What did you buy today?

[Biker]

and a Bakestone (to sell on to Mesquite) for ..... I aint tellin him what I paid, just what he is going to pay!

I could almost hear the MUHAHAHAHAHAA after you finished typing that.

Just googled "bakestone" very nice. I can imagine you both having pistols at dawn wrangling over certain items you'll each possess at the moot.

 

[Mesquite]

A good quality wool blanket for £4.50, a copy of Robinson Crusoe for 50p (hardback) and a Bakestone (to sell on to Mesquite) for .....

Congrats Resnikov... I doubt anyone can top that for expenditure

I hope the move goes off without a hitch

Congrats on the house purchase mate

Not really a "purchase" as such, but I received my free Spyderco catalogue through the post today.. lots of purchases I will be making in my dreams tonight.

 

[Geordie9]

Well done Resnikov hope it all goes well

I have just ordered a new 14cm Zebra billy, and Field and Trek had an internet sale on so I picked up a couple of the Karrimor whistles, fire starters and a pillow for my next outing (hopwfully I can stop carrying around my fleece in summer).

 

[Biker]

Bought 50' of neon yellow paracord on ebay. Been busy man-knitting

 

[Smith28]

Received a Maxpedition 10x4 Foliage Green (damn I love that colour) today along with 2 Klean Kanteens. One 40 oz and one size down, both wide mouths. Also got the flat lid with D ring style loop for compactness. Excellent looking kit, can't wait to give it a test run.

Got some black heat proof paint that must have got lost in the post or something, but when it comes I'll have 2 black Klean Kanteens.

Damasteel knife from Aldi £10 - I will see what I can do with it

 

[SteveD]

A Tri-colour Desert pattern PLCE Bergen, looks to have never been on anyones back - ( no NSN numbers in it that I can find) for the equivalent of £12.50 in a market in Kuwait.

A 12cm Zebra billy ( double billy with metal carrying strap around) for £4.

Just bought a new jaw harp.
It`s made by the smith Bjørgulv Straume. Much better than my other store bought ones.

Now my fishing buddies are in for a musical treat around the campfire

A ham and mustard bread roll at a medieval re-enactment display today at a 10th Century "castle" (mostly earth ramparts and piles of rock)

Had a great time seeing the exhibitons, stall holders and wearing down the batteries in my camera. Photographed some amazing stuff. I'll post some of them in the out and about thread sometime soon.

Tried my hand at axe throwing into the end grain of a log, used 6 axes and bounced every single one of 'em but it was fun. Can see me buying some old axes just to practice. Beat my mate the Jean-Pierre at the archery range, firing the French way and not the British way, 3 fingers ½ inch under the arrow, different technique but it worked for OK me.

Good day and a nice ham and mustard roll too.

[Smith28]

Just yesterday ordered a Maxpedition EDC micro and the 3 Spyderco bugs from good ol' Heinnie!

 

[DanBow]

I bought a nifty canteen and mug in aluminium from Chirk car boot sale this morning. All for the princely sum of £1.

 

[Smith28]

Hmm.. I have to start going to more car boots. The number of things I see posted on this forum that seem like amazing steals!

 

[Stringmaker]

I am going to buy today..........

Some carabiners so I can pitch my newly arrived DD tarp properly. First bivvi out due this Saturday.

 

[Tank]

Bought the other day and arrived today

 

[seraphim]

Bootiful!
