Surname of Barton is old Anglo-Saxon for keeper of animals in enclosed land.

I bought several 44 litre dry bags from Aldi a number of years ago, in a 35 litre rucksack and none have every leaked, not the lightest but a £6.99 who cares!

Just my two pennies worth, waterproof rucksacks are great till they leak, I’ve found over the years, to get a good rucksack, one that’s comfortable and what size you want and get good dry bags to go inside and a rain cover, it’s just as good and far more versatile.

This is spooky, I watched this on YouTube this afternoon!

I have both the 79 and soldier, re ground the edge to plain, they are much the same, the only advantage for me is the soldier has a dedicated Phillips. Can’t remember the last time I used a cork screw, when I got the ranger grip 79, it was almost £20 cheaper than the 78 which has the Phillips...

Baofeng BF-W31 Waterproof PMR, used them for couple of years, easy 1+ mile range, depending on terrain (I do have a full ham licence, before the nay sayers) all round simple radio to use.

For what it’s worth, anyone interested they are brilliant bags, had mine 14 years now and still solid. Mine goes every where with me, over nighters etc, even on my hols and will hold a ton of kit!

Bright orange, rain cover, fed up of drivers not seeing me walking along the road.

Really bushcrafty, two telescopic mash mellow/toasting forks!

I have two main Swiss Army knives, the traveller which I’ve had for 25 years and used daily, out camping or fishing the solider, but I’ve put a plain edge on it cos it’s easier to sharpen. Recently had a Ranger grip 78 bought for me as a present and getting used to that. All have excellent...

The bags are not the cheapest but they are to me the best, just half fill an army metal mug and just let it steep for a few minutes and remove the bag. There are different strengths so higher the number relates to strength but still not expresso though, can’t have everything!

Taylor’s of Harrogate, their coffee bags, no6 are excellent when out and about and so easy to use , no fuss!

Mr Amazon sell water bladders very cheap, I’ve several, 5 & 10 litre bags, those could be an option for the sawyer filter, roll up and put away when not required, just a thought.

1983, just quit, said no more and didn’t. The hard bit was going to the pub, cig n pint was the hardest, just made for each other.

Still with a life time guarantee!

Does a ‘92, 30ltr Jura pack count, still going strong. No internal frame so great for putting in lockers, shame the laminated material inside is now failing!

New telescopic landing net, my old one has finally been retired after 20years!

I’ve had mine 18 years, ex demonstrator, this year first real expenses, the slave cylinder went on clutch, two new rear shocks, break pipes and front brake pads replacement. So all in all not too bad, always had it serviced regularly and have a friendly land rover garage nearby. As you say not...

A good read, read it the first time in ‘75 as teenager and was hooked by this and first blood, way better than the film!

SAK traveller and my favourite folder a spiderco uk carry, that’s a brilliant cutter and keeps a keen edge.
