Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
Huh, Just checked my local Berks weather, cold, barely making 12 degs for a few hours next weekend, colder at night.
On the bright side, just bought 2 cheap out of date 24hr ration packs = 4 meals plus nibbles etc for the price of two commercial meal bags. Unable to Moot, but ideal if I'm still able to do a quick grab and bug out overnighter soon.

Take a solar panel and the pass through capability would counteract some of the power used.View attachment 93283
Is it this one? (On the right, not the strange looking thing on the left)
Mine arrived on Thursday.
Long term impulse purchase.
Panacea Firefly.
Slice, Stab, Chop, Ignite: Panacea X FireFly Survival Knife Review
With the FireFly mini survival knife, Panacea X sets out to prove that size doesn’t matter — it’s in the way that you use it.gearjunkie.com
Today's purchase consisted of a Venture Scout flag, pole, carrier and brass fleur-de-lis pole finial.
I can’t remember who suggested Polymath Products, but an idle surf around their website has resulted in a smallish spend.They do seem to specialise in those small things that will be really useful when out and about…….
Me.
I'd also suggest a good perusal of EDC Gear for bit-n-pieces.
New android tablet, 128gb sd card and a case to house it in, for use during my forthcoming hospital admissions, easier than taking the laptop or trying to do stuff on a smaller phone screen
I’ve just received mine in XXL, I wish I’d bought a couple more at that price but wanted to make sure it fitted first. Very impressed with it- worn it for a bike ride. Instead of being sweaty and cold after, I’m just a bit sweaty.Paramo Grid Technic base layer. These are a ridiculous price, now down to £15 on Paramo Outlet on ebay but only sizes left are S in mens and XL in womens.
I also bought an Alta 2 the next day, for £80, hoping that’ll fit as its same size as this. After trying this base layer, I’ve also ended up getting a Paramo Bentu fleece for £40, really good value with that 20% discount. I used to get quite a few things on Craghoppers outlet, but I’ve found the quality very hit and miss.I bought 2 of these, plus one women's in L for my gf. The XXL fit's me just about perfect, the L might be a little big on my gf but at this price I couldn't turn it down. My gf took a fancy to my Paramo Velez, so I've been keeping an eye on Vinted and last week managed to purchase a women's Alta iii for £50! What is the fleece like? I really fancy either a Fuera smock or the Paramo Poncho, will be keeping an eye on Paramo Outlet store!I’ve just received mine in XXL, I wish I’d bought a couple more at that price but wanted to make sure it fitted first.

An Afghan Kazan, a charity shop find, unboxed but brand new. It was cheap enough to justify buying it even if I only use it a couple of times and as I generally take the Kadai and tripod away with us when we go camping I thought I'd give it a try.
I think it’ll be coming tomorrow- can’t fault their postage service. I’ll let you know when I get It. I think it’s quite a thin one, they do a heavier version as well. I would have preferred the Alta 3 as I believe the pockets tend to leak on the 2, but at £80 compared to £220 it’s a no brainer really, especially as the 3s on the site are, I think, seconds or returns. At £80, I won’t be as worried about snagging it or messing it up.
