Definitely, I wouldn't mind one to use around town, bar the price tag and the rather boxy cut. For wood use, I prefer better performance per weight. But as a 'civilian' overcoat, I wouldn't mind paying the ebay price,, maybe.

They are supposed to be white. Never seen them in any other colour. They must have dyed it? It should look like this: But I've now found references that there supposedly are grey-green versions out there. The company who made them are still in business. The quality of the sheepskin is...

Hepp! Found some, gotta get to work!

Where are you going? Get better goggles.

Got a fresh roe deer skin, how can I tan it diy style? I want to preserve the fur. It's two hours old so I need to fix it now! Links appreciated!

Deeper explanation, sharpen the two ends of the stick, put one in the ground, bend it to a parabolic shape, put the other end in the ground and stretch the shelter over it. The stick needs to be around the same length as the minor axis of the shelter, so it needs to be way longer than you first...

You should use a long flexible stick under the minor axis to get a round shape and keep the fabric of yourself. It makes it more stable and airy. I used it a lot in the army. It's okay for what it is, but heavy. Make sure you orient it so that the overlap in the head hole is pointing downwards.

Just get a decent sewing machine (e.g. singer 132k can be had for very little) and be done with it. Takes a bit more space than the drill press, but it's the same degree of machine vs hand work. Or maybe singer 45k class: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-RVjj6J--s

that link goes to coats craft and not industrial. The industrial thread has higher tolerances and specification..

Okay, that failed miserably. :) Can anybody tell me the make of the 250 grm linen bobbins from leprevo?

Failing to find one locally I wonder if somebody stepped over a webshop selling coats industrial sewing thread? I am specifically looking for their waxed linen thread on big cones, for sewing leather.

They got pretty bad reviews at utsidan.se, swedish outdoor community. The longetivity of seams and fabric and weight were common disappointments. There are two formal reviews at http://www.utsidan.se/reviews/viewreviews.htm?ID=3113 . Use google translate if you like. There were more comments on...

I'm pretty sure I know what spot would do with a rabbit if he caught one, which he easily would. I've seen him with some stuffed toy animals, hehe, a lot of shaking and biting. Problem is I would probably get arrested for hunting regulation crimes and animal cruelty.

The problem is that I couldn't find any coats at that price level. And I needed a big collar too.

He got a crack in the paw the other week (they are just starting to salt the streets now, wreaks havoc on the paws) so I bought a pair. We tried them indoors, and I put both on the front paws, man, I have never seen a sillier walk, jeezus, the poor mutt was doing some sort of disco jiggin'...

Thanks everyone for comments. Lovely lurcher there too. I was at a point looking for a lurcher, but they are uncommon here, and getting one from an irish shelter seemed to be like taking a chance. I bought the fabric from a local high street vendor, so the materials ended up around £15, had I...

I've somehow ended up being a dog owner. A very nice situation indeed. It's not a very typical bushcraft dog. I have always had something for sight hounds, originally I wanted a scottish deerhound or a Irish wolfhound. But the one who melted my heart was a big greyhound. So greyhound it is. As...

I misread the title, I read real trapper fur hat. www.trappern.se has real trapper hats. He's a real trapper and makes the hats himself with furs he has shot and prepped himself.

stumbled upon www.landscapegb.com . Fascinating stuff really, albeit a bit on the technical side, and maybe a bit too few contributors.. Interesting nonetheless.

Good that you finally got them Shewie.
