limited kit and blanket backpack(pic heavy)

[stuart f]

nice simple plan for the shirt, a new bcuk trend just speak nice to a few sewers i know and try steal the idea, shamelessly

and just to echo the aboce comments a great thread

Hi Webbie,the reason i got the wife to make the blanket shirt was because i also wear a ventile smock which doesn't like sparks from a fire,so when sitting in front of a sparky fire out comes the wool shirt and i put it on over the ventile. Oh the wife made this also.

Heres my ventile

Cheers Stuart.

fantastic post - gives me the 'itchy feet' to go out and be simplistic. its so much more rewarding knowing you've relied on your skills and knowledge rather than loads of modern 'kit'
also love the wool blanket shirt
great stuff

That looks good. I like people getting out at *doing* things, and in particular when they show that you can make do with very little kit. I like to say that once you know how to make do *without* the kit, then you know why you carry a certain piece of kit.
