What did you buy today?
- Thread starter Nova & Pinky
- Start date
Ok I’ll give you that. As long as you don’t mention the Gib*** word 
haha no fear of that, the Only G I like is a 50's LP junior single cut. Literally the only one I like
I am a bit of a stoveaholic. Ordered a white box stove. Not sure how stable it will be! I would be using a trangia 27 kettle or a Stanley cookset. I do like svea stoves but it would be more of an ornament than a working tool.
My friend ordered a new tablet but didn't like it so I've bought it off her.
Got no idea how to set it up tho!
It's pink, but I'm not fussy about colour, I will have to find someone to get it going . I only play games on my old tablet and I needed a new one as I accidentally trod on it and ruined the screen. So pleased I will be able to play solitaire, and mahjong again soon

That bag’s a great colour. Kit greens vary wildly. I have a Helikon-Tex Patriot fleece in ‘jungle green’ that everyone insists is black. I insist it’s not, it’s bloody Jungle Green, but might as well be black. I’ve got khaki trousers that are desert tan, and a Harkila rucksack in Hunter Green that, again, is nigh on black.
So, what’s in the pot first?
Ordered a wood stove. Winnerwell Backpack Stove.
Video in finnish I´m sure you get the hang of it:

Estate sale: a set of 7 Pacific Northwest First Nations style wood carving knives.
Generally straighter profiles than almost all the knives I use now. Bought for 60% of new prices,
made here in Canuckistan. Best for form-line carving projects.

An android tablet. My pal ordered it, but didn't like the colour (pink) and decided she'd seen another she liked better, so I had it for £45. Bargain.
It's not been used so somehow I got to set it up but I have no idea what I've got to do. I need a tech savvy personage.
I can't even find out how to set the clock and date. Heck I do hate technology!

I got that WBS years ago. Not very stable and IIRC better with wider pots. It's a fast boiler when warm enough but it's not good in cold conditions without a bit of help. Suggest a dish of method to kind of pre heat it in colder conditions. I can't remember what I did for stability but you'll work out what's needed.
It's a good stove that boils water quickly for a meths stove that hasn't got a caldera cone type windshield. Did you get the larger or smaller version?
(Edit to correct pot shape. Mistaken with another stove I bought at the same time as my wbs.)
Well I got an activity tracker with GPS,a Garmin vivosport. It's too get the most out of my exercising during COVID times and hopefully continue with a healthier lifestyle after lockdown completely ends. It is smaller than my Fitbit surge and hopefully won't rot my wrist if I sweat on it and don't dry it frequently.
Here are a few examples of the wood carving knives that I use.
I buy the blades, maybe bash off the original handles and make my own.
The striped handles are glue-ups of rosewood and mahogany.
Surface mounted, I use several different kinds of #18 nylon cord for the whipping.
The ones I just bought look much the same but straighter blades.

I decided to skip the Zebra pots and go for the Pathfinder Stainless Steel Bush Pot - 64oz. I could not decide between the 12cm or the 14cm Zebra pots but then I found this and it fits somewhere in the middle. I hope it's going to be a good bushcraft work horse.
Anyone had experience with it?

A hammered 14 inch Peking style wok. Well, I actually bought it a couple of weeks ago but it was delivered today.
It will be a mark 2. I believe it has more holes than the mark1. It sounds as if the trangia kettle will be more stable as it has a wide diameter but is relatively low.
