Right, let’s see if this works.

I wondered if I should call this thread The Last Chance Saloon but that’s too posh!
The idea is that what is my trash and due for the skip just might be useful to someone else.

This isn’t a gift it on - there is no obligation to offer anything if you take an item away.

It isn’t a swap shop, there is no need to offer anything in return.

It isn’t a sales outlet as the item posted is free.

This is an experiment. I don’t particularly own the thread. If it crashes and burns then so be it.

I suspect it will work best when the junk gets piled high so it will need posts.

What about postage and packing?
Well I think @Chris had the best idea:

Poster states whether
- They will pay postage.
- Recipient pays postage.
- PM the poster and discuss alternatives.

GUIDELINES. (These may well evolve and general contributions that don’t overly complicate things are welcome)

PM the giver if you want an item. Keep the thread as a shop window. (Not sure about that yet)

Everything offered must be legal to own and legal to post as well as being posted legally.

Everything offered must, as far as possible, be safe. Recipients should recognise that offerings are often very used. Recipients may well repurpose.

“Old and battered” can be taken as a given but may be described further by the giver.

No returns. If you are disappointed then stick it in the skip.

Any disputes (why would you?) are between the giver and recipient and shall not concern Bushcraft UK unless it’s own rules are breached.

It makes sense to edit or delete your post as items are taken. (Delete and just leave something like “gone” :)

Ok, let’s get on with it:

Both jugs and cups are chipped on the inside. Falcon, who make them say they are still food safe. They could be useful for non food of course, glue, paint, anything. If you want I’ll make a new handle for the one that’s missing.

I’ll pay postage on the first two items taken from todays posts.
I’ll edit and after that pm and we’ll discuss.

2 GONE. 1 STILL LEFT.

These are original M40/44 spirit fuel bottles. 250ml = two fills for the military burner and two and a half for the domestic Trangia burner.

They fit comfortably in a jacket/smock pocket.

Two slices of bread or nearly a pack of bacon! I was going to adapt the hinge loops to make it more variable (for bigger sausages). Now you can do that.

Are these still available? I could do with a replacement for my cracked one
 
I dunno whether you can make doughnuts with the tins, it’s not the traditional way.

Certainly the YouTubes seem to show various camp breads looking like bagels.

If you think they could be useful then we can fish them out of the skip :)

PM your address and they are yours.

You are only the second person to rummage in the skip so no need for postage.

These seem to be standard for camp baking. Dunno why. Dia 14cm

These look what are in the US called "Bundt cake" tins and in France as "kouglof" tins (from the Alemannic dialect spoken in Alsace, cognate of the standard German "Gugelhupf").

The hole in the middle allows the cake to bake more evenly and quickly, compared to a standard round cake tin.
 
THIS IS THE SITE SKIP.

Anyone can chuck stuff in here for a while before they put it into a 3D skip.

Anyone can rummage here and ask for anything.
No charge
Postage to be agreed between rummager and chucker.

It is going to need more junk if it is to work properly but it’s good to see stuff moving.

I’ve got plenty of old kit that I’m giving away to anyone who wants to collect from Beds/Northants. I have:

DPM bergen with 2 detachable side pouches
DPM Jungle trousers
DPM Fleece lined hat
2 x Platypus 2L bladders with hoses
1x MSR fuel bottle
1x MSR fuel stove (needs a service but works fine).

Cheers.

What MSR stove is it please? I'm too far to collect but can pay postage for bottle and stove if that's an option, I have a bit of a thing for stoves.

I will add something to this post in due time.
