What did you buy today?

  • Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August) available until March 31st, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
Got a Woolpower Long John today. But it's way too small. I have a Woolpower shirt in XS and it fits fine, so I ordered them in XS, too. But no way I fit into these! After having a look at their sizing chart I realized that I need an M. Luckily I can return them and get the right size!
 
Ordered a couple of things for our woodland friends group today for a series of woodland craft and basic bushcraft events next year.

4 gb wildlife hatchets
GB outdoor axe
Finn Garrick 4ft 2 man saw
Frontier stove
Frontier stove water heater
4 Mora clippers
Ben Orford large flat crook knife
Ray Illes 10" froe
2 Ray Illes Mike Abbott pat draw knives
Ashley Illes pole lathe chisel set
Ben Orford bowl turning set

It's gonna feel like Christmas in a few days!

Wow! some primo kit there, you will be a happy bunny. Remember, there must be pictures or it didn't arrive!:)
 
Happy happy happy. There'll be pictures, oh yes.
I'll probably be trying out the stove over the winter. Many times.

Have a frontier stove for my Tipi and LOVE it. Great to come back to on a driech day in the woods with an already warm kettle waiting for a brew! Next trip we're trying anthracite cobbles for a overnight burn test. Just need to look out an old grate plate to put inside. Let us know what you think of the water jacket too! Not sure on it's usefulness for just two folk yet over a kettle, though for groups it seems ideal.

Tombear, that's a proper explorers case for your compass. Reminds me of the gear that you see in books that belonged to folks who "Found" places and great rivers. Nice, have to show a picture of you compass in it. It would be nice.

Its a 1943 Mk III. The bubble in it has got so big that it needs sorting, I guess it will cost some. I used it a lot in the 1980s when I was doing a lot of walking on the moors where it really helped being able to take seriously accurate bearings. I've also got the lads great grandads WWI prismatic.

Found some interesting info on refilling a prismatic on the Milsurps forum.

Way too cute, not going to let the Boss or Daughter see that piccie. Although I am struggling to think of a cross that would produce a more mental animal, possibly genetically engineer
in some hyperactive hummingbird?
