    Berghaus Vulcan/Crusader or Karrimor Saber ????

    If you want a olive green and rugged bergan the vulcan looks great. If you want to carry weight any distance I would personally go with one of the canvas macpac numbers. Something like the cascade. I have had one for 11 years now and it is extremely hard wearing and in my opinion the back system...

    You're right it was a B&R Corporal in 2009 with a .338. Lots on wiki if you're interested. Time of flight would have been as much as 6 seconds at that distance.

    That's a long way. What military rifle did you shoot to 1.5 miles with?

    Aku NS 564 'Navy Seal' Boots.

    Sounds like they would be perfect for what you want. I share your dislike of lined boots, I have a non-goretex set of nepal extremes which I love, I dont think they make them anymore. Lowa still make their military boots both with and without goretex though.

    Merino and Possum fur?

    You're right, protected in Oz, completely alien to NZ (having no natural mammals or marsupials other than bats). They are culled at every opportunity in NZ - possum fur being an excellent by-product of this process. I've found the merino/possum mix to be great, almost like cashmere!
