Re: The law and the go bag
To be honest, I carry it because it makes me feel a bit reassured. I had a night in Dublin once but I didn't plan my 24hr visit very well, I froze on the street all night after I spent all my money on a bus ticket and beer. Also, I got snowed in at my uncles house in South Wales once. I also got stu...

Re: The law and the go bag
I'm confused then - they're not on the banned list, so it's clearly ok to buy them and use them in certain circumstances. But but then it says "Lock knives (knives with blades that can be locked when unfolded) are not folding knives, and are illegal to carry in public." So, I'm allowed to ...

Re: The law and the go bag
Thanks chaps! Yeah, the parang is a bit of a camping luxury. It's the compact one, fits into my backpack easily. I thought it would come in handy to make kindling for camp fires, either by chopping bits off, or shaving bark from high trees. But I've not even tried it because I'm scared to get it out...

The law and the go bag
Right, so I'm sure this has come up before, but I have a concern about the practice of carrying my 'go-bag' with me places. As you'd imagine, everything is in there that I could ever imagine coming in handy (it's continually growing) and this includes some fairly dangerous and anti-social kit. I've ...

Hiya!
Hi, I've been working on an emergencygobagslashfamilycampingkit - I'm really enjoying getting my stuff together. But I'm still learning and would like to make this kind of stuff more of a hobby. I found the site just by random googling. I've bought lots of kit (lots by my standards) and I want to ma...
