*The* Gift-It-On Thread

[stevec]

Glad it all got there ok that cyflect stuff is fab, I used to stick it on the back of my daughter's winter coat to act as a light reflector/glowing panel. I've turned the non-sticky version into zip pulls. But you can make velcro backed dots etc to stick on kit/bags etc

Will check out the Cyflect tape.
I've tested the Nitecore Tini out, even smaller than I expected but great bit of kit and ridiculously bright.
The RGB light is an interesting little thing, spent a lot of my working life in electronics/engineering prototyping etc so have a soft spot for lumps of Veroboard!
Thanks again

 

[stevec]

No probs, if you know electronics you will have spotted the issue with the RGB light. I struggled for room for the resistors so I had to stick it on the common anode. As a result you can't have white as it can't pass enough current.

Nice offer.

 

[spandit]

Nice offer.

Very nice... tempted to take them myself but I'll leave it for a few days

 

[Hammock_man]

I will take those if I may!

 

[Hammock_man]

What I have on offer is a 350ml thermal flask which also has a filter in the top for ground coffee. i.e. a french press or cafetiere.

 

[crosslandkelly]

Yes please HM. PM inbound.
I'll put up something later.

 

[Hammock_man]

Crosslandkelly Sir, the coffee thing is yours.

 

[Robbi]

Good catch matey

 

[crosslandkelly]

Up for grabs is a lovely little friction folder. Make unknown, D2 stamped on the blade, but probably not. Takes and holds a decent edge, I've just not been using it.

 

[Wander]

Yeah, that does look nice.
Go on then - I'll relieve you of it.
I confirm I am over 18 and been to big school and everything.
I'll PM you name and address.

I'll get something up over the weekend.

 

[crosslandkelly]

All yours, enjoy.

 

[Wander]

OK then, here's my offer - a much sought after German army rubberised poncho/shelter:

It did have a few holes which I have patched (on the inside):

Over the years me and this little chap have had many adventures together and I know he's still keen to have some more.

 

[Erbswurst]

An old patched German made poncho is surely better than most new Chinese ones.

It reminds me to myself a bit. And I can honestly tell you that I am pretty good.

 

[Wander]

Is no one interested?
It may be warm and sunny now, but that will change soon enough.

The poncho is water-tight and in very good condition.
I think it's a fair item so I'm not inclined to offer an alternative.

 

[Wander]

OK, in a effort to try and gee things along, here's another option:
a jeweller's loupe.

The poncho stays up for grabs, so please feel free to claim EITHER the poncho OR loupe. Once one has been claimed the offer on the other closes.

 

[bopdude]

I'll take the loupe if I may.

 

[Wander]

You may.
PM me your name and address and I'll get it in the post to you.
