Whats your latest impulse buy

[Barn Owl]

Can I ask about the argos axe? Is it worth getting if you don't have an axe? Does it count as an impulse buy if you don't need it and are unlikely to use it but still want it?

Yes x3 Paul

Thanks Barn Owl You've convinced me. I will get it.

Saw a dead barn owl a few weeks ago, it was in the undergrowth under a hedge. Mostly intact so not ure what could have happened. Such a beautiful bird. Better alive than dead. Only seen a living one once. It was daytime on a bright afternoon and I saw it fly off from what appeared to be a disused telegraph pole before dropping to just above the ground and flying towards us before turning off to one side.

(Just about worked out not to abbreviate your name to initials before I replied).

Oh she is Steve! - and is quite happy to sit in camp lit by some candle lanterns too - it was more the case of 'why do we need another one!? - I can think of better things the money could have been spent on!' hey ho, I'm sure she will come round

A hammock.

You see the last time I went used my bivi bag rain somehow got in at the foot end even though I also had a tarp up. And although the shop replaced it I don't quite trust it so it seemed like a good idea to buy a hammock just in case

There's nothing idiotic about buying good brandy. Excessive perhaps, but not idiotic!

A Snow Peak Ti cook set to loan to my friends little

to take on their school camping trips and DofE course.

A pair of yellow Peli 1020 cases for the little

phones, and for me, a black 1300 with foam liner, a 1030, a yellow Otterbox 2500, and 8000, and a pair of black 2000's.

Also bought a selection of laboratory vials 5ml to 125ml as waterproof storage containers for batteries, sewing needles, tablets, fishing hooks etc. The little

like their Nalgene and Stewart Sealfresh containers for their gear and cooking ingredients, so they'll be raiding these too.
