    as I grew up in Latin America (Patagonia, Andes, and Amazonas) I got plenty of experiences with natural fibers, especially wool and cotton/hemp. As a youngster I always wore untreated wool ponchos and sweaters, as the Indians did (Lama, Alpaca and Sheep wool) But then "modernity" arrived and we slowly changed into Polyester garments... BUT after freezing and sweating for ages inside Gore-Tex & Co I am going back to natural wool (lanoline-rich) and treated canvas (beeswax) And I am not disappointed! It is obvious that the manufactures should attain better quality levels than my old indigenous garments, and that multi-fiber garments can serve a wider range of uses and performance requirements, but the essential thing still remains a very simple one: quality never gets out of style, and these natural products can have a very high intrinsic value! This also opens interesting opportunities for local communities that decide to embark in this quality crusade for functional design, performance and workmanship, which is good for sustainable local economies and also for the environment!!!

      Beautiful comment! Very well put. It remains a very big challenge to do this though, as the globalism has caused us to lose sight of true cost (if it were made locally) and often times makes it unaffordable for many. We need some sort of subsidy, tax benefit, or something else to help conserve local production. Until then though, I hope your perspective continues to catch on and we see something like the organic/sustainable food movement happen in the outdoors industry

    I call them "lycra boys" and give them bad dreams describing how they will burn...I am sorry for what happened to you.
    I subscribed and intend to buy one of the smocks as mine is flammable (I think it's from a New Zealand company)

      Nope! Now you know you have a pal in the oposite side of the world who, like you, calls them "lycra-boys"!
      They like me, as I am a good companion, bring them presents of good food and wine for the meetings, but I always think a bit outside the box, give ideas for constructive discussions, and work hard for the meeting goals. I specially worry about the green-horns, who too often watch the wrong videos and get the wrong opinions, either from "sofa coachers" with enormous bellies or "knowledgeble friends" who give them advice that might get them killed!
      Last year I was in a meeting of the national bushcraft association, and there was a discussion by the fire about priorities, and the instructor was insisting on shelter...a girl from the Scouts insisted that a pause and some tea (and reflection on the situation) was more important. I took her side against the instructor who is a good friend of mine, as in that time of the year we do not have much rain and the heat above 120 F might occur only in the Summer. So, without wind, rain or cold to be shielded, I agree that the pause for a sugary tea and to let fear or pain calm down was more important then a shelter... in the end I could not convince the instructor, but I told the girl to do the pause and then, after the tea, if they came to the conclusion of being a good idea to shelter, then do it!
      Another problem is the quantity (and often the quality) of the equipment... lots of useless things, many things of bad quality, and worse: great lack of knowledge on how to use them...and that can be dangerous! But well that's why we go to the meetings, to get our skills improved, practice, see the other folks and have a good time together in the bush!

    Hey. I burned down a tent. I lit a candle and fell asleep. It was raw and cold out, I was exhausted. I don't normally do that otherwise. Or will I ever light another candle in a tent. It burned the extra clothes I brought and the tent! Yikes! I will still however use a vegetable oil heater still in a tent. Because it won't ignite if it tips over. Non toxic. But ya you sure learn something if you burn a tent and your clothes down.

    Good on ya. The anoraks and vest look very nice, and well designed. I've always been amazed at how people can go out in to the wild places, claiming that they love nature, yet surrounding themselves with oil-based products that'll clog a landfill or choke a dolphin. Natural fibers work far better and have a spirit to them that's right for in the wild places. And while waxed canvas is very flammable, it's harder to get started than lightweight nylon material. That's not saying it can't happen, look up "The Day the Clowns Cried" for exactly how bad things can be, however, the tradeoff is that the material is organic, all natural, and will return to the earth when you're done with it. Can't say that about the polymer products people clamor for!

      That's Australian dollars. But I get it, it's hard to understand if you're not aware of what's involved. With all gear made in economies where labour costs are insanely low, we've all lost perspective on cost if it was made in our local economies. Let me lay it out.
      Material costs are Au$200. That alone should tell you how insane labour costs for mass produced stuff are with the typical products made in less expensive economies.
      This anorak takes 8 hours to make, at least. That's if you have a number going in a production line. I'm mostly producing these 5 or 10 at a time, which loses a little bit of time efficiency.
      The cheapest factory in Australia costs $60 per hour. This being my only income and I don't have mass production efficiencies, I have to set a higher rate to survive in this economy. Builders, plumbers and mechanics here charge $100, to give you an idea. So production cost is $500-800.
      This doesn't factor in the time for marketing, sourcing material, postage or time to develop the next product.
      I hope this gives you some perspective, and you can appreciate the honesty in this.
      Allowing our economies to let go of production capability and become dependant on offshore globalism is a bad idea imo. So we need those who can afford it, to help sustain local production.
      For those who can't afford the anorak, I offer the materials and pattern for less

      I'm not sure yet. There are a lot of dependencies. The big one is the factory schedule. Because the numbers Peak Oil produce are small, we have to fit in between bigger orders. I expect to know by January/February 2022 though, with the idea being to run another anorak campaign around July, so orders can be ready before December 2022, assuming it's a success again.

      It's generally a pretty bad idea to put a waxed canvas clothing in a washing machine. Not sure if it'll break your machine, but it certainly won't be good for the garment. I have a few waxed canvas jackets myself, you generally want to spot clean them, or scrub with a brush and cold water. You want to maintain the waxy finish (ocassionally re-wax it, too) and soap would break down the wax and remove it's waterproofing capabilities. The good news is, they look good dirty! They'll wear in like an old pair of jeans.
