Hi Robin

Yeah, I'll get that enroute to you via your contact. Better use.

I am unsure if the mountain stove was Lynx kit or what. Likely it was though. I guess we'd just add it to the toboggan kit.

Don't forget a stove board. Always a giggle to see troops sink their stove.

Those water bags and cardboard boxes for them are still in use. Used them in live fire snow defence demo here a coupla winters ago. Often it was just a useless frozen black water jerry in the toboggan though.

The standard wood splitting ax is what I recall. Ice fishing on Ex in Pet, I asked two fellows what they were looking at down their hole. "Our Ax".

Regarding tent routine my suspenders had 3-4 big safety pins on them. Scoobie snack for first right answer why.

regards
Darrell
