Bullets and water!

Sun cream

insect repelant

condoms

Tampons

foil blanket

and if you smoke spare ciggys

Well, I haven't got a gun, so I don't think the bullets would be much use Everything else though, excellent idea The pocket on the upper right chest is a perfect size for a pack of smokes. Only thing is, I don't smoke

Those are great, but a couple of disposable Bics will do.

Also, a few "ziplock" plastic bags in various sizes and a small hygiene kit is a nice addition. Make sure you take foot powder and some extra socks too! A small coil of 18 or 20 Gage steal wire goes a long way also along with a polished stainless steel mirror. I'm not sure what kind of adventure you are planning but these are things that I always have with me on patrol (excluding weapons of course).

Also, consider purchasing some small "Pelikan" water proof cases to keep important things dry. And never go anywhere without a "Leatherman Tool"!

Cheers

All excellent suggestions, please keep them coming I remember watching the Stargate movie, and Daniel rummaging all through his equipment pouches, but unable to find suncream I take it the foot powder is to keep feet dry on hikes? No major adventure planned, maybe just a weekend's camping, and, while we'll have stuff in our bags, I figured a 'survival kit' of sorts in the vest might come in handy

You need to add 100 feet (30Meters) of "550" cord, an MRE (Meal Ready to Eat) and one or two butane lighters and some water proof matches. A wet weather ponch is not a bad idea too.

Awesome suggestions, thanks

With regards the butane lighters, am I right in thinking those are the ones which produce a 'mini-blow torch' effect, or are they the 'flameless' lighters?

I remember hearing that Hitler gave gold watches to aquaintances who successfully gave up smoking. Never saw any backup for that though...

Awesome

Start with the 10 Scout Essentials (notice there are no flashlights on this list) and add in

what will fit in your pockets. Some of these won't fit, but it's a starting point if you have

a backpack. For mountain biking I use a small daypack and I bring compass, map,

matches, tire kit, first aid, mirror, water.

Scout Essentials

1. Map and Compass

2. Sun and Insect Protection

3. Water Bottles filled with disinfected water

4. Rain Gear and extra layered clothing

5. First Aid Kit

6. Matches

7. Tell someone your itinerary

8. Extra food

9. Pocket Knife

10. Watch

For backpacking you can use as guidelines some of the checklists I've put together for my Troop:

That's fantastic, thankyou Of course, much stuff I will carry in my regular rucksack, but I figured that it would be good to make full use of the vest's capabilities

Easy:

.45

Not so easy in my corner of the world, but, I would if I could

[Edit to add]

This is what it looks like

The back has 3 pockets on it. One, about the size of a VHS Cassette, one which is large enough to hold a large pashmina fully folded, and one which is large enough to hold a Sky Remote control. Those are all positioned on the left side of the back. On the right side, there are no pockets, but three strap loops. This is where I plan to secure the poster tube, to carry things like a change of dry clothes

What an awesome thing to find out

I think it goes without saying that the quality of the work, as always, is absolutely first rate However, I don't think the color combination is the most complementary for a sub... Maybe on a PAM, where it would lend a U-Boat-esque flavor, or, maybe even if the lume was more in the red range rather than the orange

I CERTAINLY didn't expect this!!!!

What did you have in mind, amigo? Visions of me 'wearing' a watch 'Captain Coons-style' to get it across the border? At the end of the day, I've got pretty much every thing I want watch wise. Sure, there are a few pieces I'd like to aquire to round off my collection, but other than that, I'm pretty much done in the buying stakes, so I'd just keep what I've already aquired well and truly hidden, as I don't fancy getting 'black-bagged' in the middle of the night, or having my door kicked in by the Grammaton Clerics Time for my interval...

Well....a few watches

Of course, that goes without saying I figured my 187-fantasy, on a nylon strap would be suitably rugged for outdoor use (come to think of it, so would any of my other PAMs, afterall, they were designed as tool watches, but I wouldn't want to get them beaten up )

Okay, quite a while back, I ordered a 'Hong Kong Tactical Vest', for use while camping. However, despite my time as a Scout, I'm having trouble thinking of what to load the various pockets with Here's what I have so far...

In the elastic loops on the left chest, I have two waterproof 9 LED mini torches, permanantly mounted, facing down. One is stock, the other, I have tinted the lens red to be more 'night sight friendly' In other pockets, I have... Four glo-sticks, a wind-up LED torch, a scarfe, and plans to fit a plastic 'poster tube' to the back, so I can put some things in it. I'm thinking I should have a first aid kit, and other assorted stuff, but can't think what Normally, I would say batteries for my torches, but, as I have the wind-up backup, I know that's not such an issue. Any suggestions will be greatfully received

Yes, the dial of 44mm models is 34mm (34.5 for ST-2530 powered models).

The dial of 47mm models is 38mm though. So it might work.

I think it's going to be an instance of finding a case to fit the dial, rather than a dial to fit the case

As always, excellent work

I could do without it, but, if it's required, I do it without complaint

Indeed, Robbie, that's an awesome setup

Barring one or two watches, which I could live without, I've already got what I want in my collection, so I'd probably just call it a day and stick with what I've got. Of course, I'd probably set up a little 'watch-porn dungeon', like Stephen Fry's character in V For Vendetta, where I could go to wear my illicit watches in safety Of course, to maintain the charade, I'd have to force myself to wear a digital watch in public, and claim ignorance of what 'manual wind' even means I'm sure that, even with my mind numbed with Prozium, I'd still appreciate the simple functionality of my PAMs

Get some information about power plants.... Gas plants need 2 minutes of increasing power... coal power plants ~ 5 hours... and nuclear power plants should always give the same amount of power..... 10 minutes just means that for 10 minutes there is the same amount of coal burned..gas fired... etc...

Actually this kind of "event" means some kind of risk to the grid... not that anything will happen... but if in reality millions of electric items are getting turned on again at the same time... they consume maybe in one ms more than the grid can deliver...

Pug is right. I

I don't particularly want information about power plants, as I don't really care what they need or what it means. I was agreeing with Pug's point, and that by extention, if it isn't going to make a difference if people turn things off or leave them on (as the power plants are still using the resources to produce the power anyway) then all these adverts telling people to consume less power, turn off lights and TVs ect, is just a load of political spin, and not actually going to do anything, other than make people feel better about themselves.

That kind of thing makes no difference at all. It's not like they can turn off the generators.

So by that rationale, all this stuff about 'reducing a carbon footprint' by turning off lights when not in a room, not leaving TVs, Hi Fis on standby, etc, is a complete waste of time too, and little more than political spin?

Awesome

Awesome collection I believe #3 might be the same as my SMP, as it has the same 'greenish' hue to the lume

I've put a vote in, and, would certainly like to make it if possible, and combine this with my honeymoon. We have the 3rd of February booked for the wedding, and are looking at the 7th for a 'celebration/reception, so the week after would fit our timescale better. Of course, if more folks want another date, then go for it, I'm just thinking that that's one date that I likely could make

i don

you need only a pocket watch case which accept a Unitas movement. I should have one pocket watch case as spare... genuine from Maurice Lacroix!!!! But it is gold color. I have pocket watch case from ML and also Tissot. All genuine and mint.

regards

Thanks for the advice So it would just be a matter of transplanting the dial (or even movement/dial/hands) into the new case? This project is sounding easier already I think I'll have to find an SS (or other silver colored) case to be in keeping with the PAM theme, but this is sounding more and more like something I could actually do

Thanks guys, the encouragement and good vibes is much appreciated

In the end, I went for TreadstoneArt, it was the only option available where I could get a .Com url I'll post some links once the site is properly built Thanks for the suggestions and contributions

I've got it

Zero

Yes correct going to re sell it.

Its new condition thats the sick part

20k aiint nothing man, that is hard earned $ this was 20k right in my pocket, its like winning the lotto.

20k is hardly anuff to get a audi a4 1996 mod in my country or a year rent on a aprtment but still it was 1hour work to get 20k that is sick have could i forget

That's a bitch, for sure. How much would you have had to spend buying it? That was what I didn't understand.
