The book reminds me of RM's book Bushcraft, the big folio sized edition. Lots of lovely pictures makes it more of a coffee table reference and inspiration book than a field guide. I'm not sure how that is going to translate into kindle format

I can vouch for the quality of work and service from Dixie's. Lumbar mod would likely not be worth it if you are not planning on big weight, you'll not be chafing from a light load. Did look and feel good on the demo Bergen in the shop though. I got my old Roc modded with wider straps and have...

Collins book is very good - these are well worth a look too: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Know-Your-Conifers-Forestry-Commission-Booklet-N-Herbert-L-Edlin-Paperback-/141809748761?hash=item2104850b19:g:sBIAAOSwsB9WElKi and...

Hmm - has anyone got a picture of a smock in cinnamon then?

@ corso - perfect well - back to olive then... if only they did a "tussock"

@ Bilmo - brilliant - many thanks for that. Looks far lighter and more grey than I thought. Hmm - might well go for olive after all. @ Nonsuch - ta - I just spotted a smock on ebay that must be Bronze then. Thanks

Booked in to see him in Llandudno. Seen him twice before and have been impressed with his public speaking both times. I've read the autobiography and found it a good book. Given how much he normally keeps his cards close to his chest, there are some surprisingly candid bits and snapshots...

Tussock by a country mile - fantastic neutral natural shade, sits well in many environments, with no military overtone too - a sort of olive / coyote tan mix

does anyone have pictures of garments in either of these 2 colours? I'm trying to compare with olive. I've seen the swatches on the ventile site - but I think seeing a made-up garment would show better. many thanks

you can buy one for £60 - http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=spot+gps&_sacat=0&_from=R40

because you need to round the piece for turning as well as possible - or suffer massive chatter which feels nasty when turning, knackers your fine chisel edge, and can throw the piece off centre. Generally not helpful when learning to turn. You can faff with your axe, far easier with draw knife...
