"that might come in handy" is my motto, anything useful(especially FREE) a trick i picked up from my parents.
Like most of you I have plenty of warm out door clothes which I use for work and hill walking but make sure I have plenty of decent footwear/boots but will hoard decent heavy duty out door socks as no mater how many I buy I never have enough. A spare set of water proofs will be a good investment .
I have lots of clothes, normal and army surplus too. I've not been able to bring myself to throw anything away for years. I still have shirts I used to wear for school!! Nowt wrong with any of them, so I'll be keeping them.

LOL. That is storing them. I don't have many clothes that are not in use at some time or another. The only ones I store in the sense of putting away and not using are clothes that have been replaced for some reason or ones I tend to go through. I have spare underpants and socks that I buy and store, t-shirts I buy and wear, put away bring out and wear later. My main clothes are everyday and I like to have spares so I have severaal pairs of jeans, several jackets, etc.
im waiting for the spring sales in the camp shops etc. i want to get my hands on a good winter jacket. a parker or something.
its something i dont own yet
ive got jackets , but i want something for when the weather gets a bit extreme.

Beardyman was also doing a little discount to members. Not sure if he is still running the promotion but it may be worth dropping him a pm before you order. From the dealings I've had with him, he's a great guy.
What's that brown spot on the end of my nose?
