    For Sale DULUTH CANVAS PACK - WANDERER??

    For sale is a Duluth canvas pack, I believe it's an older model made in 2007 and it doesn't have the carry handle the modern version has. No rips or tears with one exception. One of the straps for the main compartment has been chewed so I've tidied it up. A solid pack in great condition...

    Alternatives to ventile?

    If you're against both Ventile and Goretex, or derivatives thereof, look at the Paramo stuff, I've little experience but didn't like it. Alternatively look at the Arktis B310 Smock. Hard wearing poly cotton outer with a drop liner inside, I've worn it in pretty heavy prolonged rain and been...

    Alternatives to ventile?

    I’ll challenge that inasmuch in what is your expectation? I have had my double Ventile smock on for a full day in driving rain on an open hill and still been dry inside. Your denim jacket may work as well as a single layer Ventile although not knowing your denim jacket I don’t know how wind...

    Alternatives to ventile?

    Single layer Ventile is really only wind and to a point shower proof. Double is waterproof but is heavy and as stated a bit of a bugger to dry. I have a Hilltrek Cruachan DV smock and love it. I love wearing it and look forward to autumn and winter to wear it. Spring and summer it’s too hot...

    Camp Steamer?

    I have this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Keith-Ti6300-Titanium-Foldable-Multipurpose/dp/B01N0E2LT1 A lovely little one pot to cook rice, veg and meat. I don’t use it a lot because I prefer using camping food to ease with the cleanup. When it was released there was mention of creating a pressure...

    Energy Bar Recommendations.

    Trek, have some variations which are good but not too sure on lifex. Some/most have only natural ingredients and are all the better for it. Clif bars are okay taste wise but full of bits. I picked up some protein flapjacks from B&M with more than 12 months life. Tasty enough...

    Poor quality boots

    For lightweight boots I go for the AKU Pilgrim. You can find new or used MOD version (they come in as many colours as you like as long as it's brown) for about £100. Fit like a glove.
