Aparrently been on for a while.
Just found out about this again this year and went out to buy.
Been trying to buy these for a few years now but always find out too late.
But alas I was too late again and all the xl stuff was gone for all 4 local stores except for a pair of bottoms which I...
Nope first 2 thing in my ration pack that went up for trade was coffee and any corned beef hash.
It's like moist dog biscuits in gravy.
Absolutely minging.
Trust me.
Seeing me in just my boxers and boots running round in the rain in complete darkness is enough to make you bleach your eyes and never venture into the woods again.
Sounds nice.
We was supposed to come round and back down that way but there was no way we were gonna climb back up where we came down onto Mermaids pool so had to opt for the other route.
So yesterday me and Jonbodthethird headed once again to the lovely peak district for a nice little walk and overnight camp.
Started off parking near Upper Booth and paying the sweet sum of £5 to a local camp site to allow us to park for the night.
Also allowed us to use the onsite toilet and...
Yeah all my kit will be tested first in the UK locally.
Then upto Scotland where the temps are a lot colder.
Then Norway around - 15 to - 20.
If all holds up well then I will use it on the Arctic survival course to try it properly at -20 and below.
By then I should have made any changes and got...
I will have a try of that.
What's in it?
Hopefully not actual mountain man...... They tent to be very chewy and not much flavour. [emoji1787]

Getting confused over temp vs wet snow.
I want to make sure that if for whatever reason the temp is above (-10 or whatever temp snow starts to get slushy and wet.)
That I have protection against wet feet.
I'm going to buy a pair of the brit army over boots and see how waterproof they are and...
Are sorrell pac boots any good?
What other brands to look for.
Don't get why I couldn't just use a waterproof over boot with the Canadian mukluks.
Obviously they are warm enough, so just need a way of keeping them dry if the temp rises above -10.
Or just use my lowa goretex boots with my...
Do you know what they are made of?
Wondering if it's worth trying to waterproof them with some silicone mix
Or just use my Berghaus yetis but they ain't completely waterproof either due to the velcro
OK so does anyone know if the brit army mukluks over boots are goretex/waterproof?
Or just canvas type material.
Was thinking if they are waterproof then just Canadian mukluks for all weather plus the brit army over boots of it starts to get slushy.
Save me a lot of pennies compared to buying a...
Luckily my mum lives with us and she lives knitting.
May grab some Balls of merino wool and get her to make me some.
Or maybe just buy some reindeer pelt and make some nice cosy one for myself.
What are pac boots?
And what temps were you all using this kit in?
I'm aiming for - 30°c or...
