Iron Heart IH-634S - World Tour 2010 - 2013

while I was having all this fun in the southern hemisphere this is what my poor pregnant wife was dealing with …
Meanwhile I'm hanging high above Brisbane in a high rise hotel
Sometimes you fly to Japan from Australia and Korean air gives you a free upgrade for no reason. Holy shit. This is how the other half live!!
First stop in Tokyo… FRESHNESS BURGER.
Then onto my favorite noodle spot in shibuya city. They play Norah jones "don't know why" on infinite repeat 24 hours a day. Rocking my IH thermal.

This will be a travesty to some people here but this is all I bought in Japan…

Came home to a goodie box from HW Carter and sons. I highly recommend their stuff.
Then my vibergXheritage research hikers showed up
Aaand they're too big. Sale thread coming. Get at me.
We've been renovating our barn and finally got the Woodstove going
And now we are about up to speed.
I will get some more barn pics if anyone wants to see em.

it's waxed duck with a woolrich blanket lining and a moleskin collar. so far i dig it, it's definitely sized for the japanese market though…. wish i had gotten an L instead of an M. the lining is surprisingly kind of light. This feels more like a lined heavy shirt to me than a chore coat. definitely not the heavy duty security of a piece of ironheart and doesn't feel as rugged and indestructible as filson. i like it though, it's a well made piece for sure.

Nate, I feckin' love that barn. Holy crap. You've gotta post more pics.
-
joesaintjohn…. your wish is my command. i'll get some pics up later today.
-
Tremendous thread, recent stuff is great Riff… Going to jam some OMGroom later.

zing!

As per joesaintjohn's request here are a few more pics of our barn…
the far wall with the darker wood is surfaced with the original exterior barn board, probably about 250 years old. we milled it all down and used all the useable pieces for that wall and then also for interior insulated barn doors (forgot to get a picture of those, but i'll snap one later). under the loft is a tool "shed" but we're eventually going to split that space in half, throw up a wall, and make a bathroom….although i'm not sure we can run plumbing out there. maybe a composting toilet. it's been pretty awesome so far though. the other night when i posted pictures of the woodstove i actually fell asleep out there on the couch for like 4 hours. we've still got a bunch of work to do out there but it's coming along. gotta redo the roof in the spring.

Holy crap, Nate. That places is incredible. I love barns/cabins/lodges. That place looks so warm and cozy, like a great respite from the hustle bustle of the world.

thanks joe. its funny….its 100 feet from my backdoor but it feels like we're in a log cabin in the wilderness haha.
btw...

There's nothing quite better than that feeling, Nate, nothing quite better.
