    Expired BSA R10 TH .22 with scope , bottle and compressor

    What's it doing on the Chrono? 10 shot string? FPS variation? I don't know never tested. I bought the rifle brand new and have not made changes. haven't had problems with accuracy. can easily shoot 200 pellets before it starts to drop off. Does the compressor have a moisture filter? Has it been...

    Day pack decision

    These really are super tough little bags, vary in price and you can get a really nice one. Avoid the surplus shops on ebay that have multiples for sale. Buy the one pictured and check zips are good. as an example...

    Lowe Alpine vs Awry LA Sting

    Just weighed my bag AWRY Gen 1 MMPS type with digital scales. 2.11 Kg just the bag 2.93 with 2 pouches and the straps that come with. these are probably the heaviest of the versions available. Looking at my bag there is so much "unneeded to me" straps and clips I could probably save 1Kg by...

    Looking for a long back option in a smaller capacity pack

    Look for the side zips that zip up for cheap PLCE side pocket compatibility. Endicotts are really good.

    Looking for a long back option in a smaller capacity pack

    Another vote for the Sting with side pockets, I think that got mentioned on another thread. For research: Also how about the Karrimor SF Sabre 60-100 if you are not bothered about Molle? 40 liters of air weighs nothing. PLCE compatible. they are pricey new. maybe you can find a used one or...

    So what do you all drink these days?

    I was drinking J&B whiskey for a while just the odd glass. I went through a few bourbons and settled on Bulliet standard, tried the bulliet rye and didn't get on with that and got a 10 year too to try out. tried tin cup, buffalo trace and makers mark. I find the bulliet is a nicer drink once it...

    How do you feel about people joining to post Surveys?

    I think there should be some financial gain for tony or bushcraftuk.com as the forum is a very valuable source of concentrated information. Where to draw the line on what is relevant? not so sure. Maybe a trial in the full members section?

    Solo tent backpacking: Snugpak Journey solo?

    I found a rather nice price for 2 wild country coshee micro's. I like the pitching design for wet weather and i'm happy that wild country will be decent quality as I've had a tent by them before which lasted years. looking forward to trying this out.
