Re: my BOB so far

You have got me thinking, a large part of my BOB is taken up by a change of clothes , my thinking being that in the case of fire I wont have time to get dressed, just grab my BOB and out the window.

It would free up a lot of space if I ditched the clothes ??

Re: Stews

Looks good, but I would add mushrooms mmmmmmm as they bulk it out, and if you do it in a slow cooker for 8-10 hours any cheap meat will go super tender, just tried Ox cheek for the first time , very good done like this :D

Re: Infantry Bergen as a GHB

Hi, like you I was looking for a bergen, but the price was a bit much on ebay, in the end I got a medium alice pack with frame for £40, very very pleased with it, got it in the sales section of British Blades, worth a look as they often have this type of thing. :D
