    Smile Storage – Shoe Bags

    I was after something to store my Swedish Army cook set in, in my rucksack and hit on the idea of buying an old fashioned child’s school shoe bag – John Lewis do them in stout cotton canvas, in a variety of colours and they’re only £3.50

    Great idea Ranger! :super: Those kind of bags are alos great for collecting tinder in as you can hang them up on the wind to dry.

    Oh no, childhood horror My mum used to make ours for school out of old curtains and back in the ??? big flowery curtains were in, felt a right pillock with my kit in those, but it was character building.

    A good alternative might be the cloth carrier bags often given away at trade shows. I got one at the outdoors show from one of the government agencies (can't remember which)

    I use a pillow case to store my spare clothing in, in my rucksack when camping out, which also doubles as my pillow for the night - hasten to add, I don’t stuff the sock’s I was wearing in it!!!
