Half the fun is waking up to find out where exactly you have put yourself for the night, and why so very close to that ravine edge :)

https://bushcraftuk.com/community/threads/leather-craft_show-us-what-leather-goods-you-have-made-past-present.157159/ There is a very accomplished leather-worker, Geoff Wood, goes as GeoffW on some sites - I imagine he is here too. Can make anything out of anything. EDIT - he is GeoffWood here

There's a few options out there. Hilltrek (as mentioned) have a number of good models in single and double layers. Tilak has the Odin. Haar has one too. There is quite a lot of ventile used in more fashionable options which are well made and modelled on standard smocks, available used (Snow...

Woolpower top and bottom baselayer. 200gsm. Not new. They look pretty much unused, but I am giving them a good old wash :)

Who is voting for these people? It is nutty

Someone mentioned the Manly Patriot. Good knife that. Brisa make excellent kits.

Glad to see you found that E15, OP I have got one of those Titans that Pokem has. It is likeable, simple and very robust. I think I must find it a little bit heavy because I don't carry it that often, though. Mainly, I have an old Klarus, long out of production. But I have recently taken to...

Thanks .. that's great info:)

- oops wrong thread

Spring's a long way off here. It's -20c but very sunny. Spring's not til April (if we're lucky) What I like most is the prospect, the anticipation of mid-Spring. Coolish, sunny weather with sculptural, dazzling couds, a light breeze and Hawthorn in full bloom. Brogues and brandy kind of weather.

I think, first, we should remember what the OP was referring to. A particular case, and a landmark, one made difficult to swallow because of the way these particular 'farmers' are actually hedge-fund owners who want to have holiday rentals and game shooting. Wildcampers aren't compatible with...
