[Skaukraft]

My Lundhags boots.

Ray Mears / SWC Bushcraft knife
Asolo GTX Flame boots.
Karrimor SF 45l Sabre rucksack with side pockets
Ontario RAT 1 folder
Bahco Laplander saw

 

[Fjällräven]

EKA Swede 88 folder. I just love that small folding knife. I got three of them.
Other good buys are my Fjällräven trousers and my Bergans Venabu jacket.

 

[Samon]

my mora knife.

It reminded me that value for money still exists, and how even cheap and simple tools can do everything the more expensive fashionable ones can.

 

[Perrari]

Probably my Gransfors axes.

 

[Hammock Hamster]

Hmm difficult one as I am a self confessed kit junky but I would probably go with -

GB mini hatchet (above the other 4 GB axes)
RM/SWC bushcraft knife
Laplander folding saw
Enzo 75 EDC folding pocket knife
Hennessy hammock
Vango venom 400 down sleeping bag (soo warm but packs down soooo small)
One of Mr Fenna's dragons breath firefighting kits
Squashable/packable leather bushcraft hat
Waxed cotton stockman coat
Craghoppers nosilife/solar dry trousers and shirts (my favourite outdoor gear which I practically live in )
Crusader cup/zebra billy

Although I tend to seriously overpack on most of my trips but reckon i could get by with just the above or even less if needs be.

 

[Sickboy]

A decent hammock and tarp and a canoe.

Oh and the Anssi blade from Finland that I bunged a handle on, a truly great blade that caused me no end of problems putting together.

A year on and these are still pretty high on my list, even if I'm often too busy to get as much use out of them.

My Argos axe is still a real cracker, a great axe for carving

Loving my hultafors axe and knife right now. Really great tools for a good price. Especially since Palace made a great sheath for the axe.
