Hi So unable to find a fancy feast tin in the UK i used a small tin from aldi that contained tuna and sauce. Tin is steel rather than aluminum if that makes a difference. Punched one row of holes as that's all was I able to do with the puny paper puncher I have, so maybe 16 total...

Hi Got a bit of a bonus so looking to buy a new sleeping bag,currently using the British army artic bag but I'm sick of lugging it around. Also have changed rucksacks to a Highlander 33ltr for overnighters, this is down from a 65ltr so the sleeping bag has to fit the smaller bag,I'm...

Hi I remember having a Swiss army style knife fork spoon combo back in my youth and would like to get one again. Seems it's all about sporks these days but I would prefer a proper kfs,a small sharp knife included would be a bonus also. Only ones I can see are from China and I'm not...
