Is it just me or does anyone else have an unfeasabley large ammount of stuff to take next weekend?

Seriously doubting wheter my back will take it.

I've piled it up and its tons.

Uniform for evneing socials
Field uniform + smock
Tan and water overs..
jackboots
Webbing (mp40 pouches, mess tins, canteen, bayonet, zelt, belt, ystraps)
mp40 + ammo + grenades (inert replicas for the boot)
helmet
m43cap
Greatcoat
sleeping bag and bivvie bag
torch

doesnt sound liek much but looks loads...

taking more thna one uniform as being soaked at wotan by day two was not much fun and that was thrugh a water proofed smock, a zelt and wool kit)

Gadge - I've been looking at my pile of D-Day stuff since before last weekend thinking - S**t, I need an estate car lol

I had extra kit for CR but admit that after getting out of my mudbath zelt-tent into something drier/warmer made a world of difference

Luckily i've found out that an mp40, spare batteries, speed loader and ammo fits wonderfully in a 1937 bren spare barrel bag!

LOL.

I bought my last car a bit bigger than the old one to 'cope a bit better with family holidays' (read - couldn't get all the airsoft kit into the previous car :lol: )

That said, it looks like I'm going to be using a loan car for D-Day as mine is still in the garage for warranty repairs, so I'm going to have to fit Forester's and my kit into a Picasso :evil:
