Yeah fair enough mate, they’re an expensive chunk of steel.. I had some Chinese crap before I bought the svord and got sick of breaking handles, dull blades after minimal work etc. They makes some good stuff! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Whatever floats your boat man.. fwiw I run a svord von tempsky Bowie around camp. Now that’s a solid knife! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Fwiw I run the sea to summit comfort plus- r5 rating. It’s been great, had it when we were up tops in the gatta if u remember. Pretty pricey at 200 but haven’t had a bad nights sleep on it. 700g weight I think Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Please elaborate duncs.. I sense some emotion haha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Gorgeous work mate. Do you make knives full time? How bout the leather work, yours as well? Very impressive. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Stoney creek glaisnock is what I run. My only tip would be make sure whatever you get finishes just above your knees somewhere, allows you to sit on it and also allows better run off without getting wet like a short jacket Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What would you say it weighs mate? Looks good, thanks for the informative post. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Perhaps let us know what you are currently using? My pack is probably a downgrade from yours but I'll mention it anyway lol. Wilderness equipment breakout. Canvas, heavy duty, good support and most importantly, fits my body well. I guess you just have to try them on, weighted. It's the only real way to know I reckon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mick I'm looking for a rangefinder if you want to offload one at a decent price.. WL suggested 10x42's to me when I first started. My budget was sub 400 so I went with Vortex diamondbacks. I struggled to use them as much as I should at first, however now its almost second nature to pick them up and scan every few moments.

16.. nice work! Apprenticeship for a relationship is 10 years, then you need another couple of years to wind up to it so your probably a little overdue Joel but still tracking well haha. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Haha beaver that's a pissa idea mate, I'll do it for shits and gigs[emoji1303] Hopefully get a hunt in soon! Gibbo mate it's been 9 years so I think she's expecting a ring to be honest, but till I learn how to make one out of empty cases that won't be happening [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

When she handed me a svord for my bday! I had been eyeing off a drop point since I started hunting but was being a tight arse and never got one. She even got my initials and a deer head etched onto it.. not a sambar, think I can forgive her though.. Now to blood it! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Bump. Used your kit yet mate? Keen to hear how it goes.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

https://m.nike.com/us/en_us/pd/special-field-mens-boot/pid-10006023/pgid-11352826 Have a look at these mate..not specifically hunting boots but have the fast drying, light weight and comfortable properties you're after Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good stuff V. Now to put it to good use mate! Do you have any "proper" lightweight waterproof gear? I think the mallard stuff does a good job keeping most of the stuff out from what I've heard, but for serious wet stuff or even just keeping dry when pushing bush, a lightweight packable waterproof jacket and pant will ensure your main hunting garments stay dry. Last thing ya want is having your only set of camos(or whatever) damp for the duration of you packing out..real pita. I found that my rain stuff does the job, although a top that finishes below my waist ( or below my 8==D )would be ideal for water run off as the normal length one allows water through when you bend over etc. A little more length would fix the problem.. that's what she said. just some food for thought mate. Edit: never mind, just seen your other post about the hunters element gear, sorted!
