I broke the bank today.
I've been toying with the idea of getting a laplander style saw, for when I have a proper go at making a campfire.
On the way back from a little wander earlier today, I popped into Poundland (rude not to) and saw this.
It should probably have the word 'disposable' in the product title, but it might be handy while I'm practising my wood cutting skills in the garden
I also got two emergency shelters, which are basically a very cheap tarp, ideal if you are in a tent, fancy some grub and don't want to get soaked to the skin, cooking outside in the rain. I carried one with me during last summers adventures, I only needed to use it a couple of times, but it did the job when I needed it to and didn't burst into flames, which is always a bonus.
I also got two wind up torches, which proved popular with my friends who developed a habit of 'acquiring' them off me.
And two head torches, which from last years experiences are great in the dark, so long as there isn't any rain.
Now I'm not going to claim Poundland products are of the highest quality, or are likely to be that long lasting, but in my experience, they are handy for cheapo camping spares and practice before you buy a proper one type things.
I also popped in to Millets, who are still marking down some decent gear to silly prices and picked up two of these for £1 each

Lots of change from a tenner.

I've just got the Honey Stove (at last) plan on giving a good field test this weekend up at Brockwell.
I also ordered some Hammock Spreader bars (Fits on the DD hammock to to keep the mozzy net spread, It's going to save me a lot of hassle finding and trimming sticks to put it up. but they haven't been delivered as of yet, I was hoping to take them along as well.

My Cuscadi scales came in today for my Doug Ritter Griptilian.
Very very happy with them, the scales now seem to match the quality of the blade.
