If you had £100 to spend.....?

[Klenchblaize]

I have a pair of GTX danner boots on the way - £76 from the states (£150+ over here!!!)

Hope you don’t get hit for the VAT and/or Import Duty but even if you do it will still be a big improvement on £150! I recently purchased an RCBS reloading scale and powder dispenser from Sinclair in the US for $350 including our VAT. In the most recent “Bushwear catalogue, free with the BDS journal, they are asking £399 without P&P!! P—s takers or what!

Enjoy them if it’s the “Jackal” boot.

Cheers

Now then, only a builder would slag an archaeologist about that one!
And it is a damn good bit of kit

Thanks for all the good advice and info there people. Lots to think about and certainly a few definite maybies! If only that £100 was £200 Musn't be greedy though.

Thanks again,

A good sleeping bag or a goretex bivi bag

Got a hammock, Golite tipi, bivi bag, but a bit lacking in the knife/cooker/boots departments.

Tempted by some sealskins waterproof socks. Anyone tried them?

Boots sould be right up there at the top of the list.

I have a pair of sealskins, but find I rarely if ever use them.

Clothing is deffo a must. Something windproof and waterproof makes all the difference. Plus a good hat and neck gaiter. Also boots yeah. All those items will make being in the bush all the more enjoyable!

In my situation I'd buy a carpenters side axe and books I reckon. It would be more for green woodwork though which is what I'm getting into right now!

Swanndri ranger shirt, mini trangia and 2 moras/frosts! But books is also a really good suggestion (or japanese waterstones).
