    Sheep/ goat skin comparison.

    Go for Sheepskin Henchy, better than goatskin. Same as a pure sheep wool blanket is the best for retaining warmth even when wet. A close friend of mine used two of these skins, to which he sewed canvas to the skin side. But if you are not placing them directly on the earth, you don't have to...

    Belt Pouch.

    No mate I have not, the main problem for me being in the Southern Hemisphere is that one has to use the sundial back to front. I figured that would get rather confusing & simply not worth making a video on it. Time is of no import to me, but the compass can be useful for keeping a straight line...
