Kjellbergs Paracord

Found this great little Swedish company on Facebook.. They make excellent Paracord Bracelets in a very original and imaginative style! As I just love all things connected with Scandinavian Militaria I was over the moon to recieve one of their Metal army button braceletsfor review!!
These are very well made and tidy, and a change to the usual plastic snap buckle type you see all the time on the uk bushcraft market.
Also of intrigue is the firesteel incorporated bracelet the make! I just love these as an alternate way of carrying a fire-starter and paracord in-one.
Check out their page.  https://www.facebook.com/#!/KjellbergsParacord

NCWR jacket and a chilly camp

Tried out both the NCWR jacket and the NOMAD jacket from TACUP Gear at a recent Bushcraft meet... I under estimated the cold though, so was a bit chilly on the night (stupidly left my Swanndri at home and an extra blanket... Thankfully the second night was a bit warmer!
I did however manage to use the NCWR jacket as en extra sleeping bivvy.. (I zipped it up and put it over the lower half of my body survival style!).. Which worked a treat.
I'm going to make some mods to the jacket which I will post up later.
Need to figure a better sleep system out.. Time for a Jervens bag I think!!
