What did you buy today?
- Thread starter Nova & Pinky
- Start date
I dismantled it and used a bobby pin for the lid hinge so it completely comes apart then the handle and bottom half fit inside the top to half the size. It won’t let me upload a second pic of it stashed together
…part 3 - it’s component bits.
Tried it out this morning and makes a decent brew. It’s only a 3 espresso cup so a couple of little brews. Just enough for me and the Mrs to start the day

As I’m just getting into wild camping I’ve been buying a few new things. This Trekology Yizi Go turned up today. First impressions are good but yet to be field tested.

Really like my 600 but they are prone to quickly trashing the nylon sheath supplied. Where was the kydex one from?
One of the few knives I really do regret selling is the one I bought from Rob years ago.
The more knives I own the more I realise how good that one was!
This is the one: https://heinnie.com/clip-carry-mp600/
Where did you get that, looks nice. Had a look on Ali, but didn’t see any Petrified ones I liked, apart from a folding one that was shaped like a shark when open, I particularly liked the blade profile, the PFE10, it has what I think, might be called a Wharncliffe shaped blade. I like a flat blade like on Sheep’s foot etc. The thing that puts me off buying it is, I could imagine such overly officious customs seizing it as a” dangerous looking knife “ and at £78, it’s too much money to risk. But I do like yours, but couldn’t find it.Good haul, definitely ‘buy once, cry once’ purchases.
I’ve got a couple of Civivi knives and was looking at Vosteed too, but there are enthusiasts about saying how nice the action is on them, and I agree, but that the action on a Petrified Fish is sublime. I’m going to find out if they're right.
I’ve got a yellow thing going on at the moment.

That is not an espresso maker. It is a moka pot.espresso maker
Espresso is made by pressing water with 112 - 251 PSI pressure through coffee in 20-30 seconds. Can only be achieved with one of these: https://www.google.com/search?newwi...dtVAE4QtKgLegQIEhAB&biw=1254&bih=627&dpr=1.36
Fair enough, I stand corrected but you might want to tell Amazon too as that’s how they describe it but it still makes ok coffee for when I’m camping

I have the Helinox of which this is a copy. Good chairs as long as the ground is hard enough so the legs don't sink in.

Bought an excellent hot weather hat = south african boonie.
Good wide brim and soft padding on top of hat (soaks up sweat and lets it evapourate).
And a nice neutral color (non-military).

Oh yes Finns tend to be very slightly pedantic, the other national sport is understating.
Something locks
If it’s good enough for Montalbano it’s good enough for me.
I don’t give a toss what the drink is called, if it’s strong enough and there is enough of it, it will do.
The whole world calls the Bialetti coffee maker and espresso maker.
(Just don’t serve me a bloody Ristoretto)
Enjoy your packed down espresso maker, it’s clever. It’s a pity it won’t stay that bright after being in a camp fire!
Not the whole world, maybe your world
The confusion comes from the fact that Bialetti call it the 'Express' - half the British population think their drinking Expresso
Still use one of these great mats, just use air mats when I don’t want anyone knowing I am camping
