    I've always wondered about the Midi pump.
    I have a couple of the Mini's and really like them, I won't fire my 8R's without them now.

    Your 8R is in very nice condition. I like the Boy Scout knife, too. The Ice Ax, Scout mess kit and percolater make a good photographic composition.

    In my collecting of an antiques I believe luck plays a bigger role than budget.

    The mess kit is Bulldog Brand from the late 60's, maybe, which rarely find in Thailand than any 8R. Talk about the ice axe which rarely seen in Thailand hiking scene cause there's no snow here but only me, maybe, who utilize ice axe during most of my camping/hiking life for long. It proved worthy to have it on my hiking.
