Does anyone know if you can buy the side pouches for a Rocketpak separately? I know they are PLCE compatible, so any PLCE side pouch should fit, but ideally I'd like to get a one in the same colour as the Rocketpak. I'll tell you why. I like my Rocketpak, but I find those side pouches too...

'Leisure' by William Henry Davies

Am I right in saying that the Snugpak wasn't the original 'response pack'? And, if so, does anyone know who made the original? Cheers.

I'll put my sabre away now (I keep it in my bag when in public); always good to have a good spar with someone every now and then - keeps the skills honed. :swordfigh:rolleyes:

I think we've all used/owned those cans before. Nothing wrong with them - what you see is what you get. For the price, they're good value for money. And given your requirements I'd say they just about fit the bill perfectly.

You'll have to try harder than that. Nice effort, though.

Not quite. The speed limit may be 60mph, but I see the traffice on the inside lane is at a standstill, it's rush hour so other drivers may be looking to pull into my lane, so I reduce my speed accordingly to avoid any potential danger. In other words, you act in a responsible way dictated by...

Are you bloody-mindedly obtuse? No one is questioning the carrying of knives as part of an occupation (i.e. those farmers). So of course they have a knife on them. That's not the debate. We're talking about carrying a knife (a legal one) when you don't really need to. And no one is really...

Yes, that may well be the case. No one is arguing with that. But if you have it in your pack away from eyes then no one sees it, no one gets uppity. You carry it on display, whether legal or not, you are courting potential trouble. That's the reality. You may well say 'well, I'm willing to...

If you actually took the trouble to read what I said, and not just what you wanted to hear, then you would have noticed that I said I have not seen them walk into a pub with a knife on their belt (you even quoted the sentence yourself!). That's nothing like saying they didn't actually have one...

That's exactly it. If you act responsibly there won't be a problem. Just because you can legally have a 3" non-locker on you doesn't mean it's necessarily sensible to go around with it on display.

You know what, I live in an area surrounded by farms. In all my time I have never seen a farmer or farm-worker walk into a pub at lunchtime or evening with a knife on their belt. If they can manage to go without a knife 24hrs a day then I'm sure some office worker calling himself a...

Fighting for your right to uphold your livelihood (in the manner that Wayland found himself in) is one thing - I think we would all support and condone that. Fighting for your right to walk into a pub (or anywhere else) with a sodding SAK is another... If you need it, then carry it. The law...

So is this how you've scripted the scenario in your heads, then: Police Officer (straight out of the 1950's 'Dixon of Dock Green' coppering): Excuse me, sir, but can you explain why you've entered a public house with what appears to be a knife on your belt? Bushcrafter: It's OK, officer...

Yes. I don't know why, though. If I was a Police officer and going to arrest you for having an offensive weapon I certainly wouldn't take the advice of a stupid bit of card you produced telling me what the law was - as far as I would be concerned if I thought you were such a risk as to arrest...

Run!? I'd have my work cut out walking the bugger. My advice? Don't. Take the long view - if you underachieve then your children will find it easier to do better than you and improve their lot in life. Don't do it, for them.

I had the day off work yesterday, and so went for a walk along the North Downs. It was splendidly peaceful, beautiful and warm day. Anyway, if you want to know more, and see some pictures then you can read more on my blog by clicking on the link in my signature. It's really left me not in the...

I'm not a Royalist at all. But I don't begrudge them the wedding - we aren't paying for it after all, it's paid for by the royal family (except the security bill, of course). So as far as I'm concerned they can fill their boots. And I genuinely wish the two of them all the luck in the world -...

Oh God, yeah. I hear what you're saying there. I'm with you. When they announced London had won I was working in London at the time and my heart just sank. Thank God I don't work there any more.

Except I wasn't in a marsh. In fact I couldn't have been any further away from a marsh/swamp/damp area if I tried. I was in exactly the correct habitat for a wheateater, however.
