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???

Cheers!

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 :).

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.
