    LOL Ryan thats a good question...I got it home last night and unpacked my old cooking gear i have had for years..An Austrian Mess Kit and Esbit stove and the old stuff is more compact and practical for what i need it for than the new Swiss Vancano Stove...

    O'well..Now It will go in the new guy barrow bin...Sorry i didnt post the pics.Touch of the flu....

    I myself use two pairs. One leather finger less and other one normal. I chosed size of normal pair in such way that i can put them on leather one without any serious problem with grabing things etc.

    Well, I'd prefer it if it was all brit kit, but the lbv is much more useful than the issue yoke.

    Wow!! I come to read my old thread and there are all these new posts without evil MP.net notifying me... Anyway want to go over a couple of things.

    East scout, Im waiting for the pic hehe, no drama mate, no rush on my part !!

    Sabre thanks for the kit posted!! That's excellent. Ref beltkit: is that a RAF cargo belt I spot? And the brown sheet on the rear, whats it for?
    Good idea about the para sling! Might ask you to past a pic of it later when coming into contact with the SA80 again. Thanks for taking the time to write it all up.

    Weasel, nice water filter... and DVD collection !
