I finally found some on that well known auction site - believe it or not. and I've been looking for ages. They are actually an experiment. I want to know if they have the same warmth to ratio properties of other lightweight materials used for socks; as Yak wool and down are a little bit lighter than knitted lambs wool. But like lambs wool, keep you warm when wet. When I have received and tested them, will let you know how they perform. I have a Yak Wool blanket/throw and it is as lightweight as a medium fleece material. Really soft and warm.

Cheers - looking forward to the review

Just got a plastic sledge( very cheap ) for the coming snow and cold weather better to pull all my kit than carry it. I love bushcrafting in the snow the deeper the better. as not a soul is around. I have the hole world to myself.

TOTALLY agree. Bring on this so called "awful" weather!

Now I'm going to see if I can make a caldera cone with this free trial software and a tin oil can...

Just bought a peanut lighter, a wire keyring, and a tiny spyderco knife for edc. Considering an Exotac nanostriker now...

Also bought a bodywarmer from an online auction site that you've probably never heard of...

 

[Mesquite]

A new Kakadu packer hat to replace the one I left in the lake district

I was in Tavistock today and on "impulse" bought one of these

When I say impulse I have been eying them up for a while but it wasn't till I got a wee Gelert stove that I knew I needed one
Funny enough it doesn't work with my Primus Mimer but it all fits with the Gelert and a Coleman solo pan set
I am going lighter for winter this year

Just bought a Pulk shell.

Going to have fun now sorting out the harness system and the load fixings.

Good buy Wayland, I fancy one of those myself They do a nice bag for it to sit for flights too.

I just pulled the triger on a custom made pair of RBH VBL socks

 

[Wayland]

It was delivered in two big plastic sacks that will serve the purpose fine for me for a while.

Can agree with that! I just have to muster up the courage and motivation to sleep out there in snow - so far, I've never done it.

Does anyone group up for bushcraft winter camping?

 

[Miniwhisk]

The bed roll arrived today. Got into a pickle with the buttoning system but eventually made a good bed up. Really like the outer layer as it looks like it will provide quite good protection when it is misty or drizzly.

Still waiting for the Yak wool socks though.

Just ordered a pair of these Danner boots. http://www.tactical-kit.co.uk/danner-desert-tfx-gtx-mojave-military-boots-26010-7833-p.asp

I've been after a pair of lightweight comfortable boots for tracking and camping out for a while. These ones have a gore tex liner so are waterproof, unlike most desert type boots. They've had great reviews stateside so I'm looking forward to giving them a go. Hopefully they'll be here for the weekend
