Same here, they tend to be on the larger size. Usually wear a L but i can wear M from woolpower. They have a lot of stretch also and should be a little bit snug if you want to wear it under something else.

I learned that the "hard way". I baked some bread in my duch oven and then sliced it while it was still warm. That knife went from looking brand new to a nice patina in 1 minute :)

I take nothing as carry on, everything goes in the suitcase/bagpack. I don't want to risk having to leave anything behind.

It should burn like a small jet, i put pine cones in it for instance and they do well. But make sure everything you put in is dry!

How about a good old grog :)

That would be a great Bond!!

I have had multiple "goretex (pro) jackets" from different brands and all of them failed pretty fast and didn't breathe all that well. I now have a Norrøna Dovre jacket, which was expensive but in my experience perfoms way better than any goretex jacket.

Someone pointed out this ebay auction to me of a very, very rought looking Woodlore. So i thought, with some luck i might just get this for cheap. Well, i was wrong, it went for $810,- Woodlore on ebay
