I bought a big knife after watching Sidney Poitier in the 1988 film Deadly Pursuit, seeing Tom Berenger with an early Gerber BMF, they were simpler times then : )

Some very neat and tidy work there, liking it a lot : )

@Mesquite Cheers man : )

The velcro makes hell of noise, so, for silent opening the option would be to cover the velcro on the inside flap closure, then run some shock cord through the pull loop on the flap closure and around the bottom of the pouch, a pull tap stitched to the bottom of the looped shock cord to make...

I did have a go at making my own sort of Tac Tie with 25mm strap and ladder lock, it didnt work very well and realised why Maxpeditions Tac Tie is the way it is : )

Over the years have collected a few AA Mini Maglites, upgraded LEDs, reflectors, re charge batterys and some with tail clicky switchs, they have proved reliable and simple to deal with, though sometimes having em rattle around in a pack isnt helpful, the original Maglite pouch is showing its...

Thanks, it turned out ok, far cry from the Aliens pulse rifle which was the intended idea : )

A wilki knife I got as an unfinished blade, made leather sheath for it and mounted to a molle drop panel, altered some straps off an Alice pack with the closure snaps to make handle retainer, that was some years back. Today altered a surplus pouch, grenade pouch I think ? to fix to the sheath...

A pump action space blaster thing, made from scraps of beech wood, made in seperate layers, shaped, routered and glued together, with a couple of mags

Ive used old sleep foam mats, cut into small strips and inserted with double sided sticky tape, padded out my carry pouch for my binos. Have made little fine parachute nylon pockets and put various foams inside, these then velcro on to the loop velcro in my pouchs for padding out

Apart from maybe using silicone gel sachets, or even the re usable ones, I used to keep my little Cannon compacts in Otter boxes, or little Peli boxs when not in use for any length of time, chuck in a couple silicone sachets, it was mainly to keep the stuff dry from the Knoydart weather : )

Ordered some shiny new bobbin wheels, a bobbin backlash spring and 5mtre of neoprene rubber strip 10mm x 12mm, only wanted a metre so if anyone needs some

Was a frequent visitor to BB forum, learned so much from the many threads, IR Bailey did a few picture threads on his knife making, I would study his pics on how he made leather sheaths, then go away source bits and have a go. Basemetal did some hill walks with pics, there was a bit of...

Have used inks on leather and nylon to dye stuff as its what I had on hand, used the black grime from a worn bike chain, that stuff stains and doesnt seem to wash out

Pics seem to work on my PC, hope they work for you. The 5.11 add ons are fitted using a number of the ITW Nexus buckles, ladder locks for both back and front mounting, a small length of 25mm web strap, buckles and ladder locks was added to the web hook on the front pouch. Have been running...
