Not the "Bushcraft Uniform"

[Wayland]

OK, just for fun and out of interest.

What bits of gear do you use that are definitely not part of the "Bushcraft Uniform?"

Let's see some of those unique solutions that people have come up with.


I'm going to start the ball rolling with the milk bottle lamp.

An idea given to me by Craig at a Scottish meet a few years back.

Purple vintage Karrimor Alpiniste Rucsack !

I'm kinda fond of Kevlar.

 

[helixpteron]

Oooh!

I'd love to know/see more of that gorgeous canoe!

 

[Zammo]

Oooh!

Your have to wine and dine it first.

Is there much call for bullet proof canoes in Michigan?

 

[Barney]

If there is, you just turn turtle and crawl out of there

I do something similar Rik, but leave the "wings" on...

If hung on a short cord, with its back to the wind, it will turn to stay out of the wind.

I have similar lanterns in the garden, a clear win bottle with the bum knocked out of it put the candle inside but the bottle right way up

I know most of the USA citizens are armed, I just did'nt realise the Ducks were too!!
Must make duck hunting season a little more interesting i guess , bit cowardly to hide behind your armoured Canoe....

Its not the ducks - it the bear. Don't you know that in the states it is a Consitutional right to arm bears.

Hoodoo, that's a lovely canoe!

Anyway, back to Wayland's question.

I have a pair of Asda secateurs (spl) amongst my cutting tools. £1.20 and a lot less conspicuous than an axe and quicker than a saw on smallish stuff.

You what? I have seen the bottom of a pint glass a few times... New one on me!!!

 

[Native Nathan]

I have a Hi Vis yellow fleece with refelctor strips around the body and arms, very hard not to be missed.

I normally wear it under my Soldier 95 combat jacket, thery being if i need to rescued i wear it without the jacket to make it easier for the rescue party to see me.

 

[spamel]

Helicopter marker panels in my kit, very much for the same reason of making life easier for finding me or for me to find my place after a bimble in dense woodland. I've put it on my car in the past as a meeting point indicator, there are loads of blue Zafiras out there, not many with a bright orange marker panel strapped acrossd the windscreen!
