...with a hood? Thanks to a very generous Zambezi, I have a nice dry Flecktarn ex German Army Goretex jacket. I do have one slight problem with it however. As I generally wear a bush type hat, I don't have the hood up which means, as it's waterproof, it makes a great water carrier. At least...

I reckon this is the most apt forum for this question but if a mod decides other wise, please feel free to move it :D I'm looking for 10 logs about 8' long and about a foot across at one end. Birch with the bark on would be preferable but I knopw this is going to be a difficult enough thing...
