The bergen that you linked to is a copy of an issue item called the Field Pack, Air Support. If you are still interested in this item, there is another copy here in OG that is considerably cheaper: http://www.nicks-kit.co.uk/pathfinder-bag---green-9922-p.asp I suspect that this one is made by...

Hi Pignut, I would be interested and willing to travel, work situation and finances permitting, on a regular basis or not.

Make that +2. I recently ordered 2 pairs of the SFU trousers, black twill and coyote ripstop. The coyote pair seem fine, the black pair have a strip of velcro that is only stitched on 2 sides, on the right leg map pocket. But I'm left handed, so it shouldn't be a problem. I will also big up the...

Fair's fair, you and the other fellers got a bargain because I posted a heads up, and I wouldn't have done that had I not been at home sick and not getting paid. So £15 each should sort it, less if other members admit to buying one ;)

It's a book for scouts rather than bushcrafters, and has chapters on fitness and diet, and spirituality. I've read some of Rays books, among others, and I learnt some new things from Bear. The book covers all climates where relevant. For example, the section on first aid covers heatstroke and...

I think they should give me some comission then lol.

The main criticisms that I have read are that it's a bergen in the military sense, and therefore designed to be worn with a beltkit. That's not a problem if you're quite short, or wear a beltkit. The other is that the fabric is only 5 or 6 hundred denier, and much thinner that on, say, a PLCE...

I'm happy that someone has benefitted. Not an honest thing to do in my opinion either, but I wasn't actually considering it, just joking about it. The point was about the sloppy work by FedEx.

Dragon supplies have been mentioned a few times in this thread, but on ARRSE the preferred supplier of bespoke beltkit is Troopers of Colchester. Troopers finally have a website that lets you build a set online to see how long the pad will be and how much it will cost. They also offer OD and...

Actually, I never technically received it. FedEx left it with a neighbour, and didn't even leave a card to say so. Maybe I should contact the supplier and my bank and just get a full refund.

Millets are selling the Snugpak Bergen online for £50! I paid £77 +p&p for mine last week, and I'm gutted lol.

Just looked further through the catalogue, it would seem you don't have a Predator, you have a version called the Field Pack. The Predator has "Karrimor SF" embroidered on the lid front, and "Predator PATROL" beneath the front PALS webbing. The Field Pack has a velcro patch on the lid front, and...

The waist belt can be concealed, are you sure there isn't one fitted? I've just looked at the Karrimor catalogue, and that shows the Predator in MTP with a waist belt.

It's traditionally a poor dish, so feel free to use any other meat. See my post above, and enjoy.

According to Wikipedia: "In the 18th and 19th centuries Liverpool, being a major seaport, found itself inundated with foreign seamen, especially Norwegians, looking for a berth on any ship. There is still a Scandinavian Seamen's Church in Liverpool built in the 19th century.[1] Scandinavian...

I've just had a couple of bowls of lobby, a traditional Staffordshire dish, and can't find any mention of it on the site, so I thought I'd share the recipe. Serves 4 450g/1lb stewing or braising steak - fat removed and cut into small chunks A handful pearl barley (optional) 1...

I'll second that, thank you to all who contributed.

Hello everyone, Ffin72 is the name I was allocated in Star Wars Galaxies and the year I was born. I've always been interested in the outdoors lifestyle, but work and play have often distracted me. I did a few years with the TA in my early twenties, but there's been a fairly long period of...
