I've used Avtur in a coleman multi-fuel with no problems. It was handy, I'd just drain some from a wing tank when we needed a brew :D

I think the only real answer here is No. The best bushcraft pack is the one that you can fit everything you need into, and is comfortable to wear. The perfect pack for one person is completely unsuitable for another. The most bushcrafty one I've seen was a roycroft pack, where the three pieces...

I know it's not a lot of help, but if you're a time served airframe fitter, BAe Systems are hiring at the moment. It's for the Middle East though.

I've got a robot arm kit from Thinkgeek coming. They had a free international shipping deal on last week, so I put an order in. :D

Most of the year round I have a down vest in my pack. No pack space, loads of warmth.

Alpkit Filo? Personally I've always hankered after a North Face McMurdo. Since I now live in Saudi, I don't really need one though... :D

Helicon-Tex SFU trousers from Heinnie. about £25, hard wearing and quick drying.

As I recall (and I'm a bit foggy on the details) a company took images someone had posted on BCUK and used them on their website without permission. The member who owned the images managed to get compensation from the company. I think it was Spamel (long since sent off for bad behavior) and...

I had a set when I was working offshore. Off the Falkland Islands in winter, they kept me warm and dry.

Is it a bad sign that my first thought on seeing the thread title was "Make a Gin and Tonic"? :D

That is a very nice piece of work.

I've got the tarp, and it's a fantastic setup. It comes with poles, guylines, two sets of pegs, and a decent stuff sack. I've used it plenty of times without hassle. For that kind of price it's certainly worth having.

Try getting some of the big plastic straws from coffee shops and stuffing them with cotton wool/vasaline. Melt the ends shut, you have waterproof storage that can be cut to length for storage in kits. Cut it open and spark it. The plastic straw burns hot too as an extra bonus.

I prefer my Ventile smock, it's got a nice long zip, and I've never felt I needed more ventilation. The plus side of the smock for me, is that they generally have a tunnel front pocket so I can get access to stuff with either hand.

I think it's a Ford Mondeo.

I like the toothpick, It gets a lot of use.

Don't get me wrong, I love my cotton canvas 5.11, they're great trousers, but they're getting pricey.

The running joke out here in Saudi is that you'll be out dune bashing in the most up to date 4x4 with the most toys and you'll be passed by a Bedouin in an old chevy caprice classic... :D
