Re: 100.000 subs!!! Holy Schnikes!

Nice one mate, may there be many more videos.

Seeing all you guys on YT is one of the reason I started restocking the collection,

Oldest thing I've eaten was a 24 year old BBQ sauce with Ground Beef in 2008, Don't think I'll be working up to your level, the smokes I'd do those though :D

Re: replicating Pattern 70 SADF webbing with ALICE?

Its really tempting to put a 'Let me google that for you' link up, and tbh this seems quite lazy. All you need is a picture of the SA70pat and a kit list of ALICE and match them up. http://www.Varusteleka.fi even gives you a list of what they sell in that set.
