Re: Combat pants

If you're looking for some pantaloons, direct sales from those nice chaps at the MOD can be useful. Bought form them before, and very cheap. The DPM clobber is for sale at quite low prices.

Old New Member Cumbria

Alas I took a break from this site for a great deal of time. Without boring you with the long story, I have returned, and though I would post a new 'this is me' introduction. If that's not the done thing, well oops. I live in Cumbria as the the title suggests. I was lucky enough to be able to move t...

Re: Solar Power

I think there have been a few posts regarding this type of thing in the past. Alas, to be honest, you get what you pay for in this particular industry. Don't feel that because you are in the UK its a no-go as a possibility for power. I've used loads and they do work here but you do have get a decent...

There are a few things out there that are ok for a bug out bag, and that will ch...

Re: Wanted: people in Cumbria.

Evening chaps. Sorry for the late reply as I have been away. Do you chaps have any idea where you would like to meet? I'm central lakes alas, though I do have transport. Some of the best places for doing any kind of prep meets are south of you guys.
