What did you buy today?
- Thread starter Nova & Pinky
- Start date
A good purchase, similar to the set I bought in 1974. At least one utensil used daily ever since- fresh mint and garlic flavoured meatballs in the large frying pan and new potatoes in the medium sized pot. Will be doing salmon tonight .Put it in your will for your grandchildren.
With Fathers Day tomorrow you might have waited. Sox are sort of a traditional (even if a joke) gift here.
Not here, not as good as bridgedale socks!! Nowt much comes my way in father's Day. Never bothered with it as a kid. My mum used to say it was a made up day but mother's Day is actually mothering Sunday, as in a once religious festival day.
Some more Bridgedale socks (expensive bit well worth it), couple of t shirts that's about it.
Perhaps also look at the Sawyer Micro Squeeze......good flow rate, drink and pour. No pumping or waiting. Incredibly lightweight and compact?

I got two pairs of summer weight bridgedale socks and noticed there's a bit that says lifetime guarantee with a logo on the packaging. Then underneath it says in small print that lifetime is 5 years in Germany. Does your packaging say that too? It's somewhere slightly hidden I think.
Have you ever had a sock from them last 5 years? Mine don't if I use them regular which some I don't. Others I've not used for for years but then used a lot and found that don't last long then.
I think the other half threw the packaging as soon as they arrived!
I have had several pairs last longer than 5 years yes so I definitely get my moneys worth out of them.
Very handy on long multi day hikes and if you want to cut down on weight you can do a 5 day hike and camp on 2 pairs as they have an anti microbial coating inside so dont smell at all
Nealsgadgets have them in lots of led choices, for warmer I’d go for the SST-20 rather than the Nichea 219, puts a bit more out front and doesn’t hit the battery as hard. My copper is the Cree XPL HI 3D and it’s just right. Different language this led thing, like Ancient Greek.
The stainless looks superb, but too smooth and slippy for me, also something I found with the aluminium one, didn’t seem to fit well in my hand. Shorter tube and smaller battery has sorted that, and I’m totally swoony about the steampunk copper. Gonna sell the Alu, recoup a little bit of this latest adventure.

Cool. I thought I’d cheated a little as I’ve seen it before in a pic with an early Guy Stainthorp. Serves me right for getting it wrong.

That's why I said weirdly close .... both sold by the same bloke.
Bought one of these today ..... Loads of Zombies around here !! ( modern day Roman Short Sword )

Well, having sold a couple of jackets on Ebay, including a cray price for my old Ventile smock, pressed the button on my retirement present to myself, a Hilltrek double Ventile jacket. Always wanted one, figure it will see me out. Plus its looks like a jacket, not military, so my wife will like it !
