Excellent! I'm prepping gear for the spring. Yesterday I picked up a supposedly ash 28mm broom handle ( well its not pine and is some sort of hardwood ) which I've sanded down to 26mm, cut down to as long as I could keep it without overbalencing the pan, turned the end down to fit the pans...

The Jo Clews book arrived, in good condition despite being ex library withdrawn stock. Lots of interesting recipes. Like nearly all modern cook books it's spoiled by too many too large glossy pics of the finished dishes, take them out and it would make for a far handier sized tome. Herself...

Stainless Steel mess tins arrived, unissued as promised but since they have been on a shelf in a Dutch Army warehouse since 09 I polished and then washed them inside and out. A bit lighter gauge than the Zebras etc I'm used to but I've not heard of anyone burning through one. I'm happy...

I got the Xl a while back, and herself got two standard sized ones, one for the car and one for, well I'm not quite sure as it is still in its packaging. I've mentioned this before but I think it worth repeating. The sewing of a suitably spaced pair of large hooks and eyes on a long edge makes...

Don't have a metric gauge but it's a little over 16 gauge but not quite 15 so 1.75mm? It's good Swedish steel so I don't think it will fail. If I need owt heavier I've still got me comedy sized Aussie Hillbilly frying pan or the lid's of the Southern Metal spinners camp ovens which must be...

Here it is, bit pricey but it's something i'll only buy once https://www.alpinetrek.co.uk/stabilotherm-jaegerpfanne-xl-mit-klappgriff-holz-skillet/ I'm still waiting on the stainless steel Dutch messtins ordered at about the same time from just the other side of this county. Atb Tom

Much sooner than I expected bearing the fact it was coming from overseas with the last stage being by My Hermes during a very busy period full of bank Holidays, the frying pan has just arrived. Mind personally I've not had any trouble with My Hermes, since mid December I've sent 280 ebay...

Yeah, if I tried to defend my self with it I'd no doubt find it lodged somewhere in short order, hopefully still closed!

Had my Satchel for a year now and irs my general carry bag for whenever a rucksack would be over kill. I too found it too easy to overfill so have stripped the molle pouches off the ends, which just encouraged me to carry more and put a Navtel pouch on the strap and a Maxpedition strap pad...

Last time I was flush I invested in one of those Polish Fighting Umbrellas as every other one I've had has bent when used as a walking stick or failed I some other way. So far it's lasted brilliantly and if the cloth goes they sell replacement covers to fit yourself. The videos of them...

Know anyone with a ultra sonic jewelry cleaner? I've used one on a couple of fountain pens to good effect and lots of rotring tech pens with no harm. Atb Tom

Like Columbo reaching the the door, just one more thing.... A dozen Arktis twizzle pegs from Endicots to replace the rubbish Chinese copies which kept breaking which I got to replace the real things that had steadily got lost since the late 80s or early 90s. I may paint the T bars on them in...

A Rennie the size of a settee cushion is what I should have bought! After dieting for more than six months I not so much fell off it as hurled myself off a cliff, Disney Lemming style yesterday and am now suffering for it... The mother in law was very generous with her gift so I was able...

Very nicely done indeed! Having the year marked on is usually a Goverment thing. Any sign of a arrow mark on it? Could it be a bring back from the Great War or surplus? AtB Tom

The parcel from Taramack arrived a couple ofhours back and I've been test fitting various bits of Molle to it. I doubt I'll ever use them all at once but it wax fun playing with them. The pouches are a mix of Helikon and Condor. It's not worth a post of it's own but I cobbled together a...

Will do folk, don't know what I've done to it but this seems to be common problem with my accounts. "Settings" to me is a background or a set of cutlary and plates ready for my next big meal..... Atb Tom

I'm grateful you rekindled my interest in these and I got one at the original price, cheers! I bet folk will be buying two soon, one to use and one to keep MiB! ATB Tom

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask but would anybody be interested in a large sized Buffalo Sleeping bag and matching winter liner? I say Buffalo but the outer could be the Survival aids version which i believe came out of the same factory in Sheffield. The outer has the two...

Ive been looking for a replacement for my beloved old OG Munro which after 25 plus years has no water proofing left, whatsoever and is rather chavelled in the strap department and patched where it was moused one winter. I also wanted a bit better back system and wider and less bulky shoulder...

I'm airing the issue mosquito net before putting g the BCBcamp bed away. Had a good shopping trip today, picked up a new Molle belt thing in a charity shop for £3.99 You can get them for 11 quid on Amazon but looks well enough made. I may use it as utility apron while in camp. Ignore...
