Bushcraft Clothes: Favourite Thermal Layer & Shell Combos For The Woods

Description

Bushcraft clothes or clothing for bushcraft, is a topic I'm asked about regularly, particularly in questions for my #AskPaulKirtley show which you can watch or listen to on my blog (http://paulkirtley.co.uk/ask-paul-kirtley/) or watch here on YouTube. In this video I talk about my favourite combinations of upper body garments which keep me warm and dry in the woods.

I spend a good amount of the year outdoors, through the seasons, teaching bushcraft skills, guiding trips and having my own outdoor adventures.

The various combinations of clothing in this video have served me well in the UK, Scandinavia and in North America.

These combos are well suited to year-round use in northern temperate forests as well as spring, summer and autumn use in the boreal forest.

The shell layers are all resilient and tough suited to the higher levels of abrasion encountered in woodland settings.

I mention it in the video but it's worth re-iterating here - the overall value and performance I get from these clothing combinations is greater than the sum of the individual parts.
