Hi Ratbag,

might be interested in the bivvy and the bushy knife mate and the cup. Got any pics ?

Might be interested in the smock. How big is large and any chance of a picture?

The bivy is the bog-standard UK issue one

The bushy knife is / was here (work system doesn't let me view photobucket images):

Now I can't see if that's worked (or if Elma still has the picture up). The pins are now hollow pins though.

Come and see it at the Midlands meet

LARGE! But, bizarrely, quite short in the arm - it doesn't fit my 6-foot-2 sized arms. Chest-wise its probably like 50-inch or something...

Come and see it at the meet!

It did. I hope you don't mind that I've modified the link to show the pic without clicking on it.

Ok, i really like the knife, but, for me to get it i am willing to sell my Helle S80 bushy, curly birch handle, laminated stainless steel blade etc, used once at the last midlands meet and it works great with the firesteel. I want £45 for it. Retail it cost £60. I have still got the box and paperwork and even the cleaning cloth.

I would like to sell this at the midlands meet if possible.

Yes, sheath will be included, no problem - it's a belter! And I think the scales are fine in the wet. You can test it out anyways if you're worried and see what you think.

Cheers

I'll try to find a (smallish) white board & dry marker to bring along with me. Then if someone wants to sell/trade something they p ) can stick it up and then others will then know what's on offer and who they should talk to.

For ease and, hopefully, tranquility we'll work this on the same basis as the forum Members' Classifieds Rules.

I'll post a link to here from the Meet thread

Im need of some lamp wick. I went to get some today but surprisingly no hardware store had it. If anyone can sell me some it would be useful.

I bought some a while back, the flat kind, about 3/4" wide, got it from a DIY store called Focus, but any DIY store that does garden latterns should have wicks, bloody expensive though.
