I just uploaded more crazy pictures from a recent camping trip. They are in this gallery.
Right now, I want a real thing – something like Crusader cooking system, but made out of titanium. Also thinking about switching to hexamine. If you have any recommendations on cooking systems, please post in the comments section.
I’ve been camping yesterday, and it was rough. I’ve entered forest that was unknown to me after dark, and set up a camp at night.
Cooking system? Very small metal tin, Kifaru internal frame, billy kit. Do you need more? Yes, you do.
Although lukewarm meal is better than a cold one.
Explanation for the last picture, as enhanced by my wearable computer:
[Red_line] = Kifaru internal frame
[Green_line] = metal tin
[Yellow_line] = british billy kit
They all must go.

Customers in shopping centres are having their every move tracked by a new type of surveillance that listens in on the whisperings of their mobile phones.
The technology can tell when people enter a shopping centre, what stores they visit, how long they remain there, and what route they take as they walked around.
It has already been installed in two shopping centres, including Gunwharf Quays in Portsmouth, and three more centres will begin using it next month,
[Times Online] has learnt. Read full piece after the jump.
This article was featured in Newsreal around a year ago, yet still I feel a significance of it, as it affects my… neighbourhood (?).
After buying a new headlamp yesterday, I was faced with a challenge: how to attach it with its great, watertight (but red) case to my backpack in a way that will make this both easy accessible and low profile.
The answer was already on my shoulder strap. An olive “LBE band” (sorry for no linkage, “USMC’s” website is lacking). The only thing was to figure out the way to meet all my requirements listed above. I am quite happy with the results, look at the pctures below to see the subtile marriage of bright red box, MALICE clip, LBE band and PALS webbing:
UPDATE: an LBE band can be positioned in such a way that it covers entire front of the headlamp’s case, leaving only very small top and bottom areas visible. Hooah!
Don’t loose it.
