My traditional kit: canvas and leather!

[Clouston98]

Well I don't really have much kit along traditional lines like that, but I get where people are coming from with the look and feel thing - I think I'm feeling that warm glow too!

Lovely kit and pics - thanks for sharing.

Haha cheers mate!

Fantastic set up you have there, I'm really starting to see the appeal of traditional stuff. I've not seen the kanteen blanket before is that like a bivi bag???

It's just an open square sheet of wool backed G1000, but I guess it could be used like a bit of an envelope bag if folded in half, but I generally just use it as a ground pad

what ya think of the pinewood shirts?

Missed this sorry mate.

They're great, I chose it over a Fjallraven which was very similar, saw the fjallraven and waited for a pinewood in stock, both just as good but the pinewood one was fifty odd quid cheaper and it's done me well since last year, comfy warm but breathable and a good bit of kit all round .

That's already started, tool rolls to hold the sharps, it'll only get worse (or is it better, better for me!)

Lovely looking set up. I was jealously thinking "well we can't all have that kind of money to spend" but then I realised that I have probably spent double what that lot cost over the years buying crap and less suitable stuff (not that I have many regrets). I think If I had access to some nearby woodland that I could fully utilize I might switch to similar stuff. Sadly I have no where local that I can have many wood fires or make much in the way of shelters hence the need for more modern kit.
