Purchased yesterday. Couldn't take pics until today ...
Not too shoddy considering it's stamped 1952

On impulse I bought a Trangia 27-1 HA...from an online recordshop(!)...Weird place to find it there, but the price was really good. Next I will try to source a tarp in a candy store.....

That's a great bargain, you've got a bunch of good gouges there. Definitely a nay from me, to turn them into mini Adzes.

Bah, eBay turd didn't really want to sell it. And poles are missing. So bought a thermarest ultralight cot thing from cotswold outdoors instead. See how I get on floor dwelling.

An ALDI hammock and folding frame at £34.99. So far pretty impressed with it, solidly built, takes seconds to put together but not the sort of things you'd want to strap to your pack.
The hammock is fine for lounging but sufficiently 'fall-outable' that nodding off coulld result in 'SUDS' (i.e Sudden Uncontrolled Descent Scenario). At 2.7 metres long though, I think I'll be trying a DD scout hammock in it (2.35m)...prob not long enough for my DD Travel (2.7m) but will give it a try anyway and let y'all know how it goes.

I bought a Stanley Cleanable Recycled Flask from Go Outdoors, 200ml, green, http://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/stanley-ecycle-adventure-pocket-flask-p287006
The lid opens up for cleaning and filling if needs be, and, on a day like today, where the rain was pretty torrential in Edinburgh, you can (if it is not full of whisky) fit an IPhone inside it to keep it out the rain......

just a heads up. Wilko's are doing sporks and military style tin openers for a quid.... x2 tin openers in a pack. yeah, they work just fine.
True those mantles are pricey but the result is well worth the money.
Got a couple of Lox-on ones from John Moncrieff Ltdup in Kinross last year.
For my wife, son and daughter in law I got them a Solo 1800ml pot ea, it has a bail and side folding handles.
I bought a Solo 900ml pot, haven't tried it yet. I will add a bail to it so I can suspend it over a fire. I trek alone most of the time.
Both styles are Stainless Steel and were recommended to me, a new experience.

Recently: Pathfinder SS bottle, cup and hanger- so much better than plastic and a very fine Condor/Matt Graham Primitive bush knife. A 'grownup knife' as the boys say, or 'a toy' as Mrs Nyayo says ( I did, however, demonstrate that you can cut cake, fillet salmon and open packaging with it - still not impressed 
). I think it's ace.
