Perhaps a little over dressed: note the steam rising from me
As the thaw was underway and temperature was above freezing it was still too warm for a proper test, I boiled in the bag.
Lundhags Ranger Boots
I can see how a pair of made to measure boots could be a more custom fit, but I cant see how they could be any better made or more waterproof. I wanted a pair of Lundhags for over twenty years and went through a couple of pairs of of half decent boots, and several pairs of mil-surp boots in that time. These are very very good, not cheap, but very very good.

RedRam Thermals
Very good indeed, and sadly it would seem very delicious to that evil predator Tineola bisselliella, the Clothes Moth!
As we set off for home McShug very kindly produced this from his pocket, "shot last week so it hums a bit, but I know you wanted to try one" Now hanging from the Gas Cock in my basement. Ripening.
More tales of feral failure, reviews and of course a traditional Woodcock recipe to follow

Just to let you know I am alive and on line again. When I say alive, I am riddled with a bad case of Malaria and so is little Alex. Will blog when I get better.

Come on up if you need colder weather to test that parka out.... we had -63F last week. A significant drop from our "normal" of -30F.
Sorry to hear about coming up empty...
Explain "ripening" a bird by hanging it whole...isn't that "souring"?

I've always wanted to, but alas...
It would seem that the tradition with woodcock is extremely well hung, as in 'put a nail through its beak and when the bird falls to the floor leaving only the head still nailed to the wall its done', I'm not sure if I'll be permitted to go quite that far this time, but I'll keep you posted,
