Swedish Army snow smock Appears to be unworn, very good condition. Width across chest is 70cm/27.5" so should fit a fairly large person over plenty of other clothes! I bought this from Endicotts some time ago but have never used it. £25 including UK post

Swedish army arctic smock, over the head style. Extra large, pit-to-pit measurement is 72cm Bought from Endicotts as unissued, condition is perfect as far as I can see. I bought it but never used it, now clearing my cupboards so selling for £20 including UK post.

I don't know if anyone here would be interested but it looks like a fun job opportunity for the summer. Full time Viking required, clothing and equipment provided! Apparently they are looking for a live-in Viking for a tourist attraction who can also do craft stuff...

I couldn't justify Fjallraven's prices so I made this. The outer layer is cotton tent fabric from an old Vango tent that I bought on Ebay for under £25 including post, and the inside is boiled wool/light loden that came from a fabric remnants shop local to me.

I'm a lifelong bushcrafter (over 50 years now which makes me feel very old) with all sorts of useful skills, but I've never tried wood carving. I've seen the wood spirits thread and I fancy having a go and I want to make a staff and a spoon and - you get the idea. I'm completely ignorant of...

I was delighted to find this excellent community and I've spent the last couple of days reading back through old posts. I grew up trampling over Dartmoor with my Dad and then spent several years in New Zealand where we kids ran wild in the local bush, building shelters, cooking over fires...
