Just slightly off topic, bought similar pack, £3 from charity shop, took the pack off the frame and added two forty litre dry bags for canoe camping. Excellent for portaging, the only weight is your stuff, so many new sacks are heavy before you start, my rush 72, is 3.5 kilos before you’ve...

Hi and welcome

511 rush 72, had mine 10 years never let me down.

Twists, are a military thing more than anything, used them all the time. Now it’s gaiters, even cheap ones will keep your trouser dry and secondly clean!

As kids we’d light then on rough side of glass!

For leather treatment, I was given a large tin of Barbour wax to coat a jacket many years ago, tried it once, along with a hot air gun (paint stripper) and gently warm the leather and rub the wax in, works a treat and buffs up nicely when cool.

From the look of the buckles, I’d say 80’s. I was lucky enough to trial them in the early 80’s for the military and at the end of the trial, burghaus gave them to us, result! I used it for the rest of my army career only recently gave it to a nephew for the cadets, still lots of life in it!

New fishing reel, to make up the tiny travel rod set for my travels

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.
