Wallet leather leash by Peter Fields :
Inspired by Eric´s post I decided I´m finally ready for a real wallet hooked by a leash / rope. While Eric opted for the brown and oxblood combo I will have a try on the natural vegetable match. Natural leather sucks at the beginning and has the charme of a beauty untanned at the beach. But as time goes by I´ve always been rewarded by the choice as time went by. The leash is already there. A great product and suitable packed by Anie from Peter Fields. Now I´m excited to get a Tanner Goods Workman wallet to get connected.

Hiking Sibratsgfäll Vorarlberg – Austria
Hiking Trip from Sibratsgfäll to Schönenbach, Vorarlberg – Austria:
This is one of the standart hikes we do when weather is bad or the snow is still trapped in the mountains. Not too high in altitude but in a nice surrounding – scenery. At the end of the valley there is the village Schönenbach which is only inhabited in summertime. Famous for their milk and cheese we do not fail to restock some local made stuff there.

Farol Maritime Knifes
Farol Maritime Knifes:
A while ago I found the great webiste of Farol a french knifemaker in la Rouchelles. Maritime inspired knifes of a extraordinaire design and from what I´ve seen of great quality. Unfortunately I haven´t touched one yet but they will stay within my radar.
Carved wooden bottle stopper

Carved wooden bottle stopper:
Found this old dude in my dad´s stuff. No doubt how old this bottle stopper is, but he got character. Looks exactly like the guys sitting around with their beer in a pub and chatting about football and politics with their mates. The lever on the back stretches his neck and opens his mouth.

Robert Crumb – Confessions:

Topodesigns Klettersack Navy/Leather
Topodesigns Klettersack Navy/Leather
A special version of Topodesigns Klettersack with leather bottom and the lower sides. Very handy for placing the backpack on wet or rough ground. It keeps the rucksack dry and protects the Cordura (Not that 1000 Cordura needs too much protection, it´s already a tough material). The name Klettersack is earned by its functionality and solid construction. The weak spot of a Backpack is always the Zippers. As you can see Topo uses big and tough YKK ones. The lifetime of a Zipper defines the lifetime of your bag. They are hard to replace and if possible, it gets expensive. Avoid a backpack by all means with to small ones or those fancy watertight ones (they are crap).
The size of the backpack with 22 litres is just perfect for your daily use, a day in the mountains or other outdoor activities. With the straps and the additional ones available you will be able to increase the capacity to your needs. I got a serious faible for backpacks and I guess sooner or later my collection will be expanded by a Topo one. (and one with a broken/faulty zipper will get retired).
