Haha, Mowmow you are right! Thanks very much, maybe I should have bought a medium then. I agree the zipper is a pain to do up. I'm planning to wear it under my motorcycle jacket in the winter, I'm sure it makes for a soft pillow as well.

Hi guys, I bought this jacket at the Bushcraft show in a large, the seller gave me a new one from the packet. When I've tried in on at home it seems much larger than what I tried on at the show! The packet says large but there are no labels on the jacket itself, just thinking it a XL might have...

I had a Exped Synmat HL which I too was impressed with the pack size and weight, up until the one way valve failed in just over a year of very light use. Looking online, apparently failure of the exped mats is quite common.

Sorry I should have been more specific. Something less than 30x15 packed. Life time warranty, winter camping under a tarp, don't mind spending if the product is worth it. Would comprise on maybe 3 season camping under tarp and warranty to 5 years. Cheers

Hi guys, I'm looking for an insulated ground air mat to use in conjunction with a German Army folding ground mat. Need it for moto camping/hiking/wild camping so ideally something light, has a small pack size, decent warranty, in a muted colour, warm enough for the British winter, non slip, and...

I'd be up for that. PM incoming

Broch + 1 Davey569 Greg.g + 1 CipherDias possibly +1 Wushuplayer (unless horrendous weather!)

Had to look up what 'Clegs' are! I think they have a nasty bite right? Does the Lifesystems Expedition Plus stuff damage equipment, waterproofs etc?

Snow?! What does one do to protect against biting insects with a bivvy set up anyway, sleep with head net and cap?

I'm planning to do the North Coast 500 in the 1st 2 weeks of October. Do you reckon midges will still be a problem then? I was considering taking a tarp and bivvy bag to save space as I'll be traveling by motorcycle, good idea or bad idea?

I'll take these please? Will send a PM

That looks like lovely work. I'm looking to make something similar for my axe. What thickness of leather did you use, any rain why you chose to stitch it as oppose to rivets, anything you would do differently if you had the opportunity to make another one?

Is there a hinge at the base of the left arm, do you find it opens enough?

That looks great, I like the quick release system, is that from a bicycle wheel? May I ask, what would you modify?

Yeah that is so true. I should really put a post in the wanted forum for leather tools. Thanks for the links.

I was also looking at one on Amazon but they look pretty flimsy. There are so many designs on Youtube, ones which are fixed, ones which swivel, table top, under thigh! Any one you would recommend?

does this seem like a reasonable kit for a beginner looking to get into leather craft? Axe masks, knife sheaths, sewing leather patches, simple projects...

Hi, may I ask what chest size are you and what jacket size do you usually wear, S,M L? Thanks

Hi, I've just purchased a Romanian backpack and bread bag, the leather straps are as stiff as a piece of bread that's been in the freezer for a year! What do you suggest that will make them more supple? Thanks.

Thanks! Might have a bash at forming one in Aluminum if that fails will buy one of these.
