Lovely looking set up. I was jealously thinking "well we can't all have that kind of money to spend" but then I realised that I have probably spent double what that lot cost over the years buying crap and less suitable stuff (not that I have many regrets). I think If I had access to some nearby woodland that I could fully utilize I might switch to similar stuff. Sadly I have no where local that I can have many wood fires or make much in the way of shelters hence the need for more modern kit.

Cheers, I get a fiver a week pocket money, then Christmas and birthday presents, so I just save up- it's strange how it all accumulates! :)

As for the land, I reckon you could get permission, or you could even attend meets where you can do it but it's organised already :).

Cheers mate!

I'd say go for it as soon as you can, one of the best, if not the best, things I ever bought, I went as high as a kite the first time I got my hands on it, it's really special and I'm sure you'll love it! :)

Very nice gear, Cameron. Nice to know you use it too. I'm in the process of making my own canvas day pack to go with my range of pouches.

Thanks, lads. I appreciate the vote of confidence, Cameron. I'm in the process of moving to an actual workshop, but with a bit of luck I might get it done in a couple of weeks. I'm having withdrawals at the moment; I havn't made anything in a week! :O

Fantastic set of gear, very well chosen. You have almost piqued my interest in the Daniel Boone style kit. Very tactile, functional and gorgeous to observe. Congratulations on your fine collection.
