Not bought but got as a swap two Mora wood carving knives which I'm rather chuffed with. Arrived yesterday and I fettled them straight away. Ones the kids carver and I removed the guard from it, trimmed the shoulders and tapped the handle down to close the gap up.

I've since hot waxed the leather sheath.

Just need to source a cheap or swap Mora 122 and I've filled my carving knife roll. Which won't necessarily stop me.

Just ordered off ebay for 19.99 with free postage the new Zebra 3 piece Camping Set 2 , should be here Monday. It should nicely fill a need for some thing a bit more heavy duty for open fire / tripod use. I'm hoping one of the zebra lids I already have will fit the smaller pan, it should do.

The larger pan is much more the shape I like to cook in than the tall narrow billies a lot of us have. Worth a try anyway.

Hit the Indian super Market in Accrington yesterday and got a box of 10 8hr tea lights for a quid. These are about twice the depth of the sort that comes withthe ECO mini Lantern, which will raise the flame so the reflector will be better positioned to do its thing. The parafin wax bits just pull out so I'll use some of the cases as moulds to make beeswax versions with slightly thicker wicks. OK they won't burn as long but the flame will give off more light.

An Umarex Beretta 92fs for the growing CO2 pistol collection!

Once the barrel is leaded it will hopefully be a little more accurate than my other replicas (although the Webley MkVI is pretty good), and as a .177 lead pellet firer it is crucially a touch safer than my metal bb firing replicas for the IPAS (iron plate speed shooting) set up in the garden as re-bounds are less likely. High hopes!

A rather lovely Elliot Brown Canford watch which I'm incredibly pleased with!
Look out for my sales post of Citizen and Bostock watches to cover the cost

So which ones have you tried or owned?

Yep, I've taken to firing with the target at a slight angle; those pellets hurt even through clothing!

I've got an Umarex Glock17 Gen 4 - very realistic, good blow back, but rather inaccurate. A Webley MKVI revolver - in .177 pellet - and an 'aged' finish - very nice actually, and quite accurate. An umarex Walther PPK - bb, blowback - not hugely accurate, but as a very small pistol with a strong kick its great fun. An umarex Luger P08 (blockback) - fun, and curious, but gets through the gas very quickly so not used much. A Colt 1911 ('swiss arms' branded, but made by KWC) - brilliant, strong blowback, surprisingly accurate, and economical on the gas. And now the Beretta. It seems rather a lot now i've written that down!

We went shopping today, and I bought:

1. A pair of Hoggs waxed cotton leggings/chap-type things in olive green. They should survive a lot longer than old pairs of plasticky overtrousers.

2. A waxed cotton bucket hat in olive green. My old MTP bucket hat fell out of my only pocket somewhere in large area of game crop on Monday…..

3. A tin of Hoggs waxed cotton dressing - see items 1 and 2.

4. A Hoggs Field Pro Kincraig waterproof field jacket. Snuggly comfy, quiet and waterproof. Loads of pockets.

5. A Hoggs Field Pro fleece lined check shirt. Very snuggly for the cold weather.

I had promised myself a new field jacket if our local shoot started up again, and I will now avoid being the only beater there in any form of camo, and lacking in pockets. Hopefully this should be enough to stop rainwater being tipped down my neck when pushing through 7 foot high stands of some kind of super kale called ‘Utopia’. My existing stuff will now be used for rabbiting and fishing as required.
