Reccon they may be a little warm as they are in the 'snow' offers

Well worth looking at, Lidl do some good stuff from time to time, may not always be in 'bushcraft green' or have the right makers label, but still good non the less. This is the first year in about four, they did not sell their Trangia 'clone' , if they come up, buy one, they are super quality

 

[scanker]

I'll definitely second that - the trangia clone is superb. I think it was £4.99 when I got mine a couple of years ago.

i'l 3rd that, you get the whole lidls cooker, pans, grip, burner, everything, for the price of a genuine trangia pan grip!

aldis are always worth a look too, few years ago in one of thier hiking specials, they had zip neck 100% merino shirts, muted colours, thumbloop cuffs and £7.99 a piece, i was at the door and cleaned them out of XL's by 9.05, but the other sizes were still there days later

In the summer, Aldi do (have done for a couple of years) a pan set, always at £6.99, two pans, frying pan lid and all in good quality non stick (the plastic pot grip is crap though, dump it), really WELL worth getting

Looks like I will be nipping into Aldi and Lidl after work today

Think I'll be nipping in to lidl this week aswell

I bought a huge backpacking rucksac from either Aldi or Lidl a few years ago for just £9.99, brilliant bit of kit, good design, durable materials, has never let me down.

I came across someone recently who had a sly dig at some items of my gear for not being 'proper' (eg have designer outdoor labels), even though this 'cheapo' gear has lasted years and gets used daily!

Thanks for letting us know about the stuff Enzo

I remember laughing at the cheekiness, when i saw this a few days ago.

Has a look at these boots in one of the Gloucester Lidls while I was getting moggie food.

They are a bit like those Muck boots, with the main part of the boot in rubber with a bit of leather and Cordura around the ankle section. Fur lined.

Not a particularly solid sole unit but would be good for messing about in the winter wet and mud! Not for serious walking.

I'm tempted for the price. Might have another look when I pass tomorrow.

Got mine yesterday, took the dog a walk, was out most of the day
walking through wet, mucky fields and for the 1st time in a while
came home with dry toasty feet. (not to warm) just nice
will have to see how they last in the long run but for £17 i am happy

p.s__ got a snowboard top and socks also kept me nice and warm

 

[luddy]

I got some of the Lidl boots - they were fine on mud and muck but positively lethal on wet pavements - extremely slippery!

They were not on sale this summer, but your right, they used to be £4.99 then went up to about 6 or 7.99. I bought a load for various stove projects, cracking bit of kit. Next summer look out for the non stick pans x 2 Aldi have sold the last few years, £6.99, high quality and fit the Lidl stove like they were made for them

Back on topic, the boots are OK, perhaps if they put the price up to £49.99 people here would buy them

many a true word spoken in jest
