Today I took delivery of a shiny new Zebra 10cm billy-pot, not massively groundbreaking, but the last bit of kit I needed to be able to do all-nighters again (having somehow binned my mess tins... don't ask!). Now it's just a case of getting a few 'nice to haves' and redundancies, oh and a better first-aid kit, and maybe a nicer knife.....
ARRRRGH MAKE IT STOP!
Right, I'm off to the woods for a cuppa.

Think positively... does work throw away anything that could be useful to a bushcrafter
Monday I bought 3 knives
Farriers knife that can be used as an axe for tinder/hobo wood http://www.hevari.fi/product_details.php?p=1180
Another farriers knife that may or may not work with spooncarving http://www.hevari.fi/product_details.php?p=1974
And a Flexcut hook knife.
Today I took 500euros to the vet, so no need to buy anything for a long while

I bought a chèche! I haven't got it yet but it's supposed to be on the doorstep when I get home. A chèche is a kind of scarf about two feet wide and eight feet long. They were popular in the French Army from the 1920s through the 1960s, maybe later, in the same way those Arabic headscarves were popular in the last 20 years or so. I'm not sure I'll make much use of it but at least I've got it out of my system, hopefully.
I bought some of these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300964949570?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
...and a couple of canoe paddles - a Grey Owl scout and an Egalis Nature in OG

I'll let you know when they arrive... I bought some similar a while ago (2 different models) so I've something to compare them directly with.
Ordered by my beloved just now , Ray Iles 8 inch drawknife and premium froe. I'm absolutely chuffed to bits!
