I'm very happy with it mate. not the smallest packing tent but very lightweight despite size. I was really surprised at how roomy it is when its set up - easy get three people and their rucksacks in there no problem. Ideal for backpacking i'd say.Originally Posted by Invicta
If there are no women around and a man says something, is he still wrong?
Thanks for reply,
It looks really good, nice and simple set up too. What I have found is although you may want to travel light some tents can be too small.
A pair of PLCE Bergan side pouches only £3 at the booty yesterday.

I was actually looking for a Leatherman Squirt P4, because I didn't want the PS4 and by accident stumbled upon this on the bay. An USAF 6545-01-534-0935 Cage 7S327 Survival Module for 44 € including p&p! I have to say that I am quite surprised by the value that I got for my money. The module was declared "opened" so I was sceptic at first but everything was more or less mint condition except for the mirror.
1x Leatherman Squirt P4
2x Laser Light Finger Points (1x Visible Red, 1x IR) - quite impressed by these little lights
2x Wetfire Tinder
10x Aquamira Waterpurifcation Tablets
10x Stormproof Matches in waterproof container
1x Sparky thing for Firelighting
1x UCME Tornado Whistle (dang that thing is friggn loud!)
1x Tiny Button Compass (which actually works!)
1x key for handcuffs (yeah...ok...nice to have)
1x starflash ultra signal mirror (which was unfortunately broken, read up on the internet that they do disassemble easily)
1x McNett Camo Cravat (The edges are cut rough as it is intended for bandaging. The textile is so strong that I put it on the sewing machine and put proper seams all aroung. Now it is a really neat triangular scarf/bandana-thing in ACU Camo.
Can't find much about this but bound this pdf on the internet "TECHNICAL MANUAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROCUREMENT, ISSUE, USE AND MAINTENANCE OF MEDICAL KITS" which explains the purpose of this kit like follows:
" NSN 6545-01-534-0935, SURVIVAL MODULE
-
3.5.1 Purpose.
The module provides first aid and survival items for Airman to treat injuries sustained in the line of duty
and aid in operations where military personnel and other selected individuals are enabled to emerge from an enemy-held or
hostile area to areas under friendly control."
Quite a good buy in my eyes!

In a moment of genius I have just taken delivery of a 28ft army surplus parachute. Now just trying to decide what to do with it!!
Recently visited Caerleon remains of Roman fort near Usk and could not resist buying this replica oil lamp.
They used Olive oil and surprisingly gives of quite a lot of light.
Definitely coming me on my next trip!
