Bushcrafter (boy, I've got a lot to say!)
10cm zebra billy can. Only ordered it Monday and it arrived Wednesday by recorded delivery. Got it via bushcraft store, first time I've used the shop so very impressed.

Good spoonful of Dunns River Jamaican Jerk Seasoning, generous splashes of Soy and Worcestershire sauces. Leave in the fridge overnight then dry. Not for the spice shy though, the Dunns River stuff has a pretty good kick
I didn't buy it today, but thanks to the company I got it from not updating my order status, which apparently shipped the day after I placed the order but was lost in the post I got it today only 3 months and 1 week after it was placed. It's a Condor Village Parang.
I've wanted a parang for years and years that I can use and abuse in British woodland. For £44.99 its perfect. It's really nicley finished, nice smooth handle and nice convex grind, which could do with a sharpen to get it to how I like my edged tools.
I'd read and seen videos of the sheath failing so I always had the intention to make a better sheath, looking at it no question I'm going to as moving the rotating belt loop it screams of imminent failure as it feels pretty starined. It looks like your classic Condor sheath though, passable, as the money went on the blade.
Only out the box so far I'm very happy with it. Time to go and order some 3 or 4 mm leather.

I paid £20 for mine, really rare. The only other pair I could find we're on eBay and sold for over £30. I hope there good.

Hi All
just come back from Haslinden carboot with a B&D set for £10, not used much at all
I need to replace the plug but the stall opposite had UK made three pin plugs for 25 p each.
The hand grinder was a pound, any one knows where to get a cheap stone for it, something that will work at low speeds? and the Victoronix knife was 2 but needs the cork screw bending back in line.
The B&D drill to fit are usually sold for under a fiver, so far Ive paid no more than 2 for a drill on its own. Exterior condition seams to be a good indicator of how worn out it is or isn't.
Incidentally I pick up old rolling pins for pence usuually and they make ideal preprepared bits for turning stuff like priests, nostepinnes when your learning.
A few months back I picked up a unused drill press for peanuts in a charity shop
and a few years back a lathe bed for £14 i think, still looking for the doohicky they made for making a drill variable speed, only seen them as part of sets so far.
My point being you can get basic tools for very little if you are prepared to put in the time looking.
Good hunting!
Tom
PS Herself got me the chisels, ordered their most basic set and got one much nicer than we had expected! Must have been out of the basic ones. As far as I know that one was for sale in the US only at the time. Mind you a few weeks later I picked up a set on Bolton Flea market for 10 that cleaned up nice, not been sharpened just a layer of surface rust that polished off.
