My Fenix LD01 arrived today.
Already have the Black one for work, so i thought i'd try the stainless steel version.
It's very very slightly brighter than the standard (black) version, a noggin heavier and the bell is pretty damn tight compared to the pretty loose standard version.
I'm happy with it so far, but i wouldn't bother buying the SS version again if only for the fact that it's around 3 times the weight of the standard version.

Today I bought a 5.11 pro shirt (khaki) and a tin of zippo lighter fuel for my zippo hand warmer (I like to plan ahead!).
The shirt came with a free 5.11 wallet and baseball cap (my boy can have the hat!).
ATB, Jon.

Yesterday I bought the hinges I rivetted on the base of my hobo stove to make it more stable. (See hobo stove thread for the completed job.)
I also bought a really smart looking shoulder bag made of green canvass and leather-lined with a nice fat leather shoulder strap, very Indiana Jones looking. I'm hoping this will be the bag to end all bags as a possibles bag for me.
I almost got THIS ITEM on ebay USA, but was outbid by a few cents. Would have been sweet planing leather with a tool like that when sheath/pouch making. Perhaps it's just as well the postage he wanted from US of A was more than the item would have cost. Also I did buy a tool that could do just the same job a couple of weeks ago, it'll just need tweaking to fit a decent depth guide on it.
All in all a rather enjoyable Sunday.

2 pairs of bamboo socks (they are amazingly comfy) from the smallholders show at Builth Wells. Unfortunately I made the mistake of taking my wife, and she had a death grip on the money, so that was all I bought. Would have been a lot more if I had been on my own.

Ran a search on ebay for big press studs (like you see on leather jackets) and couldn't believe my luck finding 10 for £1.75, so I bought 30. So after I paid for them, feeling rather smug I might add for such a bargan I then realised all I'd bought was the caps. D'oh!
So I searched the rest of ebay and bought the other 3 parts to make up a press stud. Ask me how stupid I felt? Of course I had to buy 30 each of those parts as well.
Anyway £20 worth of press studs will be wending their way to my mate's house for collection in July some time, or posted to me.
Still feeling like a numpty for having paid for the item before reading the fine print. Lesson learnt there methinks. Off to give myself a good kick up the ar$e now. I so deserve it.

An Ablett SHeffield Steel pruning knife. Well, semi bought. I swapped some wood and leather for it as well.
12 months car road tax £215. Fecking daylight robbery.
Wouldn’t mind if it was value for money but Southampton roads have more potholes than tarmac.

1 x Rab Storm Bivvy for £35 from Rock+Run. Going to collect friday. I missed the Cotswolds £35 offer with free delivery so resorted to the same price but have to collect which is only 10 minutes away, saves best part of £3.95 carriage (less diesel for 6-7 miles).
