I know we're heading into summer, and i can't vouch for the quality, but spotted this and thought i'd shout out. Down jacket

Oh that explains things haha I'm an idiot

Hey all been a long while since i've been on here. Fair weather bushcrafter obviously! Hope you are all well and staying warm. I had also come on here today to stick a couple of things in the classifieds, but it seems i dont have access. Have the rules changed? I know over at BritishBlades you...

I have a DD travel hammock (doesnt breath that well), so i prefer an underquilt, either a summer or no sleeping bag and sleeping in a tshirt. I find im able to control my temp much better, dont sweat as much and dont wake up with that clammy feeling. Trial and error though. My mates spend most...

Most people will feel the whoopie sling is all win win, but i personally think...

Had mine out the other night. 11 degrees, underquilt, sleeping in tshirt and shorts, using the tesco bag as a top quilt. i was toasty warm, but then 11 isnt that cold i suppoise. Might get a second one for colder weather, as its small light and i cant afford a better one!

Thanks for that. Is the huge difference in price waranted

Considering the official vibram five fingers site has a big 'beware of counterfeit merchandise' banner on their homepage, i'd be very careful. I also notice they dont have the latest shoes - so perhaps they're just selling off old stock??
