I always wanted a pair but don't think I can carry the look off! Nice buy. Are you a crossfitter?
Nope, just like to be comfortable! Its just like walking barefoot. They do look strange, but I've never been one to worry what I look like.

Thermos thermocafe 0.5l was looking for one of these with screw top lids,it's passed the 3hr mark just now and it's still boiling, will check it at 6hr and see.

Both together for a tenner,maybe not a bargain but what

A big blue 100% wool vintage blanket for a tenner in a charity shop. Double bed size. I left another the same size there, and an even bigger one in bright pink that they wanted £15 for. Considering going back for one or both.

Nice score Harvestman. Always good finding good blankets in a charity shop. We've a cracker of a place a couple of villages over where we get some bargins.
If you go back for the pink one you could make a nice "Harvest-man with no name" poncho :D
A tadge camp maybe but excellent desert camo ALA pinkies Landrovers. (Or you could give it to Mr. Fenna... :rolleyes: ).

Not exactly today, but just bought a custom made claymore mine bag from ebay, had it made in dpm cordura, press stud closure instead of velcro and a document pouch on the back. Also a pair of elastic anti-tickgaiters from ebay again, in realtree pattern, fit a bit like puttees and will be doing a review on them as they area bit unusual. Also also, have discussed and comissioned a custom forged parang from a local knife maker, in the style of the lofty wiseman tool but with the finish and fittings of a malayan parang. Exciting!

just took delivery of 2 x Zebra Billy Cans and i bought some stainless steel rope to do the usual modification so they fit inside each other.

I didn't want to use bike brake cable as its not v flexible so I bought some 2mm 7x19 stainless steel rope from si3 - never seen such a strong and flexible cable!

Pics of mod that you've all seen before to follow!

A storm kettle.
A load of paracord for various projects. Also lacing needles and buckles for said paracord.
Ordered some ferro rod blanks for making my own handles after seeing some awesome homemade ones on here
