What did you buy today?

[kINGPIN]

I've always liked the idea of lightweight hiking and camping, but never liked the cost. Until today my only piece of titanium was a spork (not because it is light, just because it is metal). But today I had splurge on the stuff. I'll be doing a reviews on all this stuff in my blog soon if anyone is interested.

MSR titan kettle (as recommended on here by plenty of people)
Titanium long handled spork
Titanium pegs
750ml Titanium bottle
Lightweight ground sheet
Mini uco candle lantern

....i'm expecting a call from the bank any time now. haha

 

[The Big Lebowski]

Ummm...

Lowe Alpine Sting... Snugpak kids sleeping bag for the wee one ... RM Sparkstick... Paracord (again) Bushmoot ticket

There's quite a bit more, but I'm keeping that quiet

One happy TBL!

Upgraded from cheap and cheerful B&Q hatchet to a nice new Gransfors Bruks wildlife hatchet.

A brand new shiny Zippo hand warmer, cheap too.

 

[Nova & Pinky]

Not quite bushcrafty, but 'mini' (6 foot-ish) Braeburn apple, Bramley apple, Victoria plum, Conference pear and Stella cherry trees for the garden. Oh, and a wisteria

1 each Silky Pocketboy 170 & Bigboy 2000 folding saws. Used them a hour later and they are as good as they are cracked up to be. Pleased as!

Ray Mears Mora! woo hooo!

 

[Qwerty]

Finish Army surplus gas mask bag. Lovely condition and a handy and cheap buy.

 

[born2roam]

Recta DP 6 G compass (to compare with my Silva 15 TDCL or whatever global type it is...)

Another Mora 137 (had one, sold it, regrets so stimulate economies...)

ALMOST bought a GSI Minimalist but US shipping would double the cost (23 US for the set, 25 or more for shipping...), haven't found a closer reseller though...

Just gotten rid of most of my other redundant stuff.... there now is space left in the house, the shed, the attic, the closet, the car... WOW ;-)

(……but looks like £12 postage to The Netherlands, so not that much cheaper)

Nothing unfortunately

I went to but some S Biners, but neither the Mountain Warehouse or Trespass shop in Torquay stock them. Would you believe it !!!

Oiled the leather on my new unissued Swedish M39 army pack. Cheers

Took delivery of more made-to-measure Extreme Outdoor Clothing gear from Keith. Elite K2 fleece shirt, a second K2 fleece Explorer jacket and a pair of Ranger trousers for my boy. Keith is retiring next year so I am buying up all the stuff he makes - it is that good.

Watch out on the Pocketboy 170 if you haven't used one before. I snapped the tip off mine by catching it slightly on the (uncutting) forward stroke. Spare blade cost £23 delivered - more than a Laplander!

That's useful to know, I've admired some of his stuff for a long time but never pulled the trigger. Does the Elite shirt pack down well ?

 

[drewdunnrespect]

[Harvestman]

A climbing rucksack at a car boot. Very nice for what I paid for it.
