Re: EDC for a hightened security area?

Now i'm not the kind that'll bow down or stay indoors because of some moron who wants to kill a load of people. Re-evaluating the terrorist shooting in Paris, i now include a proper First Field Dressing on me at all times - If i get shot, i get shot, but i at least want to stop the bleading. I also ...

The only method of comms that will get through the toughtest of conditions. Learning morse is one thing but being able to RX it more than 5wpm is another....

Re: What's your situation?

Gone through rough times recently, lost a house (various reasons) and now down to my pension only for income.

Haix are a good functional boot that are comfortable in urban and rural terrain, as well as coping well with long distances, but as with all boots - your feet and the boot have to be broken in well. I have a pair and got them Grade 1 used from an army surplus store for £30 - If your getting a used p...

DMS - Shock absorbancy was next to zero and promoted injuries such as bruised heel - Toe cap wasn't subtle enough - Insole insulation and ventilation we zero - Made a great parade boot though.
