The silicone dots on the shells are quite effective

Those British overmitts are really good value, sizewise they fall between my OR types, a bit bigger than the Adrenaline mitten shells and smaller than the Mt Baker overmitten shell. An XL will fit over my HighCamp trigger finger in XL for a really warm combo, for something less bulky go down a...

I get better results usually with the cups sitting on the other orientation, but windshields matter a lot.

Try Indian grocery stores as well. That is where I have seen similar down under

If I was serious about this I'd just get a pack of lifeboat rations. Long shelf life; relatively easy to open [ although a knife helps] and reasonably energy efficient. Next is my plastic bottle of olive oil and jelly beans. But seriously if we are talking about below freezing conditions the...

As one with over 30 years of professional experience I second the Cessarani and Kinton and/or Kracknel and Kaufman but for pure love of cooking the original Joy of Cooking [ Not any of the updates --- The first edition] but the best teacher is experience, both cooking and eating. Larousse is for...

The company just got back to me. While their XXL down jacket will fit me I can't fit into the La Fayette while wearing one. So that bag is another one struck from the list and I simply can't afford to buy from PHD. I may however buy one of the Troll jackets as a LW option to my big Linebacker...

I've never heard it called anything but Hootchie cord, never jungle cord.

It's braided polyester with no central cord and it is between 1.2mm and 1.5mm diametre and it breaks at about 100kg. An acceptable substitute is LW Venetian blind cord and if it has to be a camouflage colour just dye it, however personal experience with white cord in the bush is that it turns...

Not common in Australia so no local feedback. Are they well made and well regarded? Now one of the few to make a centre zip sleeping bag designed to be used with Alpine clothing as part of the seep system. Now that Nunatak no longer make theirs I am looking for a LW replacement Specifically the...

Maybe what you need is an old fashioned drovers coat with a button in polyester lining. Haven't seen one in yonks

Getting a long length plus insulation at a reasonable cost and not wanting to wear surplus is a pretty tall order.

I think you have to look at Canadian and American parkas if you want warm and also tough and these tend to be heavy and not versatile. I just got my daughter such a parka as her partner is a Canuck. I weighs over 3 kilos [ size Small] because it uses a combination of low fill power duckdown and...

Grandkids now but I've taught many apprentices over the decades

A cooking apprenticeship is 4 years; but really learning how to cook takes a lifetime and it doesn't work if you don't love [ really LOVE] food. 60 years on and I'm still learning as well as teaching the next generations

Which version? I can keep an eye open here if I know which one to look for. Postage would be about $80- AUD tho

I have a couple of small 'Mids, and a stove jack but I've always meant to modify one of them with a short wall before using a stove in either. Stoves take up so much room that 4P 'Mid becomes a solo tent for my big bod and white season gear. Adding a short wall adds so much extra usable space...

Have you checked your stash of spare pegs yet?

The one pattern I could be persuaded to buy is the [ now obsolete] Australian jellybean pattern and colourway. Although I could be persuaded on the TigerStripe if it came up on sale

P-37 small pack. Practically unkillable if just a bit on the small side and Indian made are dirt cheap and easily waxed for that solid Bushcraft look
