Bugger, missed another one!

I'm a big fan of the 5.11 shirts, I use the cotton tactical ones in both long and short sleeve version. Bit heavy for jungle work where the traverse would be better. The pockets on the tactical though are imense.

i could have come, but didn't read my message !! July I'll be away I think

Good to meet you all, sorry to have missed swallow, try again next time. Got back to office and found the printer overflowing with pictures, ...... with almost no toner on them! Hey ho

Wed I think is best for my medication!

Nice rep guys, inspires me, hope it does same for others. Glad you like the Sawyer, looking to get one too as my filter has no facility for back flushing.

Thanks for that description. If that is typical of Dengue then I'm 98% sure thats not what I had despite its early symptematic similarities. Pretty scarey to have that whilst abroad I should think.

No photos specifically of kit, unfortunately, there is a link to Borneo images on the "almost fatal in Borneo" post which show the hammock set up. I did start a spoon in mahogany....... damn that's a hard wood !!! Thanks for reading.

For those who were interested I a kit review: I've posted a what worked what didn't thread http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=120333

This is just about what was worthy of note and what I thought you might be interested in. Bergen: Berghuas Crusader 90-120 Can't complain with this bag. Its split main compartment enabled me to pull out tarp and hammock from the bottom without disturbing other stuff stored above it. This made...

Yea, I was unsure when I first tried it. However once the snake skin is on, it packs easily into the compression sack. Even better when it comes to setting up, nothing touches the ground and creepy crawlies cant easily get in when your out and about.

Okay smoky here's a few, hope they work. I'll do another post for kit. "Jungle kit experiences" since some worked, some didn't and others were OK but .... https://www.dropbox.com/s/npi8vrzp4nrdvhb/P1030806.JPG https://www.dropbox.com/s/ous0prns0i3thsu/P1030840.JPG...

Swallow: I looked at adding a couple of pictures, but the tool button seemed to want a URL link. Is there another way?

Gosh what a lot of replies! Thanks guys for the comments and support. I loved the jungle environment and would go back tomorrow if I could. I've been told the army don't do jungle expeditions of more than 2 weeks because of the risk of runaway infections reducing combat effectiveness. I'm...

I cant believe that it has been a year since I came onto this forum looking for Burgan advice for a rough camp Pennine walk, and got lost in the threads, ending up in Borneo. Truth is that it was a long held ambition of mine to get into virgin jungle rain forest before it's all lost to the...

oh bugger missed another!

Hi, yep still here, how yer doing. got my dd frontline hammock: yet to field try. Junglie boots: wearing in nicely. Burghaus "Crusader" 80-120: seems comfortable enough at 25Kg for a few hours. Its my legs that have sufferd too many years of sedentry use since the hip and pelvic injuries, so...

Mine arrived today. Very excited..1st hammock so we all tried it hung up in the hallway. Not all at once though! Many thanks again for taking the time and trouble Morfy

payment sent many thanks for organising, you're a star MORFY

there are quite a few guides on the net from the various manufacturers and those who like to share their experiences, God bless em. I went through this process a few months ago. My own issue was that I have a slightly more pronounced curve to my spine and wondered if that would make a...
