You wouldn't happen to have a picture of it packed down to fist size would you?
Just starting out at the mo but have in the last few days got an Opinel no.8 which I'm very happy with and today I've ordered a Hultafors craftsman knife which was a bargain at £5.50 delivered. Can't wait to put them to work on some small carving projects. I'm just starting to work on a mors try stick! Next on the shopping list is something to keep them nice and sharp - I'm thinking some 1000grit paper plus a leather belt might suffice?
Ridgeline roar...knockdown price of £60..unfortunately my buddy was with me at the time so now we have a matching pair and look like rejects from duck dynasty !!! Hey Jack...lol
Car boot trip ( first in years ! )
Anyways , was looking for some old tools, axe heads etc etc , none to be had. Bugger ! Picked up a 6'' x 2'' med/fine wetstone, unused fifty pence !
Two industrial steel ( carabiner ) screw nuts £2:00 . Will be used as drip stops if I end up getting hammock.
Was just about to leave , when I spotted some military items, lying under a table. Had a wee closer look. '58 Patt Webbing comprising, Yoke, belt, left and right ammo puch and the dbl kidney pouches at rear. Excellent condition, one AP was a bit dusty, no tears, holes or fraying. Seller wanted £15, I said too high. Guy walked away, I played the same card ! He comes back and says how about £10. Deal done.
I have a particular use for the webbing in mind. I hope to slightly mod some bits ( not a lot though ) , the pick/shovel closure at top of yoke, that will be removed. I want to use the pouches as a carry system for my DSLR and three quality lenses. I will prob's try get the large 58 Patt webbing pack ( out of stock at Military Mart sadly ) to use as main carry, UNLESS, anyone here knows if any of the other packs can attach?

Hope you got one with a temp control. The cheapo ones without are terrible. Especially for meat.
