As for the bits im missing, im looking around for a well priced crusader mug with a lid, im looking at a couple of fold up stoves and im looking to get a couple of bits of tarp.

It needs a rejig, im not sure im too keen on the 2 pouches on the outside so if i can readjust and do away with them i will, however im currently up in scotland approximately 530 miles from my other bits n bobs so that has to wait.

If anyone can suggest ditching stuff or bits ive missed then im very open to criticism!

Picked a goretex 95 dpm print brand new off a surplus stall on York market for £30 all the eBay stores seem to be knocking on £45...

I'm just not impressed with the hood drawstring arrangement im scared of snapping the lace in it

Not a bad price, ill check my local boot sale and surplus for them. Them drawstrings also seem to be angle to hang in your face no matter how you arrange the bag...

I recently picked up one of these: http://www.militarymart.co.uk/index.php ... ct_id=1897 at the carboot, I think of it as the common mans Dave Canterbury Pretty solid bit of kit tbh.


Thats not a scandi grind on the big knife is it?

Nice kit. As you say, a couple more additions and you're all set.

Another vote for the French Army canteen set here too. Although in my current "72 hour" bag I am just using a poundshop aluminium bottle. I have a hydration bladder backpack, water filter and purification tablets to cover all the bases!

Washkit! Noted, i have a bagged up washkit kicking around, ill simplify it and find space.
Its not scandi no its convex, im trying to get into carving so it had some pretty heavy use lopping through some pine and birch and then more actually carving, and without any touching up its edge is still very sharp, so sharp if i slipped it could probably nip my finger quite badly... probably
