    1980s Survival catalogue pages

    I loved SWAT it was brilliant most of the time. I might have some of your articles Laurentius as I had some of John Fenna's. I have 2 A4 folders full of them. I also have the diary they did one year.

    Best warmth-to-size ratio sleeping bag?

    Buy one of the army sleep systems. I use a (Dutch?) bivvy bag, a tiny vango mummy bag and a liner which seems to work well however no idea what the temp drop it has gone to is. Also check what you sleep on as that where the cold is coming from.

    How many pockets have you?

    LOL true! Cargo trousers are in fashion at the moment however finding a brand that fits you is a nightmare. I would love to meet the person they are modelled from as my knees are in a much different position to theirs. On a different thread, Broch was recommending Percussion beaters/hunting...

    jacket recomendations?

    I think we need more information? My go to is a Regatta anorak which was about £80 and is waterproof. I like the layer system so warm and breathable are handled by other layers. Greencraft on youtube has a good series on bushcraft on a budget.

    Buy once/ last a lifetime / indestructible clothing

    Tailored fit trousers... I have no idea who they are sized for? Also they are advertised by footballers so I apparently have more developed calves than a professional athlete! I think there is a big problem with so called fast fashion and quality.

    Habitat with most odds off obtaining all your wild food needs in the U.K.

    I believe the healthiest human who ever lived was Ötzi. The big problem with wild food is carbs.

    How many pockets have you?

    I think it was the 1920's that saw the end of the pockets for women. Check out the molle vests like the Dutch vest as that seems the answer.
