Yeah it has knots for tarps and tents + configurations for tarps its actually rather good and comprehensive

try looking on Wikipedia or google usually doesnt fail

yeah looked up the yoyo reel on eBay interesting but i prefer to carry a travel rod.

Its also known as 'Travler's joy', latin name is clematis vitalba.

The stuff Kev gave us at Bawdeswell was Usnea

 

[RAPPLEBY2000]

it ain't Clematis mate ,(though i guess it looks quite similar)
"Usnea" is part of the latin name i need.

BTW I know where there's a lot of wild clematis 2" + thick if anyone wants some.

been sorting out some of my display stuff for my demos, some blummen insect has eaten some of the tinder fungi! :yikes:
it's now in my freezer (apparently it kills them).

had a shock today, our neighbour died, my wife and I helped as much as we could with CPR holding bits of kit for the paramedics etc but he was too far gone.

Yeah, it's properly "new" kit even for the US!
I've spoken to US guy's living in similar temperate areas and they say Multi-cam won't work so well in the UK as it's very light, but the new British army camo looks very similar.
it's all to do with reflecting the surrounding colours? I've seen some really poor examples of it though.

 

[launditch1]

Isnt the british army now in line to be issued new camo?

 

[RAPPLEBY2000]

the new British army camo looks very similar.

Yeah it looks almost identical to Multicam, which is starting to be issued to US troops.
the US multicam (left) and the British (Right)

they were doing trials with this known as PECOC

but it seems they're going with this instead:

but to be fare the advertising hype is quite convincing! check out the photos!
