Poutch

It’s a patch that’s a pouch.

What on the face of it looks like a patch of my logo, is also a pouch that holds a knife, a flashlight and a ferrocerium rod.

NiteCore NTK05, TEC Accessories Pixel, and BCB Ranger Fire Lighter (the holder removed, and with a piece of cut down hacksaw blade as a striker).

WW2 Netherlands Escape Lines

Being from the Netherlands, and also having an interest in history, I found this really engrossing. A site devoted to telling the stories of (mainly) Dutch (but also Belgian, Luxembourger and French) people (don’t think it’s too hyperbolic of me to say heroes) who hid and helped shot down Allied flyers and return to their own lines, and Jewish onderduikers flee the Nazi’s clutches.

The people who did this, did so at an almost unfathomable risk to them selves and their families. Truly awe inspiring the courage they displayed. Lest We Forget.
