Are you good at detecting studs then? Seems an odd hobby but each to their own…
I agree , it's weird looking.
It's a deadlift jack.
Although I don't mind lifting a barbell , loading and unloading the plates ( when on the ground ) is a massive PITA , so you use this to attach at an angle to the barbell then use the leverage to pivot it off the ground for loading , unloading.
That or it's some sprinters prosthetic leg.
Another charity shop haul. A heat powered stove fan for my woodburner. £4.50 bargain!
And a pure wool scarf that is so big, I could easily make a middi skirt out of it, £3.50. I think this will be great for travelling with a small neck pillow.

Two dozen pancakes, six tins of sardines, a tin of spreadable scallops, a big tin of squid, biscuits, salted butter caramels.
Apologies for the slow reply, well so far i plan on full length side Zips to assist in venting and donning said garment. I’ve been mulling over using some fabric paint, a dark brown perhaps or maybe a dark green to paint the inside of the hood as the smock is reversible to Winter White camouflage. Then again i may just leave that as it could be useful for Winter time Wildlife observations.

As it's not possible to machine-dye the whole thing without also dyeing the brown side, your only option is to use a dye like Jacquards fabric paint, applied by brush. I tried it to make the old WW2 british brushstroke camo, and it was very very tricky, so I gave up on that. However, one thing that you could easily do with those paints is to make something like a pine-needle blotch kind of camo, using dark green on the white side. I bet it would look great.
Apparently, what I described is a thing... look up 'schneetarn'.
Paul Kirtley's latest book, Core Buscraft. I paid for it a little while ago and it arrived today
First impressions are it's great book, lots of very clear pictures and it's well writen.
