You got to have some narrow / skinny feet for Merrells. Looks like a camelbak sippy tube coming out from under that lid. Did you happen to notice if his hat had the obligatory OR logo?

Roger that on the 'hydration system tube' but in 'civvy' blue so he looses points for that...
Unknown on the hat logo as it's not a Tilley he's not British or Canadian... But I like the way he has it sinched with the cord at the rear...
Yep lots of very flat wide feet here as we run around a lot with no shoes on. Merrell's last is quite narrow. I've been after some Merrell Sawtooths but they dont bring em in over here...
Trip out to a fallen tree on a path leading up to a moor in the peak district last week. I used the crusader as a bag for climbing equipment. Very comfy.
Great work Cliff. Thanks for posting the photos and I'm really enjoying this thread.
Nice one.

Another fan of the ALICE here, great to use as a summer pack. Last year at the Wilderness Gathering there was a guy selling them for £10 a pop! Wish Id have picked up a couple now as quite a few members are after them.
Pocket on the base of main pooch , handy for bivi poles
Muddy gets bonus points for having "the watch", a G-Shock. Very hard wearing and way up on the "tacticool" ladder.

Man, Chainsaw,Bergen, wilderness....
Time for a couple of mods 
One of the problems with the earlier Berghaus range is the waist belt is made for racing snakes so I made up this belt extention ,
One of the things I want when I pack my bergen is all my days rations to hand after seeing a couple of handy pouchs on Neils vulcan at the weekend I went hunting for something similer The Dutch Military use a moduler vest with about five different size poochs fitted to suit there needs ...ideal for my needs to, theses as far as I know are the largest size , All my days cook kit in one , small eagle kettle ( when I get one ) trangia triangle , brew kit in one , the lunch food and snacks in the other 
Fitted with a snow lock for extra security ,
Happy days

Because of this thread, I spent about two hours trying on civvy packs on Tuesday. Wow, some things have changed since I purchased my last large pack. Mind I haven't been able to carry weight over 25 lbs since 2000. I definetly noticed the "racing snake" trend. I reckon I could cut back my ration intake but it is not too dfficult to have some belt mods done.
Heck, for most of the US issue rucks, you can purchase a waist extender for the belt.All my days cook kit in one , small eagle kettle ( when I get one ) trangia triangle , brew kit in one , the lunch food and snacks in the other
Bonus points for you Cliff. That is "old sweat" belt order indoctrination. :notworthy

Love that Cliff! So you are having a play as an 81 MM mortar maggot about to inflict some "high angle hell".

A bit of "white phos" to give the lads some cover during the advance ,,,,,,,,,( points to note , smoke dont cover you from enemy fire :yikes

Cliff,
You'll have to buy yourself some greenies fill em with sand and chuck em in the Crusader for 'old times' sake....
Or get one of these http://www.deactivated-guns.co.uk/detail/L1A1.htm
It would make a good basha pole......
