Mooching in a charity shop five minutes before closing today, found an interesting looking jacket.......Mottled green, extremely well made, "Cross" logo and asking £8, so I took a punt and wore it to walk the dog on the way home.............Monster hailstorm and gale force winds across the Beacon hill and the jacket is great; good well thought out pockets, completely waterproof, and best of all really good pit zips.

Google tells me it's a Swedish made ski jacket and they seem to range from $200 up to about $500..................I think that's a bargain, eh?.

A big, rusty, old file that is actually in better condition than I thought (it's still going for knife steel though) for 0.50€. I wish people were more "throwaway" here, instead of using it til it breaks! I missed out on a two-speed hand-drill for 10€ or 8 if I bargained... damnit!

Goretex DPM jacket and 58 pattern water bottle.

Also bought a couple of sieves and some wire recently to make a campfire popcorn maker to keep my boy amused by the fire :)

goretex dpm great kit.

Couldn't agree more, been meaning to buy one for ages but thought they were a bit pricey. After getting soaked walking the dog on Sunday I just went for it and surprised to find one for £22 in my size. Want it to rain now so I can try it out...
