Just ordered a pair of Fjallraven Barents trousers in green.
I hope they're worth it!
Also, small esbit stove and aquamira frontier pro for my day hike stuff.

A Leuko / pukko combo set from the market stall here in Helsinki (two days ago). Tested it out on laavu canoe trip and it did the job perfectly (batonning, feathersticking, carving a butter knife).
Didn't exactly buy it, but just been lent a brand new Volvo V60. I've had a quick look on the Volvo website and the spec I've got is worth well over £35,000... Thank goodness for car insurance!!
I bought it last week but this baby arrived yesterday:

A 1" Auger for a fiver, including postage.
I slipped it onto a piece of ash for the handle and fired it up on a piece of dried offcut last night. Monster hole in no time.
It's stamped as being made in Sheffield so that should mean it is good quality metal.
No connection to the seller, just thought the green woodworkers out there might be interested.

These are the exact ones a few of us bought a couple of years ago to go with the sheaths Shep made, brilliant value for a cracking tool!
A couple of keyring LED lights to go with my Bush Key (thanks FGYT!)
I found a small LED to be useful to clip to my tarp ridgeline to help me relocate my sleeping area after trekking out in the middle of the night to answer a call of nature.
Unfortunately I recently lost it and decided it was indispensible - hence a re-buy.
Also some more Maxpedition stuff....damn them!

This tasty little beast turned up today from Wood and Knife Supply - much nicer in the flesh than it looks on their website with a very fine grind and beautiful handle
