my belt kit i wear while working or walking is a green army belt covered in molle pouches, but my stealthier kit is in a knapsack from endicotts, which matches the indi jones hat, theers a lot more comfort items in this like playing cards, pocket slingshot, pocket kite, mini microscope, colins...

i think FAK, as falstaff said, and shelter ive used a mini poncho loads of times from my belt kit, sometimes just to sit on on wet grass while out shopping with my wife.. But a mini poncho and mylar will fit in a tin kit... and ive used the mylar i think twice in emergencies, just not on me...

I think the sealed kit has its place in the military, where you cant trust grunts to keep PSK in order, and tehy have so much otehr gear, they need to know its there when they need it, and military use for E&E is very different to UK, prepared pathfinder, only recent left military i thin, he...

exactly, you need to be profrssional, several of my clients have food areas, they normally have onside first aid kits etc but thats not the point, if you have to wait while someone wanders off to find the kit, write it all down in a book, all the while they are thinking "are you charging...

Yes!!! That absolutely does my nut in.....

Yes but 217 posts, im not going to let it die, this might be my most commented thread...... PSK is a very good philosophical discussion....

***!!!!! to be honest ive changed my esbit stove to use alcahol gel... but my stash of cheap hexamine, planning on using it in my model steam engine mostly.... because it has a little slide out fuel tray, it wont like alcahol gel..... need to find anotehr fuel.......

i remember those, i had dozens of them, that was in the time before Aldi/Lidl when you had no option but for price gouged brand names....

I thought the same untill last year when we bought some, so much better to grow your own, if only biodegradable packaing was used more....like in america when dress cloth and cut directions came on flour sacks....

Waxed cloth is great, great for cheese as helps it breath... once they wear out, can be used as firelighters as they ahve wax in... old cotton dishclotehs get cut up and soaked in wax for firelighters... we use a loofah as well for dishes and bathroom, just picked up some seeds but havent...

If people are looking for a bargain...they shouldnt look at Olite But with Aliexpress black friday sale, as Nice65 and Chris say sofirn/wurkoss, nitecore etc are a bargain..... i had a klarus but it burned my pouch, now ive got a sofirn IF23 and very happy, but theres now a recently released...

ikea is worth looking at, they do cheap delivery...but a bit plasticy lidl is always worth a lurk, except for fashlights now, aliexpress seems better for them. home bargains is good for food, small packets of things. but regarding cloth, calico would be better than modern cotton sheets, i had...

Falstaff, instead of waxed paper, just wrap food in waxed cloth, great for wrapping cheese, if it gets too crinkled, just hold in front of oven and it will remelt..
