I dont think that you have an irregular posture, more likely a pack that is not adjusted to your build.

There is quite a good guide to that here -...

To a degree, for men, it's still important to get the heavier objects at the top of the pack, this is for balance and load distribution (so the weight and force is going downward rather than pulling...

i used military packs for years and i thought they were good when i was using them. There is a large problem with the PLCE range which does not become apparent either carry a heavy load for a long...

Is Ranulph Fiennes sporting a toupee there !?!?

I don think it does, you can legally carry a 6 inch sheath knife if you have a good reason to, for example a tree surgeon, wood carver, bushcraft instructor, climber, person in a survival situation....

It's a direct quote from the Criminal Justice Act 1988 section 139(1) Paul. I expect that there is already a UK knife law post on here somewhere, if not then I'm happy to write on, i have a blog...

“It is an offence for any person, without lawful authority or good reason, to have with him in a public place, any article which has a blade or is sharply pointed except for a folding pocket-knife...

oh well, someone else may or may not benefit

Depends on the region, each regional office has a different view of the how much public access that they will tolerate. A lot of FC woodland is either unsuitable or inaccessible for logging, which...

If your looking for cheap boot's then steer clear of the assault boots, as others have mentioned i have another votes for German Army para boots, they are very good for the price.

If you have some...

Yes your right, i'm not under the spell of having qualifications makes you somehow awesome at what you do, it sometimes makes people safer though. I know a girl who is not a very good climber at...

Yes that's a good question, do we need an NGB?.

I'd say that for non professionals the answer is probably no. This country really does not need more regulation, honestly, i think that this...

The locking blade is about 1 inch long

Its The Land Reform Act (Scotland) 2003 :P (sorry). Like i said on the other thread, i really think that going it alone on this will lead nowhere, it is vital to join forces with other outdoor user...

Thats why we all have to talk, the SOTP campaing have been engaging with ramblers and the rest, there needs to be some co-ordination rather than lots of small petitions and separate campaigns. DEFRA...

The canoeing and kayak community are making headway into gaining access to inland waterways, they face the same access problems in England and Wales. Joining forces with them would help. I'm afraid...

We need a Land Reform Act similar to the Land Reform Act (Scotland) 2003

Thanks Thumbcrusher, It took me a few years to finally be brave enough to buy it, it was worth it though.

I have owned a Karrimor SF sabre 75 for a year now and I opted for this pack after I became fed up...

That's the spirit Tony :P

Thanks Dan, Yep it's a decent bag, I'm reviewing the Sabre 75 at the moment, also really good and all going well, the 45 mid sized pack after that. 20 years! That speaks...

Bushcraft is all about knowing more so that we can carry less right? Well,despite this the vast majority of Bushcraft folk do carry some equipment with them and in most cases this is a very wise...

Yes or candle wax. I was really just trying to illustrate a point - if your designing a catch all survival kit for the masses, do you add a book of cardboard safety matches (where the cardboard...

Thanks for the feedback Ashley, I have asked BCB for comment on the knife, i thought that perhaps my experience with the knife was a one off but to hear that yours was in the same condition is not a...

Its for those situations that you did not plan for Ade! :) Nobody is telling you that you have to have one, its an option and in some schools of thought a good one, in others not such a good one. It...

Hello Adrian, This survival tin comes from a Military heritage. In particular, if I recall correctly, they were developed with Aircrew in mind. A Pilot runs the risk of being shot down or stranded...
