I am thinking of getting one , any chance of a review bud?
Bamboo underwear (Sweater & longjohns)....feels like what I imagine silk feels like. So so nice....but performance-wise and compared to a woolen outfit, I really have no clue yet (just walking about in them indoors, and the kids wonder why I am not wearing any clothes.....I sure thought that they were able to spot the obvious super hero, but no...their upbringing needs a bit of seeing to )
)
Bought a couple of days ago but received today...
2 tenthwonder ultralight hammocks, as I'm sick of my kids kicking me out of mine when I put it up. Also I can have one permanently setup on my homemade stand.

I think it's pot luck really on the build quality front. I have 5 of them dotted around the place, rucksack, car, house etc, and they are all running eneloops. With the 3.7v in them instead of the 1.5v AA battery they are cracking little things.
Received this week a Mora Robust and two pocket-size books from Collins Gem: Knots and Food for Free.
Postie brought a lump of 01 carbon steel, some brass rod and stainless steel tube, managed to get tomorrow off so will try and get into workshop and make a start on my first knife.
Although not shiney ,picked up today from Freecycle, two large rucksacks. One Karrimoor Cougar and one Berghaus of unknown model. Both in excellent condition. I also got three pairs of walking trousers from the same place. I will be going to collect two paddles for my pirogue tommorrow. You gotta love freecycle.

A cuben cooking pot stuff sack, for my MSR titan kettle, from zpacks.com arrived today, totally satisfied with their service and will likely be ordering more bits in the future.
Well, not quite today as I ordered them yesterday but...
Festool TS55 plungesaw and 1.4m guide rail another guide rail and fittings to get it to just over eight foot (length of a sheet of ply).
Metabo STEB 140 jigsaw.
Should be landing tomorrow with a few other odds and sods thrown in the mix.

Too much money for a very slight gain. Most of the things I need a jigsaw for are kind of rough work anyway. Cutting holes in pipe boxes and so on.
I can see where all the extra money goes on the plunge saw but not so much with the jigsaws and cordless drill drivers.
My existing Bosch jigsaw has got to the point (after owning it since 1999) where it wont let its blades go and its on its way out. Its never been capable of cutting a straight line since I bought it either. Blade has always meandered about like a flatland river.
Plus, I just don't have enough cash for the Festool Jigsaw and I also need to replace my PLS laser level which has given up the ghost after a long life.
Looking at the uprated version which is the PLS 180, that works with the detector I already have for distances where the beam isn't visible.
I've been steadily replacing my power tools recently too. forked out a good chunk of cAsh on a nice dewalt chopsaw n jigsaw.i did go for the cheaper end laser level though n got a makita n have too say for my needs(studding,noggins,stairwells)it's impressed.i got it cheap,cheap too as their was a sale on.was only 85 quid.

Put it this way, any money I spend on tools, I've saved by not spending it on my van... Its a shed.
I work as a subbie and as the main quiet time for me is after crimbo I always wait til then to put my tax return in.
Usually I have overpaid my tax each year so I get some back which usually goes on the mortgage during that quiet period. This year I have had good work as soon as crimbo was over so I could spend some of that overpayment on tools.
If I worked for private customers (spit) I would have to have a tidier van because they have expectations about how neat a vehicle they want parked outside their home. For some reason they seem slightly more bothered about what next door thinks than how good the job is. However as a subbie I couldn't care less about the patchy van as long as I do a tidy job.
Posh tools, 800 quid van.
I'm a subbie joiner too but I mix my work between sites n private .I prefer the private work tbh. most building sites are miserable places these days with all the health n safety..yer can't crack a fart without someone sticking a confined space risk assessment under yer nose.
