I thought the Dutch bivi was meant to be top dog apart from the carinthia. I recently got one and spent one night in it so far. No issues and loved it. I have been used to the alpkit though. I do have the British army which I love. Stuff mat and bag in it and roll up good to go under a basha. I...

That’s amazing thank you I will drop message once I have it :)

Hi Grey not fussy at all. I am in Carmarthenshire. The pack is coming from England next month. Looking forward to it. Again 56 years old and I get excited about a backpack frame

That’s a good idea kill two birds with one stone

As part of my losing the plot as I get older I am picking up this frame next month. It’s a tracker made by camp trails in phoenix I like using old gear and prefer it over the shiny new stuff. So my question is I can obviously tie things to the frame. But what do I need to search for bag wise...

I have getting big in cow boy coffee even at home. The results can vary though some times the coffee settles perfectly other times not I might just deploy a tea strainer job done

I am new to this caper but I can’t being doing cold. I start packing with bare minimum but then think well I need my softie oh better take my fleece next minute 80+ litres gone

Perfect warm as could be and with the medium army bag warmth wasn’t an issue.

Well second try at hammock last night with my dd. The first time I felt close to be comfortable but never got there and was rough night. Last night with structured ridge line I got closer and the lay was right but it just felt to short. So my next plan is to buy a 12 foot one wind I think like I...

Very nice Martin. Nice shade of blue that. They sure seem well spoken of. Mine doesn’t have a bottom pocket which from what I gather means it’s an early one. The guy I got it off did say I was getting a lot of bag for a tenner. I think he was ex army and it had been his bag. He did really good...

Thing of beauty that nolight and the dpm pouches obviously fit

Ah I read some where even reversed they didn’t fit but your obviously do. Not to worry I have a pouch on the way now

Just picked up me missing pouch off nice chap on eBay . All sorted now

Lovely Martin. What pouches are the dpm ones I read they don’t fit? I need to source one side pocket

Few better pics here very happy with it. I need to google the load bearing straps the ones at the top of the shoulder straps. Never noticed them on other bags. Not sure what they achieve

Picked one of these up today for a tenner. I get the the feeling there’s a new one and an older type of these. This is definitely an older type and the chap I got it off said it has a lot of history this particular bag. Only has one rocket pouch but I see a few online. Has some nifty one hand...

Hi yes sorry imgur where the pictures are have just blocked uk which is very unhelpful. Have to find some where else

Yes very pleased with it. Seemed solid and zips worked well. Plus I had bit of head room which was god send. It’s in west wales clem

Ear buds are a good idea I like the sound of rain and bit of wind but the tarp was slapping hard. Might use poncho next time less to flap. I could just got out the weather but part of the fun of that spot is nice high view. My first night out as the weather starts to change and I feel the cold...

Tested the Dutch army last night very happy with it. Can see the elan heading for eBay Paired it with medium army sleeping bag and what maybe a 35s mat not sure. Got it on Vinted for a fiver. Been rolled up in attic for years. But quick few puffs off me it now inflates on its own like a good...
