Either order a whip from french ebay, you can find it there sometimes, or ask Shakos GBL. I think Willem knows how to make them.

Yeah the whitening stuff is just for show really, I'll just get some pipe clay then.
I'll see about adding fire starting stuff in the future.
I have a large blanket but it's to big to go in the backpack, although if I have to wear my greatcoat I can try put the blanket on the greatcoat straps.
For cooking equipment I'm probably going to get those when I'm eventually going to move into the period camp.
Looks like I'm going to use a fair amount of linen, both to wrap stuff in and as period cleaning rags, I can probably get linen fairly easily locally.
I am seriously tempted to get a martinet because they were issued to 2 men each squad, depends how full my backpack gets I guess, and if anywhere even makes them.

Also does anyone know if The Sutler Store down under ships to the UK?
Thanks for the pointers Olafson.

Andy Burke is the man to go to in the UK for period shoes

Oooh thanks, does he make them to what the customer requires? I notice his infantry shoes mostly have buckles but I'd probably prefer mine with leather laces, awesome he does hobnails though .

I could always ask when I think I want to get one, would be an OK thing to have as a thing to talk about for living history.
