    ex army sleeping bags

    I once survived -20°C in that british army arctic sleeping bag but it was a bit cold for me (with bivi bag). It's comfortable downto -10°C for me. But maybe because that bag is a bit too wide for me (I am tall and quite thin). And it's quite bulky, even when compressed - it takes much space in...

    The Tatra mountains

    Sorry if my message sounded like I would be angry or what, my english isn't that good :) You mean that man with a bear costume? I saw one in Hrebienok, he was just smoking a cigarette, that was funny :D But you need to pay if you want to have a picture with him :deal: We have a lot of...

    The Tatra mountains

    Communis and things like that ended after 1989 (and our own state was formed in 1993) here, now we are a completely free country. I don't remember any communism, I was born in 1987 so I was too young at that time. We are in European Union now and our laws are identical to other western...

    Rucksack capacity?

    I was always a bit sceptical over WebTex... I have the genuine Bergen longback version, cost me only 70 Euro with sidepockets and yoke (in great shape, I had luck on eBay). I really like this rucksack. I was using the ALICE Medium rucksack before I had the Bergen, but the ALICE was a horrible...

    Rucksack capacity?

    Some of my friends are using the LK35 (because they are available cheap at slovakian armyshops here). They even managed to pack everything for a 5 day trip, it's a magical rucksack :) And I had a 120l Bergen and that was just enough for me - the bigger rucksack you have, the more you are...

    Cheap and good knives

    You can see my friend's green mora clipper on the picture I posted. I like the clipper sheath more, but the knife itself is missing the hole for a cord (and that saved my knife from loosing several times). I would like to have a combination of a clipper sheath and SWAK knife...

    Cheap and good knives

    I also see that plastic loop as a weak point. That's the same on the green "SWAK" knife from Mora, my brother broke it after some days, and mine is crooked. Gaffer tape saved the plastic sheath for now. I would advise making a custom leather sheath... Here you can see the SWAK (my picture...

    The Tatra mountains

    Ok - a bit late reply, but I just found this thread (and I haven't been here for a year or so). I live in a small city quite near the High Tatra mountains, you can see a view of our city and the mountains: The picture has a bit strange perspective - it looks like there are no woods arround...

    japanese sharpening stone OR gransfors

    Ok, thanks for the answers. :You_Rock_ So I will buy the japanese waterstone - that's what I wanted, but I wasn't sure. The KING waterstones aren't that expensive, I think I can get one for about 30 Euro with shipping. I will sharpen the knives/axe at home, so I don't need special small...

    japanese sharpening stone OR gransfors

    Hi folks, I haven't been here since a long time. I have one simple question - I need a sharpening stone, but something that would be good for sharpening my Mora knife and a Gransfors axe. I was thinking about a waterstone. Now I was thinking about two solutions: >> a combination (1000/6000)...

    Swedish rucksack (military)

    Ok, that's exactly what I need. The radiostation I want to put in, is about 30cm's. That should fit... Now I need to find out how to lead out the antenna out of the rucksack. I will make some pictures, may be you can tell me if it is possible.

    My new SWAK, and SWAK discussion

    I received my Mora knives some days ago (from Rob Williams, a great deal!). I bought them because of the many positive messages on this forum about these knives. I ordered two SWAK (high-carbon) and for my friend one Clipper (also high carbon). They are sharp as a razor blade! You won't find a...

    HIGHLANDER Forces 88L -rucksack

    What is your experience with the Highlander Forces 88 litre rucksack? Is the fabric used on this bag good enough?(XTP Fabric) I don't want a rucksack that will fall apart after few trips. But I don't have the money for the expensive rucksacks (like my favorite Kifaru :super: ) Because it...

    Swedish rucksack (military)

    I found only the 40l (or 35l?) version. Do you know where I could buy the 75l version, and how much does it cost? Could you post some pictures?
