Yet another question.
Do you rough filter water prior to boiling? If so do you use a millbank or are you going more traditional and using a bandana?

Looks beautiful, but I imagine that it's a pain to dry out if it gets wet at all!
Thank for posting that up

Yeah I have thought about that, may get round to it at some point! It is surprisingly comfortable though considering.
Re compass: I have several simple compass's that I use but I don't go anywhere that I need them that often so I left it out
Going to get myself a nice one at some point though!
nice simple kit.
did you make the canvas bedroll yourself?
No unfortunately, I got it in a trade with cowboy about a month or so ago, beautiful piece of work, love it!
To be honest I've only recently become aware of the millbank bags, but I don't think I'll bother with one as a bandanna has been perfectly fine up till now and allot smaller than a millbank bag!

I haven't used it all in the rain yet, but yeah I can imagine! aha. That's one of the reason's I'm going to be using some more modern equipment in the winter. It's just more comfortable when the weather is harsh.
It's just the right size to fit me under and my pack id guess at 9ft x 5ft. Perfect for just a bit of cover in the summer
Why didn't you tell us about the vid ? .......we can get a better idea of the set-up.
