Training time!
The DG-3 club went for a training walk around Kangaroo Point last night.
I’m very pleased that my body is back in the groove.
6 klicks completed in 1:04hrs with >16kg penalty weight.
I need to weigh my pack to find out just how heavy it is.

Sneak Peek – Ammunition Carriage
For many years in my youth, I was spoiled with detachable box magazines and the conveniences they brought into my life.
Detachable box magazines are great for ease of use and protecting ammunition from the rigors and knocks of everyday field life.

Tomahawk Refurb Project
Inspiration came to me on a lazy Sunday afternoon for a new project:
Replacing the handle on my tomahawk.
.
The current handle is polymer synthetic, and it’s way to flexible to be useful.
