I spent the weekend up in the woods - but this time with a twist ...
Everything I had as personal kit (and some of the communal kit) was of my own manufacture - or at minimum had some input from me ....
Examples of this - the meths stoves I used were made from beer cans - the wind shields were made from beer cans or an old billycan: My medical/1st Aid/hygiene kits were full of purchased kit but the pouches were made by me ...
My Ax and E-tool were handled by me and the covers were by me but the blades were only shaped and sharpened by me...
You get the idea![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
The only kit I used that had no input from me were my head torch (I should have used the candle I made) and my undercrackers! - the boxers (thai silk) that I had made were made when I was 7 stone heavier and no longer fit!Load out
