so the past week i was watching Bear Grylls on Man Vs Wild, and i saw the pants he was wearing, they were of a light material but with a stronger fabric where rubbing and extended wear and tear appears. like the Knees and butt,
the first thing that went through my mind, ' there epic, i could use those,' second thought ' I CAN MAKE MY OWN PAIR' .
so after the show had finished, i went through my clothes draw and found some old light pants that i could use for making them, next i went on to the bear Grylls official store website, sifted through it, and hello, i found what i was looking for :) http://www.beargryllsstore.com/buy/bear-survivor-trousers-regular-186063
so with this information i got some heavy duty fabric , which was actually some furniture swabs from freedom furniture, which is where one of my sisters works, i cut them up and layed them out, so i put them on my ass and the knees, i machine sewed some, and hand stitched the ones i couldn't get too with the machine, so that was that, i had basicly made a cheaper version of Bear Grylls outside Survival Trousers, i'm thinking of adding some extra pieces up along the inside of the shin.
So my trousers are done, now i want to go find a bush and get lost in it for a few nights :) i have a Friend whose family own a farm with a bush on it, i might ask him, and when i'm in the bush i am also going to do a little day by day video journal so you can see the progress as i go along, making a Bivouac home and living off the Killer Bush :) Any way back to the trousers, here's a few pictures
cant wait to test them out :)
Until Next Time, Signin Out
