LK35 Rucksack Overview and Thoughts. (Canvas Version)

I managed to pick up a reasonable used condition iconic rucksack from from the Swedish Military. The LK35 is a steel framed bucket style rucksack used from the 70s onwards. It's ability to carry heavy loads and pack quite a lot of gear inside...and crucially outside, is very much sought after. It's a very basic sack, but its design with all the straps for extra loading points is superb. Described as a 35ltr in size, I am sure it can take more. I have always owned a metal external frame rucksack even in my days with the scouts, so this fits the bill nicely. It seems to be popular choice for those looking to carry unusual loads, like game meat or timber. I can't see that being my requirement though. Mine is one of two styles reportedly made, one being of canvas with the other from Cordura synthetic material with PU coating inside. I am guessing that the Cordura version will resist water better. Most of the Rucksacks I have seen online via YouTube, have been Cordura as it s...

Wild Camp Locally. Covid - 19

Well how very quick the landscape of life changes. A virus in December in China had us wagging our fingers which soon changed to clenching our arse cheeks in March in Europe. Just before the strict rules on movement and self isolation came into force the weather suddenly swung to fair and dry! A friend very kindly asked if I wanted to go with him on a wild camp locally. We had permission from the landowner so I could hardly say no. It was up in the hills overlooking a small village in Rossendale a village where my camping buddy grew up in so it was nice to get a brief history on the area. My down sleeping bag (nearest.) Nice and small. We were just staying for one night. I took my small Vango Delta 200 and Mick took his newish One Tigris Smokey Hut Teepee with stove jack. Mick was very excited to finally get to use his new Titanium collapsible stove. You see Mick and I have a few addictions. Mine is tents, and lights, Micks is tents and stoves. The stove in use ...

Adults Only.........

We do have to be careful when we get the chance to go camping at this time of year. A bank holiday in summer and school holidays would normally not have us looking to go camping. Don't get me wrong I like children I just can't eat a whole one. Anyway in truth it's not the kids it's how the parents interact with the kids that has us on tenterhooks as little Johnny is told to go and kick his football somewhere else? If that's you saying that to your kid you are an arse! As it happened we found an adults only campsite within an hour of home so we thought why not. We have been before but at quiet times of the year. The site is called Charoland Farm. Here is a link Charoland Farm Campsite The bonus for me is that my favourite Vietnam helicopter the Huey (Bell HU-1A) often flies over The weather has been mixed so far with sunny spells and heavy downpours. Today has been glorious and the sun has reflected nicely on my forehead. The tent ha...
