The sleeping bag can be used both ways. Pockets and zip on the inside or change it to both on the outside. Feels more snug and cozier when zip and pockets are on the outside.
We couldn’t see anything with the camera waving around. Every time they do one of these the hands and camera are all over the place and you can’t see any detail
Good review, I decided to buy one because I've been looking for an old one (and because I like looking sexy). What is the overall build quality like, stitching, seams, tie-off points etc?
Nice review! I have seen many posts of folks commenting on “recycled steel” being an issue. I am familiar with heat treat process as well! Key here is the compromise between hardness & toughness! Not an easy task to engineer! Gransfors Bruk has got the right formula down pat, when it comes to hardness & not being brittle! Absolutely what is needed in an axe!
They took away the guns in the UK . So you cannot defend your self! And you think you should have to be licensed to have a knife are you kidding me !!!! I think you need to have bubble wrap all around you so you don’t fall down and hurt your self for that matter . It is all about control of the people by those that are afraid of their on shadow.
We are not allowed to carry a knife in the uk currently unless it's a Kinder egg surprise style knife. So yes, If having to have a licence allows me to carry something proper, then 100% I'd be up for that. Who wouldn't???
My Wegner pen knife with a non lockable 2 inch blade is illegal in the UK I know because the Police found mine in my bicycle tool kit during a stop and search and told me if they catch it on me again I could be liable for a 6 month prison sentence.
Read the government website regarding knife laws. The police man that stopped you told you a little porky pie. Read below taken from a police website. "I carry a small folding knife, am I breaking the law? No. You can carry a knife in public if it has a folding blade that is 3 inches (7.62cm) or less in length. However if any knife is used to threaten or intimidate it is considered an offensive weapon. Please note, lock knives are not classed as folding knives and are illegal to carry in public" Link below for the website. www.leics.police.uk/police-forces/leicestershire-police/areas/leicestershire-force-content/c/campaigns/2019/knife-crime/i-carry-a-knife-what-do-i-need-to-know/#:~:text=You%20can%20carry%20a%20knife,illegal%20to%20carry%20in%20public.
You have to get used to the pockets...use it for many years already and find it all with eyes closed...a pity they don't have a mesh pocket anymore on top.
Yeah? I went up Ben Nevis 20 years ago with a massive rucksack full of gear and a tent. The plan was to camp at the top only to find it was full of rocks at the top. The survival tin shelter smelt of Pee, so we went back down and camped at the bottom. Where abouts did you camp for the night?
I had a miniture knife on my key ring with a 2cm blade in nhs uniform used it for work and ended up having to refuse a simple caution at police station and ended up in magistrates court ,where it went on to crown court ,I ended up with a not guilty in the end ,but not after alot of being made out to be a bad guy ,was arrested for possession of a offensive weapon in public ,was in a home careing for and elderly gentleman, I have a clean criminal record and still work as a carer ,my advise to anyone would be don't bother carrying a knife legal or not ,it ain't worth it trust me could end up with alot of explaining yourself
@UK_Outdoors. I know ,I was originally arrested for suspected breach of a civil court order which I got ,no further action on ,and the knife on my key ring I ended up going through the courts with , went from simple caution to possibly getting a suspended 6 mth sentence and told if found guilty they would of also wanted me to pay the court costs which would of amounted to close to £3500 I was given option of accepting the caution right to the end and nearly did to be honest at one point just get it over and done with but knew I was not guilty and took it the whole way wasn't a pleasant experience and was vilified by the system was shocked at how pressured I was to go guilty just been one of my life experiences and leave here for anyone to maybe think twice ,I got the no furthered action on the suspected breach before I refused the cation for the knife and it was solely just for the knife why I went to court just on its own
In Holland we have laws for knives to ,but doesn't go for lock knives. 10cm long blade en doesn't cut on both side's no automatics or vall knifes . Its more like camping trips its good to go, but dont go to dancing halls en so on. (Well you dont need a knive) but we have a lot of people from Afrika en so on en they use knives for killing.😬
This is so sad I don't know what to say. If I had to move to the UK and couldn't carry a Leatherman multitool simply because it had a locking blade I'd be pretty upset. Protect your freedoms people...They're hard to get back once they're gone.
So, the pair of short blunt cutlery knives that I carry in my picnic pack in my car ... they are illegal? They don't fold. When I am in a restaurant and there are knives and forks where the knife is one piece ... are they illegal?
Pretty sure u will be OK with them in a picnic pack. But if you were to carry one in your back pocket in the town centre, then you might have to answer some questions if the old bill were to catch you. "Who are you planning on spreading with this Sir"?? 😄😄😄
@@UK_Outdoors. The reason I carry a couple of knives and forks in my car is because I often go for fish and chips and sit in the car and eat them by the sea. Yes you can eat fish and chips with your fingers but why should we eat like a peasant. The days of eating out of newspaper have long since passed and so should the days are eating with your dirty fingers. I'm not that well these days so I no longer eat oysters ... but I used to. I'd often go to the fish monger in the market and ask him to open a couple of oysters for me so that I could eat them there and then on the spot. The request was nearly always declined on the basis that they didn't have an oyster knife. So one day I thought fuck you. I've been wearing stuff ahead of you. So I brought my own oyster knife from my kitchen with me. It is an extremely inoffensive tool. Absolutely no good for slicing and not much good for stabbing either. It was one of the very rounded types of oyster knife. The fish when I got poisoned out to me that I was risking it a bit that I carrying this knife with me. To be honest I hadn't thought about it. Anyway, The fish around I did open a couple of oysters for me. He struggled a bit ... but he didn't use my oyster knife at all: he used a screwdriver. 🙄
I have the snugpak special forces sleep system, the special forces 1 and 2 bag. I wouldnt touch the british army modular system. We were issued the arctic bag while served, i first got issued the old 58 pattern bag. I wouldnt leave home without my snugpak.
Sgian Dubh's are legal but it must be worn with the Highland Dress and you must be going to an event but it's legal. Most people have blunt Sgian Dubhs anyway.
This is ridiculous. I have a fisherman' filleting knife that fits in a leather sheath that I take fishing, it's blade over 6 inches long, is fixed, non folding. I also use it for preparing game if I'm out shooting. So people who go camping and take their carving or bread knife for normal food preparation are also breaking the law-------crazy!
Never leave home without a poncho if some kind. I always have at least two single use ones as extras in my kit. The single use ones make amazing back pack covers. Take the poncho tie the hood closed put over your pack, then reach in through the arm slits and pull the back pack shoulder straps through put it on your back. You have weather proof back pack covers.
Hello! Just to clarify, 1.1oz is the actual material spceification - so the weight of the material per square yard. The poncho actually weighs 10.5oz if the large size of this poncho. Hope this helps, ATB
Ah yes course, I'm a metric guy myself. 304 grams is the actual weight on my scales fully packaged. And I even took a picture of the oz (it was 10.7oz) but I kept referring to the text on the stuff sack 🙈. Well spotted!
@@UK_Outdoors. I ordered one via Amazon last year. When it arrived it was a different size to advertised. I complained and OneWind Customer Services responded and sent me a freebie for my troubles and the fact that the advert was wrong. When they sent me the freebie, the sizes they told me were wrong and then they tried telling me I was measuring it wrong! I measured it like all other ponchos are that I own and knew I was measuring it right. At least I got a freebie. What I would say if anyone reads this who is ordering via Amazon, please note that the sizes specified may not be correct. I also note that another advert they currently have for another product is incorrect. Be warned! ATB
Back in the 50s and living in a semi-rural area We often carried sheath knives when out rambling or camping from the age of 8. In school most boys had pocket knives and the teacher would often ask to borrow one. The embarrassment if yours was not sharp. Some of us had air rifles and, with the landowners permission, would hunt grey squirrels for the 2/6d old money, paid by the Forestry commission for their tails in an attempt to protect the native red squirrels. Later, in the scouts, we had machetes, axes and the ubiquitous sheath knives as part of our equipment. Out in public nobody would even give a second glance at these tools. It was the same in the home, we were living with my grandmother at the time and my step-grandfather always had a double barrelled 12 bore shotgun behind a chair in the living room for vermin control. To my certain knowledge we never shot or stabbed anyone. What has gone wrong?
Thanks for watching and your kind comment. Restaurant reviews aren't really inkeeping with the channel. Although if you do a restaurant review, be sure to tag me in the comments. I would love to show a fellow youtuber some support. 👍. Stay safe!
I have a few poncho tarps. They make excellent day shelters to sit under with the dog. I've slept under them a few times sans bug net and been eaten alive by the bastard insects. I love England so very much.
I live in the UK and work as a tree feller, gardener, landscaper. I absolutely refuse to use a non locking knife, i actually cut the end off my finger with one once. I have carried and used a 4" lock knife for over 20 years. The law is an arse.
