Getting back into it
« on: April 23, 2013 »

Hey guys, after many years im getting back into th wild camping and outdoors stuff, knees arnt what they used to be after getting injured many years ago when i was young, getting a lot of kit together over the last few months and working in an airsoft shop i can get my hands on various good bits of kit like knives etc, some of the gear ive purchased are as follows,
Jetboil flash
Vango banshee 200 tent
Various trousers and fleeces etc
Map and compass for the mournes
Garmin oregon 450t gps
And loads of other bits and bobs

The only things ive left to get are a good goretex outdoor jacket, sleeping bag and a pair of lightwieght boots.

Anyone recogmend a good jacket, and boots, as for sleeping bag thinking of going with a snugpak elite 5.

Any help would be much appreciated, also have a ka-bar knife i intend to use and can get my hands on most of the cold steel stuff.
