Just picked up me missing pouch off nice chap on eBay . All sorted now

Lovely Martin. What pouches are the dpm ones I read they don’t fit? I need to source one side pocket

Few better pics here very happy with it. I need to google the load bearing straps the ones at the top of the shoulder straps. Never noticed them on other bags. Not sure what they achieve

Picked one of these up today for a tenner. I get the the feeling there’s a new one and an older type of these. This is definitely an older type and the chap I got it off said it has a lot of history this particular bag. Only has one rocket pouch but I see a few online. Has some nifty one hand...

Hi yes sorry imgur where the pictures are have just blocked uk which is very unhelpful. Have to find some where else

Yes very pleased with it. Seemed solid and zips worked well. Plus I had bit of head room which was god send. It’s in west wales clem

Ear buds are a good idea I like the sound of rain and bit of wind but the tarp was slapping hard. Might use poncho next time less to flap. I could just got out the weather but part of the fun of that spot is nice high view. My first night out as the weather starts to change and I feel the cold...

Tested the Dutch army last night very happy with it. Can see the elan heading for eBay Paired it with medium army sleeping bag and what maybe a 35s mat not sure. Got it on Vinted for a fiver. Been rolled up in attic for years. But quick few puffs off me it now inflates on its own like a good...

Yes looks like a trail lite. I did have one but sold it for 35 on ebay

Thanks for the info folks I will give it a go. I have a trangia 25 but it’s a different ball game and size

So I recently picked up the canteen set. The stove the cup thing the water canteen. Slightly puzzled how you use it all. So you heat up your curry in the mug. You want cup of coffee so you could boil the water in the canteen but if it’s full you’re going to have to boil the lot when you only...

That was very precise thank you

I picked up this bag today it ozzes character. Been googling to find what it is but no luck. What’s the best way to spruce it up the canvas and leather. It’s got water proof pouch inner. Looking forward to stuffing me bivy and sleeping bag in it.

That’s good idea I was thinking of sewing up a sheet but sure we got few single quilt covers laying around. I will swipe one when Mrs ain’t looking

Yes just tested mine in front room and apart from being bit to snug I dread to think if I start swapping sides I can see it getting right twist on. Shame because it would be handy to keep bag clean plus add bit warmth

So bivy army medium bag which if the sticker is to be believed only washed once by me. Bought army sleeping bag liner to keep it clean but it’s bit tight to be honest. So not sure weather to bother or make one out of a sheet or find bigger one. What’s thoughts on liners ?

Been doing the bivi lark and getting that sussed but picked up a dd hammock so last night off I went. First ten minutes I thought dam this is comfy then I started getting a niggle in the back tried going on my side which was gymnastic feat in its self. 2 hours later still struggling. Put my...

Cheers toddy I think that’s the way I will go to. Don’t want be wrestling with it in compression sack for ages. See if I can get knack of squashing it down in bag tidy. Cracking bag like new looking forward to tomorrow

Going to try the hammock tomorrow night. Jungle bag was bit cold last trip out in the bivi so got winter bag stuffed in the rucksack. It took bit of stuffing but doable. The compression sacks worth the money ? Saying that might just wrap in bivi and strap on outside maybe

Need to figure run time on tank fuel. Might be worth just filling up and take for over nighter It’s got some uumph
