Ok guys.. it's been a while since I've done one of these, but I've been waiting on a few bits to come in to make it complete. It's a large lot so postage is going to be costly to send it from one person to the next. These items MUST be sent by Special Delivery between each of the members. This will cover for the Cost should the package become lost or damaged.

Members may keep the items between 5-7 days and no longer. This should allow ample time in veiwing the gear and having a bit of play with it.

You must be a active member on the forum. If your not a active member, but another active member here gives you a thumbs up and vouches for you then it will be taken into consideration. Active member meaning those with higher post rating than 50+

Now that all the above is out of the way I suppose you all want to know what is in the Box.

Well here is the list:
The Torches:

Streamlight Luxeon Jr-
http://www.outdoorsuppliesuk.com/britishblades/BBPassaround/LuxeonJr.jpg

A 2AA 1 Watt Luxeon Jr. LED torch. Some of you like the 2AA torches over the Lithium 123A models. This one is slightly longer than a Maglite AA, but will eat the Maglite AA for lunch hands down. Comes with the batteries, pouch, clicky-tailcap, and pocket clip.

Longbow Micra-
http://www.outdoorsuppliesuk.com/britishblades/BBPassaround/Micra.jpg

LED torch small and well built. Most of you know what they are here already, but for those of you that don't it is a small 123A Lithium torch. This one is Black, but also comes in Hard Anodized as well. Supplied with it is the battery and a lanyard.

Streamlight LED Task-Light Model 51008:
http://www.outdoorsuppliesuk.com/britishblades/BBPassaround/ST51008.jpg

(Also known as the L2) Another torch that runs on Lithiums, but has a High and low output mode. Is a 3 Watt LED, High runs for 3hrs at 80 lumen and low runs for 11.5hours at 20 lumen. Batteries Supplied

Streamlight TL-2 LED Torch Model 88105:
http://www.outdoorsuppliesuk.com/britishblades/BBPassaround/ST88105.jpg

Another 1 Watt Tactical torch that runs on 2 CR123 Lithiums. One of the smallest in its class. Batteries Supplied

[I]Pentagon Light X2 Xenon Model:
http://www.outdoorsuppliesuk.com/britishblades/BBPassaround/X2.jpg

A pure Tactical Torch. Over Built Torch. Comes with a Lanyard. Hard Anodized, and Runs on 2 Lithium 123 batteries. Pumps out 70 Lumens for 1 Hour. I do note on this model that the Twisty tailcap is a bit... Yuck, they are making a Clicky though as a upgrade for it. ...Move over Surefire ... Pentagon is built just as well and at a better price point. One defiantly to see and use...You will get the HA model, not the Black.

The Pentagon doesn't come with a pouch, but fits well into a Blackhawk Surefire Millenium Pouch bezel down. So I'm supplying a pouch as well for this torch.

The Headlamps:

Princeton Tec EOS 1 Watt LED:
http://www.outdoorsuppliesuk.com/britishblades/BBPassaround/EOS.jpg

Small, runs on 3AAA batteries and you get up to 60 hours of run time... has low, Med, high modes. Gives a good spot light output.

Princeton Tec Corona 8 LED:
http://www.outdoorsuppliesuk.com/britishblades/BBPassaround/Corona.jpg

4 Brightness Levels and you can run it on 8, 5, 3, or 1 LED. Gives a better flood light than the EOS model.

The Axe:
The Bark River Modified Vaughn Axe.. small and light weight, but packs alot of power and cutting ability. Perfect for a pack.

The Knifes:
Benchmade Resistor: 420SBT
http://www.outdoorsuppliesuk.com/britishblades/BBPassaround/Resistor.jpg

a new well built tactical knife from Benchmade. Has the Axis lock and a black teflon coated 154CM blade. A Snody designed knife.

The other Gear:
A M2 maxpedition pouch
http://www.outdoorsuppliesuk.com/britishblades/BBPassaround/M2.gif

to stuff some of the goodies in to wear around when testing and playing...Black one, not a olive will be sent.

A Doan Magnesium Fire starter with fire steel....scrape some off and use the fire steel that is on its side to light this stuff up. These are issued to the US Army as part of their kits.

The bag:
http://www.outdoorsuppliesuk.com/britishblades/BBPassaround/D1.jpg

Now I can't let all these goodies just go out in a Brown box can I? Of course not. So how about a Hatch D1 Duty Gear Bag!!!
I'm sure I can stuff all this into it..and have room left over.

Now I'm waiting on two items to come into stock before I can get the weight of the shipment.

The D1 one bag and the Skirmish.... once this comes into stock I can weigh it all and give you the p&P cost and you can decide if you want to jump in on the passaround or not. If your not concerned with the p&p cost then go ahead and signup as this is a first come first serve in line basis.

Ok change of plans...Skirmish is on back order still and the 7 LED and 3 LED torches have been discontinued by Peak LED solutions due to legal reasons.

So I am sending out a 3 watt Luxeon instead that runs on 2 cr123a made by Nuwai.... and yes it is a torch that many of you have been wanting... the price compared to output...4 stars out of 5 on my list!

The information I'll need from you is the following:

Your Address
Your Name here on the Forum
Your Phone Number
Your email address

All the above needs to be sent to me in a EMAIL, not by a PM.
it can be sent to: info@outdoorsuppliesuk.com

Two more items going in the Goody Bag.... they are small..but several of you may find them useful.

One is the ASEK Strap cutter/ Multi-tool . Made by www.ontarioknife.com and issued to paratroopers in the US. It is designed to cut the straps from a parachute or the cord should they get tangled up in it once they land. Though it makes ideal for a seat belt cutter or a close cutter. It also has a flathead screwdriver/pry and a sharpening hone on the back. The concept behind this was a lightweight useful tool that was not to exspensive if lost or disposed of by the military person using it.

The other is the Glo-Toob FX. I use to deal with the Krill electronic glow sticks, but this is smaller and brighter. it has 7 options as well which are: Flash, Strobe, slow strobe, SOS, Throb, 100% on, and 25% low on. They have recently introduced a few adds on for these which is a light difuser, a belt pouch, and a new tailcap. The one being sent is just the basic tailcap, and the new tailcap and belt pouch has yet to hit the market. I'm going to send out a Green or a Blue one, but these come in a variety of different colours. They are waterproof to about 3,500 meters (yes that is correct!), run time of up to 80hrs, and use a 23A battery which is included as well. Has a keyring attachment as well. This may be athought for you that was looking for a strobe to put on your pets collar at night.

Email sent, but for God sakes don't tell the wife this little lot is coming!

I've already been a bad boy with a Tigerlight, 2 Inova XO's, a Peak, a Streamlight Keymate and about 6 Photon/Inovas in the last couple of months.

John - if its the Hatch D2 bag then I use one for all my duty gear I carry in the car.

Pretty good bag, I like the fact that all the sides are stiffened so it stays in shape without stuff in it.

Weighs far too much cos of all the stuff i carry but thats my fault not the bags :D
