Good video. Great info & ideas. When in Army back in the '70's, I had a jacket made of an old style ponch & army wool blanket. Kept me dry 7 warm over in Germany. Keep up the good work & good luck on the tiny home project.
That Swannie is the bushman/hunter version they don't want a front pocket, this is to keep it sleek in the dense wet forest. One of the other versions has full length double zip that opens from top or bottom,it has a zip off hood and lower front side pockets and one small internal pocket to make 4 in total
I finally got a pair of muck boots this year and glad for it! Very similar to the lacrosse from what I hear. I got a size and a half bigger than my norm and go with the bigger boot socks, maybe even with those very same hiker darn toughs as a second sock. Had to learn the hard way for years before getting boots way bigger than I am used to but I can see now there is huge value in being able to have room for an air pocket in the toe area. Need to get a good pair of pants now that I can afford it, so I'm looking for something good for bikepacking and hiking which won't get torn in the seat and is easy to clean off out in the wild if needed. Going to check into the wool swannie that looks great. My outer shell holds in heat but traps condensation. Hoping to try vapor barrier liners like for inside my down sleeping bag so I can extend its life. Thanks for being a great teacher!
Hahahaha Right on Time…I just got back from playing a Show, it was outside….48 and windy hahaha…And Here’s your video about clothes hahaha appreciate the whole breakdown..Not many folks talk about their layers…Hahahaha So since I knew it was gonna be cold and windy….I wore a thin wool mix long sleeve undershirt and a Wool turtleneck sweater from Scotland hahaha The only thing that got cold hahaha were my hands..Can’t really wear gloves playing the upright bass hahaha..Awesomeness Video Homeslice
That's a great system 🤙🏼 I too really like Meriwool 260g merino wool base layers. They have plenty of colors. Then a helikon tex pilgram top (like JJ wears) I don't use a scarf like that, but do wear merino wool gaiter around my neck. I made an anorak similar to your outer layer from a USGI blanket. But that Is reserved for the coldest of conditions. Typically, I opt for final thick thermal layer which is button up. Over that is a thin rain/wind jacket with hood. That allows me to keep the rain/wind barrier even if I have to shed the other layers. I might have to try a puffer vest, that's one thing ive never used.
Wool is my favourite. I am lucky enough to have a loden smock/anorak similar to the Swanni. Windproof and super water resistant. Not a fan of Wellington boots though, cold and uncomfortable
@ONThree Your a good man bro. Still gonna give ya shiot from time to time though. Your hilarious 😂 love your channal. We can see your passion for it too
I have to have a layer of cotton between me and wool due to the fact I itch.. otherwise I am gonna be on the hunt for a few things asap, or... find some quality wool fabric I can make what I need.
Thanks
Awesome working mans cold weather gear, appreciate it!🙏

Whoa i want those mittens where can i buy them?
Loving the new content and not just re-uploads of all your old stuff. That was getting old.
Swanndri makes awesome stuff if price is no issue. I have an oilskin jacket from them that's one of my favorite purchases to date
I now have 10 sets of the meriwool. My whole crew at my business has switched to them. They are awesome!
Great info! The kids definitely need to learn layering!
See ya on the next one
