Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 My webbing pack stuffed with a blanket and a groundsheet to lie snugly on. And my beany seat bag which I use as a very comfortable rest and support for shooting my spring rifles from prone position hides around my permission. And foot lengths of cut string in my jacket pocket to tie up the hind legs of shot rabbits to make carrying them easier. And a bloody good tuckshop of sandwiches, cheese, pasty, bit of chocolate and a bottle of "Lancaster Bomber" or Stella Artois Cidre; opened, courtesy of a Swiss Army knife with a bottle opener on it to accompany it! Ahh the bliss of shooting rabbits and pigeons from a well concealed Hawthorn thicket hidey hole and plenty of tasty scoff in the open air. Just me and my Weihrauch HW80 or HW77 .22s ..or sometimes my TX200HC .177 and a plentyful supply of .22 H&N FTT or RWS Superfields; or .177 AA Fields. And all cares and woes left firmly behind at home where they belong! I could not be more content. Simon/pianoman Do you shoot on your permission or move in? Of course my friend. None of this rolling about on thistles, nettles and stones and starving to bloody death and dying of thirst on a long day out to nightfall for me laddie! I'll be camping out under the stars on my permission come the warm summer with my mates Andy and Paul here! Paul's curried rabbit, squirrel and pigeon on rice, on the fire, shot fresh that day/evening. Good wines, great Beers, plenty of good malt scotch, tea, coffee and even a pudding for afters. And lots of soft, soft, soft for the 'loo' I built down there! How about that for a man's shooting weekend! Simon the Pianojammybastard! Cant beat a bit of camping AND shooting.. roll on those summer nights. Quote Link to post

Acuspell 329 Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 In my pockets:- folding knife, pellet pouch, honey sandwich in clingfilm, lens cloth. If cold a hand warmer. Scarf or veil, depending on temperature. THIN gloves to cover up the white flags on the ends of your arms. Most important - a small bottle of kiddies bubbles (oh yes! - the best thing ever for finding the wind ) In the top of my boot, shooting sticks (bipod - see Airgun Shooter for "the natural bipod") Round my neck, my Zeiss 8x30B binoculars - never go without them and they have gained me so many extra shots over the years. You can see things with binos that you cannot possibly hope to find even scanning with the scope. That's me. Sometimes if going on a long trek, or going to do some work, I will tak a small rucksack (15 litres or so) for the folding pruning saw (Sandvik), a bit of baler twine, warm hat, compass and whistle.

Kent_keith 46 Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Keith, Wrap some black electrical tape around the zips as they rattle if you don't. I bought the wrong one, I thought I was a bit small, reading it again it's a trout bag lol but just bought the bigger one off Amazon. The one thing I did notice was the quick release clips at the front rattle like made, no good if your stalking but I have a fix for that and now it's perfect. I'll do the same to its big brother when that arrives next week. If anyone's thinking of buying one and you have a Go Outdoors near them, their having a sale on these starting March.
