A Frost River Isle Royale Jnr pack arrived today along with a matching pouch and a very cool lunchbag. Best of it was, they're using Fedex now so unless I get a bill in the post it appears I have avoided tax and duty!! :)


Taking them for a spin this weekend so pics shall follow....

I've had a bit of a surplus kit buying splurge today.

Turbojet Storm Lighter
Highlander 3 in 1 can opener
Trouser twists
OG long sleeved 'Bushcraft' shirt
British Army Norwegian 'Norgie' shirt
British Army Basha + stuff sack - £5 BARGAIN BUY
British Army Jungle sleeping bag + waterproof stuff/compression sack - To 'pimp' my Czech army bed roll, for lighter summer use.

I'm a happy bunny :)
 
Due to an unforseen windfall (of sorts) today I bought:

- Set of 12 mini-woodcarving chisels (For making a Wood Spirit for my son's birthday)
- Mora 511 (Again, for my son to begin proper knife use with)
- Mora Frost 120 Woodcarving knife (Eventually, a decent carving knife! - Explains itself, this LM Wave is painful after hours of carving!)
- A basic fishing set (My last fishing trip was when I was 12 (Now 33)... I WILL catch my own dinner this year!!)
- A 3.5m x 4.5m Groundsheet/Tarp (I have a 7th wonder hex-tarp, but living in the lakes, one needs a BIG and quality tarp!)
- and some OG 550 Paracord for tying that tarp down.
- Oh and some milk and biscuits - gotta keep ones self fueled y'know!

Next up will be Mossie nets, a load of weaving willow, spoon & other knives, decent high-grit sharpening stones, a quality hammock, firesteel, and a partridge in a pear tree.

:D

I spent som serious money on a survival knife. Hesitated for a long time: I have plenty of knives, and all will do the job admirably. But this one called out to me, wanted me to have it. So I took out my wallet and spent the cash. I really love it, sharp, fits the hand, is just right, and think it will be my main user for a while: this knife was not made to be a drawer queen.
