Interested in the statement that Woodlore said they were going back to SMG to discuss some of the OP's observations. SMG, surely, will have been given a design brief by Woodlore to produce a product at a certain cost. SMG will have shown Woodlore at least one pre-production example and...

PM'd you about the bag.

Hi Vince, Go to your nearest Cotswold Outdoor, we enjoy a good working relationship with Hanwag's importers. We can easily get Tatra Bunion boots. Cheers Paul

I'm just about to buy an Air Arms S410 carbine and am keen to get a sling for it. I'd really like to have something a little unique and wondered if any of the leather workers on here might have any suggestions. I think I'd like the sling to be cobra shaped and certainly decorated but the...

I've got one of these minus the stake out loops and I'm extremely pleased with it. Very light, boosts the warmth of my bag, deters condensation drips and keeps my WM Sycamore bag clean.

I have one of these (though from a different seller) and I can thoroughly recommend it. An excellent windproof layer that goes over the top of everything else and has lots of pockets. When I'm doing fieldwork in the winter, this is my go-to shell when it's not raining and it's normally worn...

I wear a great deal of MEC gear and I've found the vast majority of it to be extremely well thought, durable and very good value for money. Sometimes the colours can be a bit odd (I was told by a deputy manager at the Calgary branch that MEC got what Patagomia didn't in terms of organic cotton)...

Now that would make a great fishing day shelter.

For fieldwork, especially solo fieldwork on foot, I've found MOLLE pouches invaluable. Empty finds bags in one; full finds bags in another; GPS and notebook in another; pens, pencils etc. on an admin panel; camera pouch on waist belt etc., etc Lunch, drinks and spare clothing stay in a small...

Currently I use the following: 1. Karrimor Observer. No more than 15 litre capacity, this is a 1980's birdwatcher's bag with a vacuum flask sleeve, pen slots in the front pocket and a removable back/seat pad. Appears to be more or less indestructible! 2. Karrimor Delta 35. Once one...

The 45 litre patrol pack looks very sensible - a mini Sting. Now how do I smuggle yet another green rucksack into the house?

Very nice. Personally I love the Italian Alps (fascinating flora and fauna) but trying to convice SWMBO to try other mountain ranges apart from the Canadian Rockies takes a great deal of hard work and with the Euro exchange rate at present, I think I'm on a hiding to nothing.

I'm really struggling to find a pair of non-Goretex three season boots that will fit my narrow unBritish feet! Anyone any suggestions?

I'm sure that jacket is the one Mears had made either by a Woodland Cree or Inuit craftsman
