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

The Mountain Stove was part of the toboggan check list as I remember. There was a lantern, a two-burner stove, AND a mountain stove for the tent groups. I had a really good experience with those little blast-furnaces. The Coleman PEAK stove is a very close equivalent.

Default GPMG Toboggan Mounting

I was at the CWM on Remembrance Day and photographed this GPMG mounting for the forum.

Ed it is a great picture but in a pdf, can we change that format and rotate it and watermark it for you?

Default GPMG Toboggan Mounting

I believe I have worked out the problem, here is the photo I took in the CWM. It is a pretty slick looking set-up.

It is with regret that I have to announce I will be going no further with my arctic kit collection. The small toboggan is going back to Eric Booth and the rest of the stuff I have collected is up for grabs. I will be contacting a few of you who have provided items by separate means.

I just have too much stuff going on and I need to focus on vehicles and getting them going and abandon the human powered stuff and make space. I'm still around and walking and taking solid nourishment.

Some items were IES for vehicles and wont go.

If you want to have a conversation about this all do it privately.

Thanks all for the input
