You would be a lunatic to get the clansman radios in my view - very very heavy and out of date for what you want them. Licensing aside (and noting plenty of very good advice on that front above), there are a wide variety of VHF and UHF handheld radios available on the likes of ebay. The licence...

Any PLCE side pouches will fit (olive, DPM, or MTP). take care not to get the virtus (and some berghaus) pouches. There are some Karrimor MTP drawstring and buckle closure ones that are desitgned to go with the ECM bergens which are quite nice - a few sets on ebay in MTP for not too much...

Marred with painful memories for many! But in all seriousness, cracking bit of countryside - i'll take a peek at the video later.

Great news! Glad it worked out - I've never looked back, not least because it avoids all the hassle of having to find a vaguely flat and dry piece of ground. Be prepared to experiment a bit - I've had super comfy nights, and the direct opposite - all to do with the 'droop' of the hammock. I...

The British army ones are really good - i've got two of the slghtly newer style (the multimat ones that are dark green, and have the double urethane coating so that they are coated on the outside as well) - they do take a few puffs to get them firm enough, but are pretty light, super comfy and...

How do you find the mug otherwise? I've been really pleased (admittedly, yours flavouring the water is a rather large negative!) - the different shape and bigger size seems to make it a slightly more agreeable substitute for a cooking pot, and i'm not sure if it is just my imagination, but it...

I've been using a mk2 for a few years, must admit that i haven't noticed a taste from it. Silly question i presume, but you aren't storing anything within it are you (or if you are storing it on a a waterbottle, that hasn't been contaminated)? I remember my days as a young scout eating from...

I opened myself up for that didn't I! Well done!

I've had a Bosch mouse sander for about 15 years now, its had some -periods of very intensive use, and does a decent job. looks pretty similar to the current model...

I'm eagerly awaiting replies on this as well - i recently bought a DD A frame tent. That was a nice design, but in use i've found the internal mozi net inner tent to be somewhat floppy, and also of key concern is that many of the external exposed seams on the fly sheet are not taped, but are...

I have no idea of your budget (or indeed experience with air rifles), but PCP's are getting much cheaper these days. I'm an adequate shot with a springer, but a PCP off a bipod (from say, a bedroom window!) allows for almost clinical levels of accuracy - which ultimately results in humane kills...

I would steer clear of the miltec/viper etc offerings to be honest - especially is there is a genuine medical reason for needing ankle support. They are rather cheaply made boots, and whilst they do no doubt give ankle support, they are thin and a little 'floppy' especially as they age. Don't...

Very interested with the report when you get it! Fingers crossed - the amok website tries to say that there are no known clones of their hammock - but my bank account will thank me if there are! (https://www.amokequipment.com/blogs/news/ongoing-scam-update-12-min-read)

i too found it sold out, but these combo's can be bought from the likes of Ali Express for about the same cost (the post above prompted me to look!). I also spotted spoon knives on there for under £3 inc postage - it would be interesting to see what quality they are!

In the past i had an emergency kit that consisted a couple of hexy blocks wrapped in thick foil, some waterproof matches+Striker, an aluminum mug, and 3 longish nails to keep the mug raised off the ground above the lit hexy. I don't think I actually used it in the end (well, apart from the mug...

They are still issued to the army (or at least they were a few years back). I had to do a weeks survival course on Bodmin Moor equipped with a particularly battered, blunt, and wobbly bladed example. That one wasn't engraved with the girl guides logo, but I recall that there were some Royal...

Its not the same, but i have a classic army issue 'H Frame' bergen somewhere in the loft. Still with a Karrimor branded frame! I did it up a few years ago as i loved the idea of using it, but in the end never got round to doing anything with it.

These are a rather nice very soft leather glove - issued so relatively cheap off ebay etc. Old desert dpm or newer MTP versions, but no doubt you could dye as you wish. They aren't lined, so you won't want to hold onto anything too hot for long...

I have no idea what it is (and as such my contribution to this thread is rather poor!), but i note that i have a load of what looks to be identical to the pictures above cropping up in various places over my lawn. At the moment I'm viewing it as some sort of weed and removing as much as i can!

Agreed, both myself and a friend have suffered edge chipping on our S1s too!
