I like the honey stoves, I no longer have mine as i used my hobo stove more but i liked how small it went when packed away. The only downside is if stopped for a quick brew you have to wait for it to cool down before it can be put away
personal favourites
buck canoe knife-legal for british edc goes everywhere with me and comes in handy at least twice a day
GB outdoor axe punches way above its weight
ray mears bushcraft knife now it has been rescaled pure joy to use
honey stove-enough said
crusader cup that is never too far from my pack unless being washed up, done both woodlore courses with me and every camp i have done since and before the courses.
Boris my travel badger-
I love my crusader mug, but also like the tatonka mug for the measurments when cooking and the fit on the nalgene bottle. I couldnt decide between nalgene with tatonka mug and 58 pattern bottle and crusader mug, so i ordered both
The ones that have made me say 'I love this bit of kit' (so far):
Mora 510 Knife
Eydon Poppin Kettle
Uco Candle Lantern
Ronnie Sunshines Dutch Oven
Of course we're generally fans of all our kit and generally won't keep it if we don't like or it's not useful!
We've just bought hammocks so will remain to be seen how well we get on with them!
This was a tricky one: in terms of my favourite items, probably my SBT and firesteel as they're the ones that feel most 'bushcrafty'. However, in terms of the item that gets the most use, my Leatherman Wave - it's not sexy or green, and Ray Mears has never sold them but it is incredibly useful!
Alpkit gourdon 20 litre sack. Got one for £12.50 and inflation made its replacement £20. Hoping one day to get an overnighter kit down small and light enough to be able to use it for that and not just for day walks.
My fell shoes as they are the best thing for everything from running in to backpacking in (even in winter I find them better than boots).
A cheap 2" knife made by Whitby (folder with liner lock I think). It has a clip and used to fit into a little hidden pocket on my black trousers where it couldn't be seen due to it being a dark gunmetal colour. I used to forget it was there and it often got washed with the trousers without any harm. Sharp too and keeps its edge very well. Only £10 from F&T.
