What did you buy today?

Very elegant indeed.

Yeah it certainly is, feels fantastic in the hand too.

Sandy has got his handle shaping down to a tee. I remember him saying on one of his videos that he does it as much by feel as he does by vision.

Certainly a master in his craft!

ATB,

Allan

Oh it’s very definitely a need for absolute sure, much like my “ need” for an E&R Selvans is too

The winkler hunter for me. If only I could justify it. ER knives look like absolute beasts in all forms and more than certainly capable of cutting tasks

GERBER LMF 2 infantry in Green I've been putting it off for months and while thinking? should I give in to my urge I've missed out on the Green version twice. Stupid.
TeeDee are those Exotac Lighter Holders sturdy ?

Quick review on the Exotac Lighter Holder.

I don't know if I would necessarily call it sturdy but its fit for purpose. The Top is made of a thicker more rigid piece of plastic than the bottom larger section which is more flexible ( I guess to provide a tight fit around the lighter ).

The fit of the cap over the main body is ok , not amazing , but for general use its fine - If I was going to carry one of these around for continued wilderness use I'd be tempted to put some insulation tape as a belts'n'braces safeguard to stop water ingress if submerged.

In the top of the Cap even when there is a lighter in the main sleeve there is a little space for some compressed tinder for immediate emergency use.

I purchased the Orange ones and will add some Solas reflective tape ( to find with a torch if dropped in the dark )


I guess from Hennie they are kinda pricey for what they are but its one of those long term investment purchases.

Took an age to find the Bics to fit this. @CLEM bought me one some years back and it’s in my possibles pouch which goes in my ruck or Indy bag.

Which Bics did you find fit best? Ive just got a non-brand lighter in there currently and its a tad rattley.

 

[JonathanD]

You need to get these. Its what the case is made for. Snug and tight.

Just ordered and should arrive next week

GSI Outdoors Pinnacle 10 inch frying pan as the one we've been hammering for about 20 years finally gave up the ghost, under the baked on crud the Teflon was flaking off in big ragged bits and it was no longer safe to use.

Evernew light weight 570fd titanium mug to go over my M'kettle. I'll have to save up again for the lid.

Aleve Solo bath tub ground sheet from backpackinglight UK. There's five quid off at the moment.

@TeeDee yeah I thought that they were a tad pricey. Cheers

2 x 30cm circular saw blades, quite rusty. Rippers, no TC teeth to cutoff. Adze blades, several Ulu and maybe Umialik for kitchen gifts.
Rusty old hand saw, nothing special, good for at least 2 snow knives.
Whopping $5.00 for the lot.

 

[TeeDee]

This.


Because three balls are better than one.

A Union flag patch to go on my smock

 

[punkrockcaveman]

Somehow I've managed to lose my Victorinox huntsman, whilst acquiring an alox farmer- which is a lovely knife but I'm missing the scissors badly so I've ordered a white classic sd to get the best of both worlds, for 12.75 posted only 22 grams, can't be a bad little EDC.

A Folding Toilet tent as were about to have the Bathroom done, and Yes I brought a loo as well.
When I open the Bag well un-zipped it the Tent Jumped out and kindly led itself on the kitchen table, Scared my mum.

This is it, on my Särmä hooded fleece jacket:

I like that it is quite subdued but still clearly recognisable.
