Autumn
and it's that time of year that many Enfields get packed into their sheds for the winter but don't be too hasty, there may be a dream day or two still ahead before the weather gets too grotty for the 'Shiny Sunday Bikes' like Kevin.

Today was one of those days and Autumn means Swiss Alpenflage camo, YAY!

Swiss Alpenflage works rather well.

See? There I am!

It's amazing how the red helps the camoflage rather than hindering it Scaly.
Those Swiss certainly know their onions.

Great video again by the way, keep 'em coming!

Highly entertaining stuff. Thanks Scaly.

Love that switchback, gives the suspension a good work out. I'm curious to know what is stuffed into all the pockets of your Alpineflage wear, every pocket is bulging some sort of inflatable survival suit may'be , is that a separate backpack or part of the suit?

[center]RoSy,



I would do you a picture, but have packed tonight for Paris tomorrow, but Food , poncho, bungees, emergency survival kit, tons of other stuff, I'll take a photo of my corner...

Oh, the swiss M40 jacket is a little unique as the backpack is not 'stand alone' but clips directly onto the jacket, I'll look for a pic (its packed).

Often used stuff and mementos...

Food and ration storage, the crates on the left are filled with French RCIR ration packs... YUMMY!

Incredible, is this a hobby or are you in the reserve's ? I bet there's a tank in your back garden. Iv'e seen Ural outfits for sale still with a machine gun mounted on the sidecar, what a tool to have, don't tell me you have one.

I don't have an outfit with machine gun, but do have a friend which had one. It was a Ural and quite an odd looking thing.

That camouflage clothing is incredible. Took me right back to senior school, early sixties, and the colour blindness tests that we all did.

Also reminded me of Tommy Cooper. "I went to buy some camouflage trousers the other day but I couldn't see any".
