morning I'm looking for a good pair of gloves that will protect my hands from campfires and thorns. Suggestions much appreciated.
Comment appreciated but, i still will need good ones for the fire... Dutch oven an all that... i have a lot of pain in my thumbs and don't need anymore pain atm... same goes for the thorns... I'm pretty good with safety...You can find useful ones in garden centers, but:.....
Learn to handle and be around a fire and (thorny) nature without protection.
Safer that way, specially the fire.
I just use a pair (well just the left) of cheap gauntlets. About £5 a pair, they are good for the heat, but you can’t do anything with them on other than weld.Dry fluffy ( and washable) regular chef's oven mitts are good to 450F.
What sorts of leather gloves do welders in the UK wear?
Top mfgr of leather gloves here is probably Watson.
i just took a look and they would be perfect if i had bigger hands... they only do a large size... daaamnA friend has some fireman gloves. Very handy for the fire.
Just done a quick search on Amazon, and a good few come up there.
not enough dexterity for the wood collecting/sawing for me...I'm trying so hard to be civilized. In my former days, I just pulled my sweater/jumper sleeves down over my hands.
My partner hit the freakin' roof! Turned out that I MUST USE OVEN MITTS.
So I bought a few pairs of commercial kitchen mittens.
I'm guessing that really cold and dry, they might be pretty nice inside a shell mitten.
that certainly IS a bargain but again, i'd have them if they did a medium size... looks like i might have to go with a good pair of women gardening gloves or something similar...try these at screwfix, i have found them to be very handy(pun intended) at £5.99 a bargain.

the rose cutting ones would be great for rumaging in foliage etc but not so sure i'd want to get them anywhere near a fire... thanks though.Maybe Mechanix have something to suit. They come up a lot in gloves threads.
