OI!!Wake up...

Got a copy of 'band of brothers' that im now working through...The drop into Normandy was terrifying

 

[RAPPLEBY2000]

eeeey!

I remember watching that, it was blummin good!
some of the stuff those guys went through

the part I remember most is the woods in the snow!
It's amazing to think anyone survived at all.

I've just finished tinkering with my large ALICE pack(real one) put some fastex buckles on it etc, I still reckon they're a decent bag!

also been playing with some Arktis webbing that was gathering dust, just have one pouch to find (which I lent to a friend ).

Havent got to that bit yet.Its funny..i used to watch loads of war movies when i was younger and i have to say that they never used to affect me like they do now...

went to visit mums yesterday, in her back garden (20ft away) we saw 50 odd birds, a rabbit, a squirrel and a muntjack!

nice place!

 

[launditch1]

Hello!We will organise a meet up sometime!.....

 

[RAPPLEBY2000]

Hi, Yup probably after the new year, you're every welcome to join us!

 

[kINGPIN]

Sounds good. Just been reading the Urban/extreme/uber bushcraft thread, made me chuckle. When I'm out and abot I do everything I can to not be seen, (especially when I have a fire on the go). Would be good to see how other people do things.

erm...normally I camp very carefully out of view! I've chosen most of my gear to be camouflaged to a degree (i.e. green), and stuff like making a drink with metal tins can be noisy, I can show you how to be very quiet, and well hidden!

 

[launditch1]

They all laughed at me!!
'Why do you keep buying that old army gear?',they said...

Thursday morning.Snow.No power.Niiigee..Have you got a camping cooker or something to boil water

Why yes,as it happens..amongst all this stupid army gear that i buy!

MOD tea is an aquired taste im guessing
