hello, first time poster here. Ive enjoyed reading this forum. I am a habitual woods lurker and tent dweller on the mid coast of Maine, usa. and have been known to eat the ocasional squirrel. I have a 2xl swandri bushshirt (too bad xmas is only once a year) and was wondering where I could find a water proof or resistant jacket that is long enough to cover the bush shirts hem. thanks woody
Who makes a smock long enough to cover a swandri bush shirt?

Are you trying to cover the bush shirt completely because when I got mine I thought it was hard to cover it because of the length so I got some buttons and stiched them into the inside of the jacket. So I could fold it up and down when I needed to. Its now the same length as my waist so all jackets can fit over it. Dunno if that helps.

Try the Swazi Tahr - That would certainly be long enough.

It interesting to see the two solutions that take such extreamly different aproaches. And and a 230 pound difference in cost. I think I'll look for a trench coat to shorten, dye olive and waterproof. I just need to avoid the "trench coat mafia" look. I wore out my grandfahters ventile anorak about 10 years ago.
I had all the same gear you guys are carrying ( ventile, mora,pocket hatchet, mocasins, and surplus poncho, pack, pad and"kit" In general) , but never heard the term bushcraft. Dirty Hippie yes I heard that. Spent 6 years In the pacific northwest , alot of that time living out of a pack. I may have grown up but I still try to live in a tent or on a small boat at least 6 months of the year... you can take a hippie out of the dirt , but you cant take the dirt out of a hippy. woody

Its not waterproof but im just wondering if you could proof it still wouldnt be waterproof but could be water resistant to a certain degree.
I'll have a look out for anything else I see that will cover the bush shirt but cant think of much except poncho.

Good luck finding one or making your own.
