Short review of a recent project of mine - a hand-made Woolen Parka, loosely based on the design of the "Boreal Shirt" by Lester River Bushcraft, as shown in one of Dave Cantebury's videos (Pathfinder Shool). The parka is all hand-made, sown with sinew and waxed linen thread, using an old woolen blanket, reindeer hide and moose antler.

Do you have details on how to make your version. I've watched countless videos on how to make a wool shirt and, by far, i like your version the best.

Hi and thanks! I'm sorry to say I don't really have any details, no. I basically made this on a whim and "lucked out" that it fits me well. It's kind of tailored to my height, size, etc. You could try making a pattern by just cutting out pieces (it's very general, a "tube for the body and arms and then the hood you can "cheat" by cutting off a hood from an old hoodie you don't need, or simply "eye" one and try to copy it) and fasten it with needles or something to see if it fits - use cheap fabric for this, then, when you're happy and everything fits - use this pattern for your wool fabric. I should say that my parka has evolved somewhat from this video - i've redone the pocket in front to reinforce it somewhat - added a fur lining to the hood and improved the sleeves - it's taken 5 years of beating now and still looks as good if not better. I can wholeheartedly recommend making one :) Sorry I'm not able to be more helpful. I'm sure there are patterns you can buy online if you want, but I just made mine by trying and failing, basically.

Nice job.....very nicely done. I've been wanting to make one of my own after seeing Dave's.....and like you, I've found the one like his, too expensive.

Awesome job my friend. I also made my own boreal shirt and our videos are very similar, we have a lot in common when it comes to making your own gear. Excellent job .. you have a right to be proud of your work.. and I agree about the Dave Canterbury bit as well. .

Det ser ut som en skikkelig duganes ulljakke. Veldig gode poenger du kommer med her. Må si at jeg har lyst til å lage mer av utstyret selv. Dave Canterburry er virkelig en inspirator, men det er du også :) - Martin

+NorwegianWoods Den fungerer veldig bra, ja :) Takk skal du ha. Jeg har veldig sansen for å gjøre ting enkelt, og klare seg med lite, både med praktiske og etiske hensyn. Takk skal du ha - setter pris på at jeg kan være til inspirasjon - og det er helt klart du også!

A comment I made to YT SavedMonk and his arboreal coat. If you put in a wool fabric drop down face mask (tiny eyes, nostrils, and mouth opening, and a mosquito netting, then you can have a spring-summer mosquito net vs bugs, and fall-winter face mask that falls down over ears and face and down to neck, for a fully nice and tight hoodie. If you make little buttons on the inside of the face mask on both sides of the temples (and make snow blindness eyeglasses), you can put this on when needed for snow survival. Just small white, green, brown, or black thin plastic, drill holes for the little buttons, nose cutout and tiny eye slits. If you put a velcro strip around the bottom of the shirt, then make a velcro wool sleeping bag with velcro on the top edge, you can crawl into wool cocoon, velcro shirt to sleeping bag, and you are totally wooly cocoon enclosed. Weather, rain, bug proof. Make the wool sleeping bed a proper size, that also can be flat and used as a blanket or wrap around shelter. The folding side-to-side, or fold over on itself, and then velcro on the foot and/or side edges, and you are bug in a rug.

+John Lord Awesome tips, John! I'll definitely look into this. The sleeping bag idea is simply ingenious :) I'm not a big fan of velcro, however, so I might go crazy with the moose antler buttons. Have a good one :)

Veldig fin genser! Har selv vurdert lenge å lage noe lignende selv.. Du tente gnisten litt igjen, så får se hva jeg har av materialer :) Har handla inn 6 ull tepper fra militær overskudd, men synet de er litt tykke, så har ikke helt bestemt meg for om de er duganes enda...

Veldig flott! Er på trappene til å lage en sjøl. Din video havner definitivt oppe blant de utvalgte inspirasjons-snuttene. Hetta var super. Tre deler?

Takk skal du ha for kommentar :) Setter pris på det! Ja, hetta er i tre deler. Jeg liker definitivt hetter best om de har et midtstykke - da sitter de bedre og ser bedre ut. Den er modellert etter en Adidas-treningsgenser - heheh :p Bruk det du har for hånden. Lykke til!

pattern or "how to" for making pattern?

Don't have one, I'm afraid. I sort of made it by looking at pictures to get inspiration, and then tailoring it to myself and the circumstances it's meant to handle. I'll be happy to answer any questions, though.
