looks like you have all your bases covered...
if it was me, i'd decide on ONE stove, and upgrade tools first. start with the cheaper things, like the woodsaw first. the laplanders are great.
i would really like to see what you have planned for the hobo fishing kit. ;)
something else you might consider is ho you carry your kit.
after years of 'adventuring' i got rid of a lot of stuff and just concentrated on the basics. i don't really call myself a lightweight camper, but i carry a lot less items when i go out now, than i did in the past. and all my gear now is pretty much quality items, like a cammenga compass, the laplander, and leatherman to name a few items.
now that i'm a new leatherworker, im concentrating more on tool carry options, like possibles pouches, etc. ;)

what you really have to decide is "will any new kit make my adventuring any more pleasurable?". if not, then save your hard earned money, and use it on something else. ;)

Thankyou:D I dont really ise a stove as i cook over the fire but if there are no fires or i dont want a fire i take a small stove- normally stay at home thou
The folding saw i have works great, but i want to upgrade it soon when i get some left over pennies..:p
For the fishing kit my plan is to turn a hand reel on a lathe and hollow it out.
I only carry the essentials and some comfort items, Thanks again:D
