Great descriptions. I’m doing the diy beaver/bison hide mitten kit now. I have the anorak and winter moccasin diy kits to put together afterwards. Great kits and quality products. I snagged them before they stop selling their retail stuff for good.
Tomas Barreto that is awesomeness. Hawaii is the only state I have left to visit. I won a week long trip to Hawaii this next month that got canceled due to the outbreak. I’m a bit bummed about that and still really want to take my wife there with me some day.
The neck knives are a good choice. Quick access can be a must especially if you break through the ice and need traction to pull yourself out of the water. The Helle Algonquin model is exceptional.
Also saves hours a day of you not pulling up layers to try to find a knife then stabbing at crap to put it away. Nothing is better, especially in the winter.
Karen was pretty happy with her russian wool hunters suit but add an anorack to that like Lars does and kapow! Its an all wx all wind dynamite combination.
@@TJackSurvival can I ask about the sleeve length as well? The website measurement seems pretty large, (40” or more) do you find yourself having to cuff the sleeves or do they stay out of the way decently? Thanks!
@@ImmaculateRap you’ll want to cuff the sleeves I bout a kit and sewed it so I’m not sure about what you’ll want to do but if you reach out to them on Lure of the North on Instagram they’re great at helping you with what you’ll need.
Hi sir, couple questions for you regarding rugged winter/wet/cold clothing - so I've been doing a lot of reading on wool and I recently watched a couple of your older videos discussing wool vs synthetics and I wholeheartedly agree with you. Wool seems like the kind of fabric that'll literally save your life when you're out backcountry camping mid winter and the elements are unforgiving. What do you think of fabrics that use a good percentage of wool, but not 100% wool? e.g. I just purchased an 18 ounce flannel that is 80% merino wool and 20% nylon, and I'm also looking at a lighter weight jacket that is 70% wool and 30% other reclaimed fibers. Do you think these are still practical as far as protecting you from the weather like fabrics that are 100% wool? And what do you think of woolen fabrics that are lined with polyester and other synthetics? Are they still worth buying or is the wool just a cosmetic feature? I probably wouldn't have bought the flannel had it been any less than 70% wool as I would imagine its qualities (e.g. water repelling, heat resisting, etc) would not be as strong and therefore not a practical woolen fabric.
It depends on what the other percentage is. Synthetics can’t handle sparks and some but not all will stink in a few days. I’ve got mixed garments that are great but for this stuff 100% is ideal.
Understand. As far as keeping you dry for a decent amount of time you're exposed to the rain, do you think that 80% wool and 20% nylon will still serve well?
LoTN does NOT offer the pattern for the Anorak. The refer you to a 100 dollar paper back book
dude. the guy on the right looks like a tent!
That’s the exact purpose. Do you know how warm he is because of that? I think it was -30 when we filmed that

Good catch!
Great video and very informative. Thanks!
Lure of the North is Awesome
👍🏻🇺🇸
Agreed! Great people.
Canvas chars, nylon melts. Canvas shell always when winter camping around a fire.👍
I am live on the Big Island of Hawaii and living vicariously thru your COLD weather adventurers.... Keep them coming.

There were quite a few of you guys wearing them. All seemed pretty darn happy with them!
They work period. I'm a big fan

@@maniagokm3186 wow that would be a great combination! I'll need to look into that for my wife.
Mani Agokm Hey! Say hi to you and the Mrs’s now that I know who you are.
How did you size yours? Maybe you could give a height and weight and what size you bought? Thanks!
I’m 6’1” 190 and got an XL. It’s huge but that’s a good thing. Buy big
@@TJackSurvival thank you!

@@TJackSurvival thanks for the quick answer. Really appreciate it!
Hey thanks so much guys! You rock!
Any time! Your kit is truly outstanding, well thought out, and top notch!

@@adamcepeda2026 I think so. If it doesn’t then sell it and get another one
@@canadianbushcraft9614 for base layers yes. For everything else 100% for the win
