Does anybody know the difference between the standard and Pro versions of these tents? AliExpress isn't much help

Here is the next edition of my rucksack cull, a black version of the Lowe Alpine Sting,ade by Awry for the Dutch armed forces. It's in issued condition so has some marks and scratches but no tears. There is an additional compression strap that has been added at some point, this has the grey...

I am looking for a Sabre 45, one of the newer ones in brown or green that don't have black buckles ideally. I can swap for a foliage grey camelback Talon, or have a few decent knives etc. If someone has one they are looking to get rid of send me a message and we can sort something out

Continuing with my clear out my Mystery Ranch 2DAP is up for the chop. https://www.mysteryranch.com/2-day-assault-pack?quantity=1&color=Foliage These are great bags, very well thought out and bomb proof construction and materials. I just don't get to use this enough and need to clear some room...

Here is my M65 jacket up for sale as part of my slow clear out of gear that doesn't get used enough. It is size large but these come up big, it's more like XL. There are a few light smudges on it that weren't there before I washed it so I assume they are soap residue. I will put it through the...

I have a black Dutch Sting with side pouches, issued but in very good condition, with a Berg buckle mod on the belt that I would like to swap for a Sabre 45 in green or coyote, the newer model without the black buckles ideally. Anyone interested?

Not quite bushcraft but somewhat adjacent. I work airside and have to bring food in through airport security like getting on a plane, I also have a long commute by public transport. I am looking for some alternatives to change up my lunch options as noodles and tofu are getting a bit boring. Is...

Just in case anybody is feeling flush... This is the first version of the Ute rucksack made by Hill People Gear in the US. Here is a link to the current model: https://hillpeoplegear.com/Products/CategoryID/3/ProductID/10 It is a very well made, very high quality rucksack with an extremely...

I have here a very nice example of the Arwy Sting rucksack copied from Lowe Alpine for the Dutch army. I bought it as a Grade 1 very recently and have not had a chance to take it out of the house since. I include the two pictured MTP PLCE side pouches and one Dutch one in DPM. It's in lovely...

Has anybody added a replacement hip belt to a LA Sting? The existing one is sewn in and the only way I can see of attaching an alternative would be via the velcro flap that covers the back adjustment. I just don't see how the load would transfer properly as it is quite loose Sent from underground

Does anybody know where I can get some of the stretchy mesh fabric that they use on rucksacks for bottle pockets and things? I only want a metre or so for a project but don't really know what it is called which is hampering my search. I have found a lot of the really thin stuff for dressmaking...

It looks like wild camping is back on the menu on Dartmoor after an appeal against the earlier ruling: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jul/31/wild-camping-dartmoor-court-appeal Sent from underground

I have had this at the back of my cupboard for years so it is time it moved on to a new home. I received this in a trade about 10 years ago I reckon and seem to remember that it was made by a recognised maker but can't remember who, and the blade has no makers mark so assume it's unbranded. The...

I took advantage of the weather a short while ago and spent my first night in a hammock. I had a lovely evening and slept really well, waking up to birdsong at dawn. It was a much needed break from the 9 to 5 Sent from underground

I like to get up early at weekends and yesterday was no different. There is a nature reserve near me that is being gradually transformed from a pine plantation to an inland bog through conservation grazing. The wildlife trust use different animals to eat different vegetation in order to allow a...

I finally got around to carrying out a modification to my Victorinox German army knife and wanted to share it with you. I love this knife and always take it with me to the woods but it has niggles at me that the awl would be a lot more useful with a hole in it, that way it can be used to sew...

Hi all. I have been reading a lot of the threads on here and thought it was time to register. I getting back in to a bit of woods camping after a hiatus having previously been more regular. Great to meet you all, ta!
