This is a new manufactured stove for the large canvas tent, but I think that it can be used in a lot of camping situations. They are made by Four Dog Stoves out of St. Frances, Mn. The company has been around since 1988 but base their stuff off of vintage and primitive stoves. Plus you can cook...
Back when I was doing the American Mountain Man thing I had made my own two pole tent or lean-to. It involved of course, two poles and one cloth, maybe two if you want a ground cloth inside. You had a few pegs and some lengths of rope to hold it all together. I used that thing in the winter with...
Actually the Bergmutze I picked up was one of the one you get on ebay from one of the reenactors stores (Hiki Shop). I just cut off the stitched on BEVO insignia, and voila, instant civilian alpine cap. I also have a black panzer feldmutze with no insignia on it at all, and I always get...
Yes, I agree. Much more practical and sturdy. His looks like it belongs where he is at.
It's just funny, if you look around you see so many clothing companies copying military clothing of WWII from both sides. Maybe making a few tweaks here and there to make it their own style so to speak, but...
Well, I also managed to find the pink melmac coffee cups that I was looking for. My folks had these years ago when we used to go camping a lot, but I had no idea where they went to. Probably lost in a yard sale before my Pop had sold his house & the travel trailer with it. Anyway, I found a...
I was looking at the preview & some behind the scenes clips for the film North Face. Looks like a good amount of fedoras and other sorts there in a 1936 setting.
Cheers!

I never leave the house without one. I just don't feel complete without a lid on my noggin, like I forgot something. The hat can be a fedora, a flat cap/newsboy or maybe even a bergmutze and it will depend on the weather on which kind, but there is always some sort of topper. Ball caps are left...
You know, it's funny. I was looking at this image here.
Then I realized that the U.S. Mackinaw is now being reproduced by Gap, just lacking the belt.
Nowhere near as sturdy and useful, but it goes to show that the military clothing of WWII is contemporary street clothing of today. I've even...
Well, I finally won a Swedish Trangia mess kit on ebay. Who knew it could be so hard to win one of those or that the market seemingly dried up? It's like I wanted one so all of a sudden they became overpriced and scarce. When I first looked without interest they were all over the place. Luckily...
The latest in carnation of A Christmas Carol with Jim Carry. Thought it was pretty well put together. You could see some elements of Jim Carry for sure, but at the end when he was saved and he was calling to the boy in the street he was really channeling Alastair Simms. All in all not a bad...
I just hope that the screen writers don't botch up the story too badly. From the visuals in the trailer, I'm interested to see how the story will play out.

Here is another trailer on Youtube. I think this one is more gripping and tense.

And a couple of clips from the film...

They finally opened it and it isn't half bad. Go figure. If I remember correctly this is the wreck that they found the beer on as well.
Cheers!

Gijoe, that looks mighty cold there. Well done though, my hat's off to you. One question, what kind of socks or foot wraps did you use and are your boots the kind with the rubber lower half?
Cheers!
