Thank you all for resolving this without any mods having to jump in
Sounds like a misunderstanding which has now been resolved

A useful learning point for us all perhaps - me included
Always make sure you read the feeling of the post as well as the words themselves

Nice load of kit there, anyone would be proud of that lot and want to show it off.

Yeah no hard feelings to anyone :). Glad you like the kit! :)

What kind of boots are they?, i liked the tin? cup too adds character.

They are Lundhags Forest boots mate- a great boot! I really rate them- solid bit of kit :). The different tinderboxes are the Hudsons bay tinderbox, fur trapper tinderbox and an english tinderbox - they are all on Shark Designs website- where I bought mine from :). The different kuksa's are really nice to drink from yeah, nice to hold too - don't get hot like titanium, Ali or even steel does :).

When I were a lad, us didn't have rucksacks, we had to make do with paper bags and bits of string .......

Ignore the negativity and make the most of your life, it's the only one you have got. Some of us oldsters do get a bit grouchy at times.

I wouldn't mind some of that kit myself, but I'd never be able to carry it all these days.

Ah cheers mate! That means a lot, thank you :).

It's a Le Chameau one I got in trade from Macaroon on here, last time I looked it up by searching la chameau gilet I think (I hope :eek:) that works as I don't know the name :D. it's a lovely bit of kit- one of my most worn bits now I think. If in doubt try a PM to Mac I think he might be able to tell you a bit more than me- hope that helps some :).

Haha cheers mate, the perks of being young eh, might have to get myself a Sherpa soon ;).
 
Now that is some serious gear porn!

To the naysayers: Come on! This is a kit forum! Looking at other people's set ups is always fascinating.

Thank you Cameron for the show and tell - nice photographs of some cracking kit...

I have both of your packs - the Frost River Nessmuk, I had customised with two long pouches on each side, with sleeves behind the pouches.

I also have a Joel de Lorme Nessmuk - my main skinning knife.
