DIDO.1 20,864 Posted January 3, 2022 Report Share Posted January 3, 2022 My brother was in the army when I was younger so he always brought me ex army gear. I spent years mooching and gamekeeping wearing either his ex army stuff or my dad's old wellies and donkey jacket. I often measured 20 mile days on the map while wearing Dunlop steel toe cap wellies I had been wearing an old nuclear/chemical /biological smock for years before I found out what it was Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Qbgrey 3,983 Posted January 3, 2022 Report Share Posted January 3, 2022 Have a look in cabelas in the states shops the size of 4 football pitches. Camouflage sofa, beds, furniture. Can buy fishing boats, quads,bow ranges, quiet unbelievable.

Had some Wrangler® denims from them. The absolute quality of them just blew me away! It just shows how the rest of the world takes the piss out of us. Chucking us their floor sweepings in every conceivable way. Septics wouldn't stand for the shit they flog off to us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
