Thanks for the reply. Glad to hear that they're a worthwhile buy.

Hi everyone, I'm thinking about getting myself a new smock in olive (rather than the camo one I have at present), so I've been looking on Ebay and have found a knock off of the Army's PCS smock, which is available in both standard and MVP versions. I've been very happy with the performance of...

It would be scarier if you were the ghost of an air cadet ;)

I don't think you sound too badly equipped at all. I'm not a big fan of ponchos, as I find they tend to flap about (ideal for sitting under during brew stops though). German Para boots are good, but I wouldn't consider buying online as there's nothing worse than ill fitting boots. As to...

I might weigh 20 kilos more than I used to, and I might be going a bit grey, but I'm still feel like I'm 25 (most of the time at least!).

I ended up buying the Mora 2000. The decision was simplified somewhat by the fact that I couldn't find anywhere in Denmark selling the Clipper Companion. :rolleyes:

Hi Chas, Did you mean to post a link?

I've just checked the current exchange rates, and it's actually £20.96 :o I don't know if they send abroad, but I saw them on outnet.dk: http://www.outnet.dk/da-mora/jakt-fiskekniv-mora-2000.php?group=prod_prod_grp-s1%2F322

One vote for each! What do you prefer about the Companion John?

I'm looking for a new knife for general use (plus a bit of hunting/fishing etc.), and was thinking about buying a Clipper Companion (cheap, good steel, and with a nice washable plastic scabbard), but in the course of my searching I've found that I can get the Mora 2000 for under £20. Now from...

Good to know! I've been thinking about importing a knife from the UK, but wasn't sure about the law.

Now we're all showing our age!! They were great shirts though, well worth getting nostalgic about.

Some years back (about 25 I think) I had a couple of fantastic shirts, which I think were called 'Rhino shirts'. They were really thick and hardwearing checked lumberjack style shirts, pretty much indestructible, and ideal for kicking about outdoors. I wouldn't mind getting one again, but I've...

Good knives for the price! I use the stainless version at work, and have been very impressed by the quality of the steel, they take a good edge and hold it well too.

I usually wash my goretex stuff in the washing machine without using any powder/liquid.

£300 for an ECWCS parka? They're dirt cheap since the US Army went over to ACU and Multicam. You can often find them for 20 quid or less.

Sorry Lasse, but I didn't see much left of the bunkers apart from concrete rubble. You can see the trench lines still, and there's some barbed wire here and there, but none of it is too obvious unless you know what you're looking at (for example my wife didn't believe me!). I did some internet...

Brilliant stuff for the winter! http://shop.termooriginal.com/

I've never tried washing one, but can't honestly see that there should be any problems doing so. It might make a mess of the washing machine though, so perhaps you should wait till your wife is out before you bung it in. Make sure and use the proper stuff (Barbour Thornproof Dressing) for...

Hi Rex, Welcome to the forum! What breed of rabbits have you got? One of my colleagues started breeding rabbits last year, he reckons he gets about 2kgs of usable meat from each one. Cheers Joe
