionally “present”. Able to respond effectively. 3) Instinctive flight of fight mode, no reasoning. Outright active panic, or the “lights are on but no one is home” passive panic. Plus they can switch between them.
