    Blow guns? legal

    I think there’s an episode of Bottom where Rik Mayall hunts Wombles with a blowpipe. Probably why they’re now illegal. Bloody comedians spoiling the fun for everyone else!

    Hill People Gear 'UMLINDI' pack - in-depth review after full season of hiking etc.

    I’ve got a Qui-Ya, the compression system confused the hell out of me at first but once you know what you’re doing it becomes very useful. It’s one of the most comfortable packs I’ve carried, and it’s great for carrying things externally - tripods, axes etc.

    For Sale Knife Clearout! Updated with Lionsteel/Esee

    Morning, worth noting that I’m currently unable to sell any of these until mid-December. I don’t know where the MOD survival knife was made, but it is a genuine MOD survival knife and not a copy.

    An American Outdoorsman moving to the UK!

    I served with a Texan USCG Master Chief, dude sprinkled that on everything liberally. Wouldn’t eat lamb though. I can’t eat anything without Tony’s and Louisiana hot sauce now. Still, cheaper than that guys alcohol addiction from spending time with the Royal Navy though! Seriously though, if...

    An American Outdoorsman moving to the UK!

    Welcome! If you find yourself in Sussex there’s not much I won’t do for Tony Chachere’s bold seasoning. ;) Make sure you spend plenty of time traveling all over the country, there’s a lot of great countryside and history over here. Hope you enjoy your posting.

    Suggestions for a legal carry

    Well, they are legal so I’m not really sure what you mean there. What were you doing when you broke the tip? I’ve had no problems with either of mine and they’ve seen years of daily carry and use in a marine environment.

    Traits of leadership.

    Leadership is the art of getting people to do things they probably don’t want to do. As for desirable traits, honesty and integrity are very important. Once you lie you lose all credibility as a leader. Same goes for accountability, and that is holding yourself to the same standards to which you...

    Kombat M.O.D Style knife

    Why not just use it? It’s never going to be a collectors item anyway.

    Just saving the taxpayers money. I think it’s only the salt, oil and grease holding it together!

    Buffalo Special 6 - astonished

    I’ve had one for over 15 years, it’s still a go to bit of kit for me. Worth its weight in gold, and it’s not the lightest or most compact thing to pack. They work best when worn next to the skin, that’s how it’s designed to be worn. I’ve worn it over shirts and other base layers with no problem...

    Branded Waterproof jackets - Worth the money?

    Look at the Carinthia TRG line, it’s a bloody good bit of kit. I hate wearing waterproofs but the TRG is a bloody brilliant bit of kit. Extremely well thought out, I think it was developed in conjunction with the bootnecks.

    Ray Mears Scottish Mountain Gear Rucksack

    I think Jay Jays in Brecon make custom stuff. The leafcutter is a great design but I think it needs updating with higher quality clips and fastenings. Hill People Gear make some great kit.
