[Red Fox]

Thanks Dave it was a very thick blanket i used,I like the look of the swannies some people i know wear them and say thay are excellent.

Only yours cost £10...!
How much a Swannies going for these days..£100 - 200..
Can't fault your decision plus you have a practically unique top...

I have made a sami belt and a wool sleeping bag liner and for the guys on the trip to finland i have made wool food bags to go in our snow smocks thay will act like pom poms.

I like those mate. Very authentic looking. Funnily enough im just looking for some old garments suitable for making some wool neck bags. Want somewhere to keep the cold sensitive kit like batteries. Thinking i might convert a scarf to have some pockets on the end and stuff it in my layers.

 

[Red Fox]

Thanks Paul ... .I like the pockets on a scarf ,thats a very good plan,you have got me thinking about pockets and how to use them,I like Shackletons front chest pockets thay are in a good place for food, maps, cameras, ice fangs ect. yore neck bag plan will do the same job ...

I have made this sami sewing kit for my belt today,I like the idea of haveing a sewing kit handy for emergencies.sory about the bad phots.

I picked up one of those Austrian jumpers a couple of months ago too, fantastic bit of kit, mine is dated 1983 and is in mint condition, easy to see why they cost £300 new.

Thay cost 300 new ,I did get it at a bargin then. Mine to is from the 1980s and in fantastic condition thay are the dogs.The Dachstein mitts are very warm and go well with the Swedish army mittens that toodogs put up.

I have just got one of the Hudson bay knifes from Condor for about $40 and it is well worth the cash it will be very useful when wearing mittens.Like a leuku the knife of the sami but the hudson is a lot cheaper,But the sami knifes are a work of art. ...
