Got a Woolpower Long John today. But it's way too small. I have a Woolpower shirt in XS and it fits fine, so I ordered them in XS, too. But no way I fit into these! After having a look at their sizing chart I realized that I need an M. Luckily I can return them and get the right size!

Happy happy happy. There'll be pictures, oh yes.
I'll probably be trying out the stove over the winter. Many times.

Have a frontier stove for my Tipi and LOVE it. Great to come back to on a driech day in the woods with an already warm kettle waiting for a brew! Next trip we're trying anthracite cobbles for a overnight burn test. Just need to look out an old grate plate to put inside. Let us know what you think of the water jacket too! Not sure on it's usefulness for just two folk yet over a kettle, though for groups it seems ideal.

Tombear, that's a proper explorers case for your compass. Reminds me of the gear that you see in books that belonged to folks who "Found" places and great rivers. Nice, have to show a picture of you compass in it. It would be nice.

Its a 1943 Mk III. The bubble in it has got so big that it needs sorting, I guess it will cost some. I used it a lot in the 1980s when I was doing a lot of walking on the moors where it really helped being able to take seriously accurate bearings. I've also got the lads great grandads WWI prismatic.

Found some interesting info on refilling a prismatic on the Milsurps forum.

Meet Aspen the newest member of the Forest Knights team. She is a 2 week old Spanidor. Springer Lab X.

She will be ready to leave her Mum just in time for Christmas.

Way too cute, not going to let the Boss or Daughter see that piccie. Although I am struggling to think of a cross that would produce a more mental animal, possibly genetically engineer
in some hyperactive hummingbird?
