The 50 quid challenge (ish)

[arctic hobo]

Right, my bank just gave me 50 quid, which I reckon is rather nice, and I was thinking of spending it on something bushcrafty, but I'm not sure what. Not a knife, I'm sure of that I can't make my mind up... if you folks had a bit of spare cash what might you spend it on? :?:

 

[bambodoggy]

Fast cars and lose..... Wups, wrong Forum!!!! :rolmao: :rolmao:

I'd go for a gortex bivvi bag Mate!

 

[tomtom]

if it happened to me right now i would probably get a water pump.. its one of those things i have never splashed out on (thinking i will jus keep on with puri-tabs) but i would like to have one.

 

[grumit]

[Andy]

bivi bag or thermarest. I thermarest would likely be the first choice

What We really need to know is what kit do you have already

 

[SquirrelBoy]

I reckon a Gransfors Mini Hatchet Axe, you even get change :biggthump

 

[Snufkin]

A train ticket to somewhere nice.

 

[Stew]

A train ticket to somewhere nice.

That's what I would go for!
Use it to get out there and use the kit you already have!

 

[rapidboy]

Not a knife, I'm sure of that

:yikes: Are you mad ? you always NEED a new knife ):

Seriously ,If it was me i'd have a nice new sleeping bag but like Andy said we need to know what you have already.

 

[PC2K]

in my case a manual chainsaw and a new headlight. Or try to find (thats in my case) a chick and spend it on/for her...

Seriously ,If it was me i'd have a nice new sleeping bag but like Andy said we need to know what you have already.

Yeah. If it was me I'd buy a bivvy bag but like Andy and RB I'm not sure what you've got.

The train ticket really is a good idea though.

Look, short people spend less money on booze!

You know AH, for £50 you could get yourself a nice Allan Blade knife, oh yeah sorry...

Well, you could spend an extra £30 ang get a hennessey?

Buy a drinking horn! You could drink mead from it and awesome stuff like that, or you could just wear it on a baldrick and shout "Yarrrrgh!" a lot. Either way, it'd be the best possible use of fifty sobs!

 

[arctic hobo]

Rhapsody, I am so, so tempted :rolmao: you get the award for the coolest idea on here :biggthump
Right now a train ticket to somewhere would be wonderful. Keep 'em coming, they don't have to apply to me, it's a bit of fun :wave:

 

[zambezi]

Never mind the train. Flights are so cheap, how about Bristol to Faro for £58 and hiking back from there?

[I tried to insert a screen grab of the cost from Easy Jet, but failed miserably. Why does the simple cut-n-paste not work?]
