The triffid's been added to wish list and shall be keeping a close eye on the price

In the meantime something for us more budget conscious peasants to ponder.
My airsofting neighbor is going through a stage of MOLLE madness at the moment and was showing off their new P90 magazine pouch (right). On the left is your classic Laplander saw in a normal size ammo pouch for comparison.

Seems like these P90 pouches may be a good size for the larger Silkyboy folding saws and are priced temptingly at under a tenner.

That might be the very thing for my f180.
Where might I be directed to purchase such belt/saw/combo- based delights?

Perhaps I need a thread - HAVE I FOUND A BARGAIN.

Does anyone know just how badly knackered these are likely to be?

Dunna fret! For ten quid I can just cut off all the buckles, maybe save some webbing and I’m happy.
If I get a rucksack out of it that’s one hell of a bonus.

I’ve ordered one!

Hells Bells!!!!
I’ve got a Bergen for £10.(£13.50 Inc p&p)
The waist strap has been cut off, (can’t imagine why) and the zip in the top cover won’t quite go across (yet) but otherwise I could use it right now. It was for storing and carrying my tipi but it’s worth more than that. Obviously no side pockets at that price so I don’t know whether those zips work.

I wish I needed a sleeping bag. They are selling Grade2 British Military bags for £15.

I’ve had a G2 type 98 bag with crush sack for decades. It’s the backup for my Snugpak. It came with its bivvie bag and I use that all the time.

A few cigarette burns but I’ve used it for years and it’s served me well.
The Snpack zip bust twice. This burger won’t!

pee ess - I am neither religious, superstitious nor squeamish. I hope that “PM” and “MR” are happy retired old soldiers.
