…..yes …time to make sure your survival skills are up to speed in case you are left stranded in the wilds
Busted my hind end for a month (on and off due to weather extremes) painting nine HVAC fence enclosures by hand for Home Depot Canada . started seeing paintbrushes and metal C channel fences in my dreams. Got heat sick a few times due to elevated roof temps , unrelenting sun and high UV index. Got sun burned bad a few times. Threw up a few times. Went thru an average of 10 to 20 litres of water daily , plus electrolytes drinks. Ate sport saltstick tabs daily . it’s all done now. Contract completed. I got paid. I would like to thank Brother @Twoody88 for the gig anyways, work hard play hard I got a Caracjou Tactical LBE Alice webbing rig , plus two large sustainment pouches heading my way from Quebec Canada . Caracjou Tactical was started by a couple hardcore CDN Forces soldiers, who saw the need for better , lighter, tougher gear. I already own one of their buttpacks - the quality , attention to detail, and modularity is off the charts .
The pleasures all mine @Bushman5 I'd never hesitate to put my word on your name My latest acquisition
My kids got me a Kershaw Outcome as an early father's day gift. $50 usually but sale for $25. Sweet little knife with assisted opening. The 8Cr13MoV steel seems ok, came sharp. Nice size as a "gentilemans" knife. I still carry my SOCP type dagger for self defence and use the Kershaw for light use.
New arrival here MKM Normar, designed by Jesper Voxnaes, K&T exclusive. CPM3V steel, green canvas micarta handle scales. Originally ordered the Lionsteel M5 in 3V, but that was delayed, so switched to this beauty. Can't wait to take it out .
..... collected it today..... ...and home after a 5hr round trip... .....also came with a set of the optional quick release mounts I was not expecting.
Lookout @TuffPossumGear , you have competition up here in BC Canada! local seamstress gal makes these paper light dyneema and Xpac fabric pouches, the quality is incredible . KickAssOutdoor on ETSY I like extreme organization in mg webbing rigs , like to be able to tell fellow hikers with me- grab the yellow pouch, or orange pouch etc.
NEAR ZERO Titanium hiking shovel Should be in my mitts in a week or less. Already reached out to local carbon fiber and titanium tube suppliers for a handle
Acturus Wool Blanket for the roof top tent..... https://arcturusgear.com/collection...ilitary-wool-blanket-charcoal-4-5-lbs-64-x-89 It arrived overnight here an I threw it on the bed. Seems well made, heavy and warm, real test will be a night out but that is a little away yet. Also picked up an "Anti Condensation Mat" to go under the mattress in the tent. Could not get one the size I wanted for this so got another that is larger (and was on sale) so I can trim it down.
Not a purchase as such, but a fiend just gifted me one of these big double bags to make the roof tent more comfy ! https://www.oztrail.com.au/drover-1500-5-c-sleeping-bag
