Blimey, those pictures are HUGE!

Looks good though. Nice offer.

The speed with which problems like the knife/age question get sorted on this site is always impressive, and always because everyone is willing to accommodate and help others.

What a great site! :You_Rock_

Currently on offer:
An emergency messing set (or for when you just can't be bothered to cook).
The set is to consist of a pair of mess tins (tarnished from some use but nothing serious and no dents),
A hexamine burner stove
Some water purification tablets
And from rations; tea and whitener
Hot chocolate (the new good stuff)
Cream of vegetable soup
Vegemite (some people just love this stuff)
Bacon omelette and beans
(Might chuck in some extra bits or some tinder stuff to pad out the package)
In other words, a complete high energy food supply for when your sitting in the woods under your tarp in the pouring rain, wondering what on earth you took up bushcraft for (or a great beginner set).

must admit to still being a little uncomfortable with the knife/age situation. I'm sure it's been resolved to the satisfaction of the parties concerned but I wouldn't be over happy myself...sorry, just my opinion.

Its been resolved by my parents being sent the knife and they are responsible for it. Many bushcrafters teach children as young as 7 to use knives and I also believe it is important to distinguish the difference between a tool and a weapon. Im a scout young leader (one that actually runs a lot of meetings rather than sitting back and "helping") and I teach a lot of knife safety. We regularly use knives with scouts and cubs to cook, carve (The troop recently invested in some spoon knives), cut things e.g. rope, prepare tinders for fire and much more. I have been brought up with knife safety and have possessed one since I was 8. I now have a selection of knives I use safely on a regular basis and have never seriously hurt myself (no more than a slight nick). So im sorry telwebb but I couldn't disagree more with you. I'm actually quite shocked and not the attitude I would have expected from a bushcrafter who usually are keen to promote their hobby and spread knowledge with all people from all backgrounds.

Just thought I would interrupt and congratulate you all on such a successful operation. Sadly, being an Antipodean I am unable to participate but am certainly enjoying reading through the passing of gifts hither and tither and the goodwill that generates. Gold Stars all around.

Woz... no reason being over the other side of the world should stop you from participating if you see some item you'd like. I for one, and I'm sure others on here as well, wouldn't mind the slightly higher cost of posting something to you or any of our other overseas members.

So go on and join in and and make it a global scheme :)

Last Bumb before I change the offer entirely (just added some to this offer):

Currently on offer:
An emergency messing set (or for when you just can't be bothered to cook).
The set is to consist of a pair of mess tins (lightly used)
A hexamine burner stove (unused with full box of hexi)
Some water purification tablets
And from rations; tea and whitener
Hot chocolate (the new good stuff)
Cream of vegetable soup
Vegemite (some people just love this stuff)
Toffee Pudding with Toffee Sauce
Bacon omelette & beans
Pork Sausage, Omelette and Beans

This is one heavy package to post but fits nicely in a PLCE utility pouch! Full of high energy food as emergency rations or when you can't be bothered (especially in the mornings). All food is wet, boil in the bag.
