Hello All

[gliderrider]

Hello all.
My names Syd, and I've been interested in bushcraft and the outdoors for about 20 years, since I was a boy scout in the late 1980's. I'm out predominantly in the peak district, though occasionally I travel further afield when I have the time & money.

Normally I carry an Osprey daysack with
Dry Foods, Chocalate/Mint Cake, Harribo
Stove(normally a Jetboil PCS)
2Ltr hydration bladder
1Ltr SIGG Type Bottle
1Pint Metal Mug
Latte/Mocha Sachets
Laplander Saw
2 Season Sleeping Bag
Surplus Gore Tex Bivi Bag
Basha & Bungee's
15M Para/550 Cord
Fishing kit
NATO KFS Set
Basic wash kit and life systems 1.5m square towel
and a First Aid kit

Having said that, I have recently been adding a few kilo's of rocks when I've been going out in preparation for doing a lot of long distance walking from the spring.

Clothing & kit on me, I normally have
Magnum Boots
Surplus Lightweight Trousers
Paramo Mountain Pull On or Gambia Sport Zip, depending on the weather
Paramo Alta2 Jacket
Bridgedale Endurance Trekker
OS 1;25,000 Laminated Map
Silver Type 4/54
Mora Clipper
Gerber DET
Survival Tin
Turbo Flame lighter

Well, thats me & my gear.
