I am making some like the Karrimor version for my Strike. I ended up with spare side pockets of the wrong type so took them apart.

I belive I have the Dutch army one before they went goretex. It is the one with the cotton or canvas bit at the top with straps in the same material. I damaged it and was looking for mods before repairing and reproofing however I cannot seem to find it at all so if anyone has a clue would be...

I despair of myself at times. Another amazing show of John's work and my first thought is John drinks Punk IPA!

I really like the Greencraft idea of using a screw tin and fire rope.

Check out the blog three points of the compass to give you an idea of what light is. 0.45 kg for your cooking system is heavy.

Sorry I tapped out a bit after reading some of the replies. The question was not about legal carry and more about what jobs can you not do with a UK legal knife that you would want to? Location not really a thing except you are going to bushcraft.

Yes and it what can you use to survive? I have had fishing kits in survival kits as long as I can remember and I do not fish so a bit of a waste of space. That was one of turning points for me. One of the big issues is that they are in reality escape and evasion kits. I have sort of gone the...

Did they carry escape and evasion kits which are basicily the same thing?

I had a really good time. I was a volunteer so there from Thursday which means I may have met you all and do not know it. Met some really good people and spent too much money.

That is what I thought to be honest.

Is a sub-3" locking or fixed blade legal? I think the answer is obvious however I have a couple of sub 3" fixed blades that I like and was wondering if maybe I should start using them over my Moras etc.

You are going on a 3 day trip and have to stay UK legal so what do you carry? Also what can you not do that you would normally do?

I carry a rough rider UK legal most of the time and a sak some of the time(It tends to be in my bag). If I have an excuse I will carry my Leatherman. I binned a rough rider on the way to a football match as I forgot to leave it in my car however it was in the press that someone got caught in the...

I would take a long hard look at your kit because an 80 liter rucksack is a lot of space. Check out the "Three points of the compass" blog as he is UK based and is a very good guide in heading towards lightweight. Once you start looking it amazing how heavy somethings are however there is light...

Something I forgot is you might want to check out Paul Kirtley's podcast and website plus other UK based before you come as there are things you can get that are not available in the UK. You can buy anti-biotics which we have to be prescribed them by a doctor. Codeine on its own is also...

Scotland is the best place in the UK due to the right to roam. The big thing to check is our weapon laws as they are bizarre. Also it worth checking what sort of stove/fire you can use as no one seems sure on a location by location basis. Also what sort of transport are you going to use to and...

Very confused. A temp of 40 Centigrade is Gran Canaria hot and that does not happen in the UK. To be honest my advice is to get everything tested especially your liver because if you are running that cold something is wrong.

I really like the idea of having a water(snow) pot on top so you could put your mug with water on that or cook on that/boil water in the inner. I have an alcohol stove idea which would work great with this I think.

Go to GoOutdoors and have a wonder round with her and find out what size of tent she wants. If you going to do some car camping a tent you can stand up in, a porch and no sewn in groundsheet are really useful points.
