Re: My new BOV
That's a difficult question to answer Sam, we were forever 'modding' our equipment and vehicles, mil-spec is pretty basic, but we would fit all kinds of stuff to make life more comfortable, from insulation and beds inside Land Rovers to fully converting Sankey Trailers into tent/campers, anything we...

Re: My new BOV
My idea was to be long gone before thing escalate to that stage, to be well tucked away, cammed up and hidden, hence the need for a vehicle that's capable of getting you to a suitable location and then staying out of sight, plus I've still got the military plates that came with it so could possibly ...

Re: Sea fishing - any advice?

Re: My new BOV

Re: Khukris for Bushcraft
I've carried a Khukri for years, always had one on my webbing for all the years I served in the army, I had a genuine Gurkha one passed on to me from a guy in my squadron who was leaving the army, that was 1984 and I've only just replaced it with another genuine one hand made in Nepal. This is where...

Re: Sea fishing - any advice?
CYN: Whereabout in Scotland are you? My best mate and prepping buddy are constantly outdoors practising our skills, one of which is fishing, particularly sea fishing. We don't mind traveling to new areas to try something new and never mind taking someone along to pass on our knowledge, plus we're ki...
