What did you buy today?
- Thread starter Nova & Pinky
- Start date
Minty unissued pair of olive canvas general service gaiters for 3 quid.
Swiss souvenier horn for chopping up £1.50
Unused regatta trousers for one son £3.25
slightly used Craghopper trousers for another £2. They are both of a size that over optimistic walkers buy their first outdoors kit in before realising they should have got a size or two bigger! In the last month or so since I bagan looking I must have got a dozen pairs of good walking trousers, most looking brand new, for peanuts. If you have sub 30 inch waists I recommend you have a good look in the charity shops, and don't neglect the ladies section. The lads are happily wearing several pairs I've sanitised the labels of and they haven't clogged onto the flys zip on the opposite side.... Like new Rohans for £2, nice and roomy on the hips but so what!? I wouldn't get them what they'd call girly colours I hasten to add.

Aye it's great looking at their new collapsible bottle now too. Thinking I will grab one on Monday when my kettle is in.

I wonder if they've properly copyright/trade marked it this time - the last one was knocked off by Tesco who were selling their version for about £3

This is what I bought today at 4 different flea markets . Total cost 160 Swedish kronor which is about 18. I'm most happy with the 2 piano wire pliers, one Bahco and one Lindström. The brass/copper mallet is also nice . I've bought tons of stuff at flea markets!

Was in need of a new sleeping bag for summer temps. I was looking for a bag that could be compressed very small.
I chose this one: http://www.millet.fr/en/products/sp...-sleeping-bags/baikal-750-long-left-right-zip
It can be easily upgraded with my Buffalo 4S Outer bag. The bag packs up very small, only taking about 3 litres of room in my backpack.
The price was right also, still under 100 euros!

Not actually today but they arrived in the post today. I bought 4 of these:
Basically it's a 2mm thick credit card sized folding knife. The blade is steel and the rest is a tough plastic. I found it on Amazon.com for about $3 each and placed an order for 4 in total brining it to $12 but once I got to the checkout I choked on the $49 they hit me with for shipping to France. The free postage was within the good ol' US of A. So I had them shipped to a mate in Louisiana who sent them on to me with some other goodies. The package arrived today.
The credit card knife's a bit gimmicky to be honest. I don't think it'd be up to much abuse like whittling, but in an emergency situation and you need a sharp blade then it'll be better than bu99er all. Maybe I'll write a review on it one day.
Anyway, that's what I bought. Oh and I bought a pizza for dinner tonight but didn't use the credit card knife to slice it up.
Ta ta.

Remember to remove from wallet before attempting to board a plane there Biker! Would hate to see you getting dragged off by customs as a terrorist!

Will do. No plans on flying anytime soon but will make sure they're not on my person if and when I do.
