What did you buy today?
- Thread starter Nova & Pinky
- Start date
Biker
Bushcrafter (boy, I've got a lot to say!)
Some new erasers for my Pental 0.5mm propellant pencil and Firefly boxed set of DVDs the complete series on Ebay.
Haven't bought anything bushcrafty but Alison and I were walking up at the Normandy beaches today (It's her birthday so we made a day out of it) and I picked up a load of flint stone from "Juno" beach in anticipation of receiving the striker from Whittler Kev'. Figured I'd make myself a Jerimiah Johnson type tinder/striker pouch thingy. Just tried my Opinel carbon knife on one stone and got some sparks, so things are looking good.

Oh - I did find a few pennies for some leather to make more stuff to sell...and a lottery scratch card....but that last was wasted effort!

A Navigon GPS system - not particularly bushcrafty but I can now do some geocaching with the kids.

Ventile?...
Unfortunately not as that would have been cheaper! Too much negative camber means the old ones are worn to the canvas on the inner edge but looked fine on the outside and middle. It only got noticed when I had the wheels of to refinish them. An expensive set-up mistake :-(
Went down to Go-Outdoors for their sales. Montane Featherlite smock was only available in large online so I went down to the Coatbridge shop - didn't have burnt orange or red in medium (pity) but I picked up a blue one. Cost me twenty bucks. Also got two pairs of merino wool socks and two pairs of lowcut running socks half price. Had to buy one of those stupid discount cards to get the savings though the cheeky bstrds
