Hi TeePee, just a quick question.. Can one or more of the seats be removed to allow for extra kit etc?

I know what you mean mate, I have seen someone putting a chest seal in their kit before... I have only seen a CAT used twice on tour and even though I know how to use it I hope I never have to. Some folk will go to great lengths to have all the gucci kit but like you said, all the gear... No...

Hi and welcome

I have only used the folding firebox and apart from being a wee bit on the heavy side (very solid build though), I can't fault it. I got the boiling plate which holds my SS GSI cup and also the grill plate. I think I will be using this stove forever..

Just to add my two cents regarding catastrophic wounds that have been mentioned that may require quick clot or a tourniquet. Someone already mentioned that quick clot is out and pretty much never used, I agree. Tourniquets on the other hand have a place in my kit, I carry the CAT purely as I go...

I have purchased two of the goliath pen rod and reel combos (one for a friend), they are decent quality and I have brought in a 6lb rainbow trout with it. People who give bad reviews of these bits of kit are most likely not using them correctly. You fight the fish with the drag on the reel NOT...

Any load carrying equipment that were previously issued in DPM or desert cam that are now being manufactured in MTP are more expensive, just because MTP is the new pattern, there will be no difference in material, construction or durability. Give it a while and the price will come down for MTP...

The Snugpak Scorpion 2 is a great tent and is Fly first. Might be a little above your price range but you may be able to find one for the 150 mark if you shop around a bit.

I use a Fiskars X7 hatchet, laplander and an ESEE 6.. Pics to follow

Just found this wee app for my ipod, initial playing about with it looks very promising. Has anyone else used this app and if so did they use it in the field. Also its free to download :)

Or you could use a wee tent for a storm :)

Thanks for the great tips guys, i'm looking at getting some shiny stuff before march. Wayland, that thread you linked was amazing. Great stuff.

If you are looking to buy in bulk these are well worth a look. Mountain House with a shelf life of 25 years but I would have a look at the build your own section, works out cheaper and you can tailor make it to suit you :)...

Hi Just been told im off to Bavaria in march on exercise for two weeks and we will be making and living in snow holes (other stuff thrown in), does anyone have experience of this? I would like to know if there are any items I should get that might make my time more 'comfy' before I go...

Hello and welcome to the forum :-)

You cant even take fishing flies in a small box as carry on luggage. 'They have points so they must go in hold luggage'. I mean seriously??? How far would you get trying to hijak a plane with a size 12 watson's fancy in your fingertips... After the crew and other passengers stopped laughing and...
