    Polish Lavvu on super steroids

    Just a thought...instead of stitching the bottom on the lavvu to the top of the extension piece why not overlap the bottom of the lavvu over the top of the extension piece and fix into place with buttons? (or some sort of cufflink type device and use the existing grommet holes) the surplus...

    Recycling outdoor clothing/equipment

    I thought that your regular charity shops will take anything. (Not sure if that goes for shoes though). What the cannot sell or not good enough to be put out for sale is sent away (or sold) to be shredded to make insulation, blankets etc. I would say pop into your local branch and ask them.

Not given a big test yet but the quality feels good, size is good and compressed size is good (think I would use these as part of a layered system).. let down is the compression sack. Holding the bag uncompressed is ok but when you squash...
