What did you buy today?

Biker

Bushcrafter (boy, I've got a lot to say!)
Case of having to really, got myself a folding camp bed/sun lounger. My really nice folding camp bed my mate borrowed 18 months ago and I found out it is now in his Dad's loft in Leeds. Just great! So today being Sunday I took myself off to a boot fair for some retail therapy and there was a lovely camp bed in very good condition up for €8 (just shy of £7) Seemed rude not to buy it at that price. This one doesn't creak or squeak as I move about on it unlike my other one which I took to the Moot last year.

I also got another cast iron folding handled griddle to clean up to bring to the Moot to put on the bring and buy table. A mahoosive alluminum kettle (1 gallon at least!) also to go on the table and a Robert Heinlein book to throw in the glove compartment of the car to read when I'm stuck in traffic on the M25 on the way to the Moot. Nothing like being prepared eh?

I already have it in my collection, and on my Kindle, but I've only read it the once and and as I recall didn't enjoy it that much, yet it's supposed to be his magnum opus. Figured I'd give it another go. Love the rest of his stuff.

Yeah.... I wasn't that impressed with it either.

My personal favourite has to be The Glory Road

Thanks for the offer but I'm gong to have my so called mate post it to my Mother's address in Kent. He's had it 18 months now and I've been reminding him to give it back for ages. Figured the P&P on this is his fine for taking it without asking. :buttkick:

I'm gonna miss seeing you then, I'm off to Kent around the end of July till the third week in Aug. D'oh!

I was intending to get some 18"x12" tooling leather off ebay from the seller I normally get it from, but was this for £17.95 as its only £2 more I got it instead (from the same seller, never had an issue with the leather from them, infact I've made about 6 sheaths and multiple pouches using the stuff from them):

Along with some 0.5mm waxed thread from another £25 of happy ebaying.
