    Opinel No 8 for no reason other than I was in the shop for a Wayfairer meal to try out.

    Similar thing with the bedroll. Wanted something like the Swagg bags, but didn't want to spend that much. Figure I can modify one of these a little, and make it just as good, for a fraction of the cost

    Yes they are good stuff. Odd from the Norwegian Bushcraft channel made a nice mod to the tent:

    Like the modifications on that. They all make sense and provide a really good shelter. The setup is very similar to the Luxe Mini Peake available from Backpackinglight.
