Gelert stainless steel mini cookset. Tatonka spirit burner and stand. It'll keep me out of trouble for a bit.

Cheers,
Leif

I haven't ever spent a lot of money on knifes... being quite contempt with the mora but I fancied a folder for when I pop out for a forage so I ordered a Svord Mini Peasant... Perhaps the mora-equivalent of folders?

But I couldn't decide if I wanted the mini or the standard peasant so I ordered that as well
and then, just so I didn't have to pay postage I ordered a spyderco bug for the key ring

Ever been outside, or anywhere and wished that you had scissors or a knife... I used to also, but not anymore.

Oh, and then along side the need for a sharp edge every now and then do you ever find you just wish you had a compass, well...
I found the Silva Watch Strap Compass being sold for £2.99 here: http://www.patrolstore.com/Carabiner-Watch-Strap-Compass.html

So... I bought a couple of them too...

I'll never be lost and I'll never not have a sharp edge again... unless I am on a plane...

I'll also report that the Svord Mini Peasant was the size I was looking for to compliment the Mora I carry!

For any one who wants a reference as to the sizes of the peasants in comparison to the well known mora, here you go:

an issue arctic sleeping bag for a homeless bloke who had all his possesions torched by some drunken scummy scrote and a pair of issue reversible trousers for me for £3 bargain.

Good on you. Real practical help trumps every bleating bleeding heart. Well done.

Another old Bialaddin 315 - rust all over, dirty, very rough looking - I never thought it would work, but got it for a pound, so I will use it for parts, I thought. Brought home, took it apart, cleaned wee bit, put them back, filled fuel, lit up, and voila, it works.

With an eye to the coming winter as well as general outdoor use, a pack of 2 aluminium takedown shovels from Costco for £15 - virtually identical items from specialist climbing shops cost £60 each!

-A basket of fruit for the Harvestfest donation to the needy tomorrow (the Harvestfest service was supposed to be last Sunday but services were cancelled due to an approaching hurricane that fizzled out)

-A bottle of wine for tomorrow's supper with my daughter's family.
