Outstanding Goals/experiences for 2024
- Thread starter Tony
- Start date
Mine for the rest of the year is I wanna try a 2 night wild camp, now Im competent at making hot meals. I'm extremely worried about pack weight, I've no idea what to trim down & especially with having to add additional water for a longer distance. It's a learning process!
Oh and I want to make some clothes, some kinda lowkey viking shirts and over garments.

Do you mind me asking what the cause is? Is it hereditary?
As I'm now in my 30's and I'm starting to find myself more susceptible to minor injuries, this is something that's on my mind a lot, prolonging the health of my body and mainly my joints.
Thank you, I hope you get it sorted. Do check out Knees over Toes Guy, he had bad knees and had to have operations, he developed workouts to strengthen the knees, it's all free on his YouTube channel.
A good idea.
Most of the clothing I make is historical or is at least “historically inspired” pre-renaissance type stuff. Removable linings are not something I’ve noted but a good research project!
A separate lining for a simple wool coat is quite doable. I am tempted.
I've done quite a bit towards my goals.
I made the sinew cordage
I'm halfway to a plastic free kit load out. Made my spoon, and spatular, Just the tarp and groundsheet to go, and actualy start on making the wool sleeping bag. I've got most of the elements. So the bag is a winter project, and the cotton tarp and groundsheet will have to wait untill the better weather, as they need a fair few days outside drying time.
Knife sharpening..I did a short workshop, and learned the basics...resulted in a slashed pinkie on my newly razor sharpe knife. Duh!
My medicinal herb garden has been constructed and the plant collection is work in progress.
Only outstanding item is the wilderness first aid course, which proved impossibly difficult without transport.
I feel I've done quite well.
I'll have to think of more stuff for next year. I think it's a great idea to set some goals for oneself.

You got me interested in the subject, there's not a lot that's new. So I thought it very likely that winter liners were an obvious option for poor working folk with very limited wardrobe. My searches however, failed to pull anything up, except "Renaissance Peasant Clothing". ( noting your interest is before this period)A good idea.

It seems the period answer was to wear more layers, in effect liners. So here we are today still advocating the same thing!
Yes, I think some of it comes from poorer folk having limited clothing. So really layering being the only option with base layer linens keeping the insulation clean.
I have lined a long wool coat with heavy linen before and this is very wind proof. Stiffer than wool alone but not an issue for flexibility. I didn’t get the sleeve cut quite right but it did work.

These guys have an interesting take on clothing from the point of actually “working” in it.

Ha! Went to just have a quick peer at the website and spent ages reading it. I think they are right, you need to actually use the clothing in context to understand it. I have a few examples of that but not for this thread.Yes, I think some of it comes from poorer folk having limited clothing.

One thing they missed were the leg wraps, shown in the old pictures - essential kit in the forests and snow etc - and they suffered for it per their winter outing. Also needed on the fields, the mud just seems to climb up the legs when beating or working.
