Moncrieff Island and more kit

I decided to visit the local army surplus store today. I was planning on pricing an LBE (load bearing equipment) system but unfortunatly they lack that sort of thing. The only thing they have similar is waistcoats with pockets all over. I already have one and it has fallen out of favour. They did have a PLCE system the previous time I was there but that is not suitable as well.

I was originally going to visit and go straight home but they were shut. I decided to make a jaunt over to Moncrieff island and take a few photos to kill the time. The island would be a good bug out location if there wasn’t regular human activity. Lots of garbage and signs of fires.

I did get a small amount of stuff. Picked up some paracord (said it before and I’ll say it again, can never have enough) and a handful of boot bands (aka trouser twists/those elastic things with hooks on that scratch you if you let go accidently) as well as a pair of desert DPM trousers. Nothing special about the trousers though they do fit me very well. The seat is reinforced as well as the knees. Pockets are decent. Nothing else of note. I would like to get my hands on a few high speed pairs but I lack the funds.
