Vihe Loue II. Mine came from here ~ http://www.scandinavianoutdoorstore.com/en/teltat-ja-majoittuminen/laavut-ja-louteet/ . Be aware that the marketing pics make it look palatial, I'm very glad I went for the II over the I

There's a pattern on the forum somewhere ~ I'll have a look see and edit it in here when I find it
EDIT: For the MYOG's aboard, or for those who might have access to someone a bit handy with scissors and a needle ...
I think that one of the best shelter design you can carry with you is the traditional loue. Here is a simple pattern for two man loue from a 1936 edition of Pieni retkeilyopas book. Depending of the material (linen is adviced), the weight of the final product should be about from one to one and a half kilograms.

It's a toss up for me between my brasher hill walker gtx boots and my synmat 7!!

The Matt made a huge difference though, started the year on a trip in jan where it got down to minus 6 in a cheap self in flaring Mat, never had a cold night since!!

A one way train ticket from Inverness to Chester. It marked the start of a new job as a kids activity instructor, taking me out of an office 9-5. I took part in delivering the first Bushcraft session in the company earlier in the year, and am working to expand on what we teach. I'm hoping this effort will help me when I go for a contract extension / promotion in 2013.
Kit wise, well, I'll see what the postie brings today as it may change

Wow I would have never thought a computer could be a bushcraft purchase until now
It is stretching a point
However - I dont buy gear in the normal way of things ... I buy the bits to make gear (or get it given to me
).The computer is the one completed item I have paid cash for that has a leisure use in any way Bushcrafty
Trades, makings, review kit - these I have not counted as "bought kit"
Courses I did not think of either ... perhaps I should have mentioned the Bushmoot ticket.....

John, do you include pink sporks with cases then? We know you lust after them in secret.
