Excessive thorn ,briars,I have to drag myself about a bit up banks,over ridges and use them while shooting the 223 also,..being dry isn't essential but I'd take it gladly ,lol....

A pair of leather work gloves would do you perfectly. After a bit of use they sort of mould around your hand and will easily allow you to fire the rifle.

Thanks for the offer Bush,I'm going to go with either one of the three below,I think....if you haven't gloves on in the forestry your hands get well tore up ,the welding gloves would be a bit awkward with the rifle

A little project I got on the go, a sought of mini camper/dayvan/old banger van. I want something were I can go off with the dog for a night and mooch and do what I do. Nip up to the dales or over to Norfolk for a night and mooch about and camp ruff it for the night or too. This is part finished but going to change it all round for better use of space, so get rid of double bed or half it, or do away and put a single rock and roll bed. Going to put a roof light/vent in. Am undecided weather to put a side window inn or weather to keep a stealthy look. Also not sure weather to put some sort of heater inn ? This is the first project I've done so any advice appreciated thanks and also if you have any pics of your own then stick them up. Cheers

I was looking at them, I thought there mite be a easier alternative. I have use of a jackery portable generator battery and thought use that with a small heater , maybe mini  oil filled radiator or warm air heater.

Diesel heater is the way to go.
