Re: A Week in Scotland
Your kit improvements between last year and this year have made a noticeable difference. Really coming together. The cloak+hood+overcote you have going on look VERY dwarven. Well done, and looks like a great time!
Now the sword shall come from under the cloak.

Curious about aspects of the hood so pics will help.
Gimli: It's true you don't see many Dwarf-women. And in fact, they are so alike in voice and appearance, that they are often mistaken for Dwarf-men.

Re: A Week in Scotland
Sorry to bump such an old thread but those mountain pictures are beautiful, the third one especially. That's exactly what I always imagined the Misty Mountains would look like.Iodo wrote: ↑Sun Apr 08, 2018 7:56 pm I've been lucky enough to have spent the last week in Glen Coe, the nearest public wi-fi was about 10 miles away (hence I haven't been on-line). The weather was, well, Scottish I had a bit of everything, it snowed, rained and was sunny. The scenery was as spectacular as always and I could easily imagine myself in the Misty mountains, especially when I climbed the Pap of Glencoe:

Re: A Week in Scotland
No wonder we Americans are so obsessed with Scotland, with scenery like that! Keep it up, I love to see what you share.

Re: A Week in Scotland
I like bumped threads that are this beautiful Such views deserve to be dragged out every now and again.
But the white fury of the Northmen burned the hotter, and more skilled was their knighthood with long spears and bitter. Fewer were they but they clove through the Southrons like a fire-bolt in a forest.
Re: A Week in Scotland
For overly recycled wool, it may be worth re-lanolizing it and seeing if that helps, the stuff is fairly ubiquitous (I've had good luck in the maternity section of large stores)
As to unorthodox methods of taking photos, iirc one of less Stroud's favourite camera mounts was a camera with a beanbag strapped to the bottom of it - it'll rest on almost anything

Re: A Week in Scotland
It's an old thread, good tips but I have since given up with all the army blanket clothing, it was a good starting point and at the time it was all I could get (it's probably also better to learn to sew on fabrics that are cheap) but real pure wool preforms so much better
now that is a smart idea

Re: A Week in Scotland
I missed this the last time around so I'm quite happy it was bumped. Beautiful photos, Iodo. Really makes me want to pack up all my kit and fly over to do some hiking and camping.

Re: A Week in Scotland
I just came back from a week in Scotland, so to uphold the tradition here's a photo-bomb:
^bush-craft lair built by me and my brother, just up the hillside from where we were staying, and the holiday let had the most awesome fireplace I've ever seen, I just wish I had one at home:
a good adventure
