A very wet walk – but a dry Finnish Gas Mask Bag
I chose the very worst time today to go for a walk! I had planned to walk down to the river and make some tea there, before walking back to the office and getting on with some work. I did not make it, the rain was so hard I turned back.
In the positive side I was using my Finnish Gas Mask Bag and it did an excellent job of keeping my Army water bottle, sit mat and backpacking cooking gear completely dry. The only thing to remember, to keep the rain out, is to make sure the lid is fitted correctly when fastening the bag.
The sun came out once I was back in the office!

Branston Lincolnshire
All my jobs today are in Branston so I walked rather than take either car, even though the sun was out.

Walking in Lincolnshire
Whilst the weather was good this morning I grabbed a few bits of gear in my Finnish gas mask bag and headed off across the fields near home.
You can see my waterproof jacket strapped to the front of the Finnish gas mask bag using the elastic web I have sewn on to the front of the bag.
One of the pieces of kit I regularly carry when I walk is a pocket sized 10×20 monocular and this morning it came in useful for watching the hares whilst I stopped for my tea. Sitting quietly, hidden, in a gap in the hedge (to get out of the wind) and once the dog walkers had passed out of sight the hares came out, racing across the fields. I saw at least two hares and a selection of rabbits.
