Costs 3p to make with child slave labour and they easily make up any shortfall selling your credit card details to the Triads
A large bap with egg and bacon and a cup of coffee... Absolutely delicious way to start the day

That's got to be the bargain of the day... well caught
I've been meaning to get myself some knid of propper bed roll and I read a thread on here a couple of weeks ago about one from http://www.militarymart.co.uk.
Infact here is the thread: http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=80569&page=7
Well I had a look at a few things and ended up getting a few things from them:
First the Czech army bed roll: http://www.militarymart.co.uk/index.php?_a=product&product_id=1772 For £9.99 I had to try it!
I also got some socks, a spare rubber ring for my Trangia stove, a fold-a-cup (I've deen meaning to get one for years now and for £5 I thought sod it, add to basket), a towel, a Viper belt and lastly a 250ml bottle for my meths so I don't need to take the a bigger bottle I buy it in with me when I go out.
Not bad for just over £30 plus P&P. Though I could of spent way more, and probably will in time.

Therm-a-rest NeoAir All Season sleeping mat, I tried it on my hard wood floor and it was incredibly comfortable, I'm looking forward to trying it on lumpy ground this weekend. The crinkle isn't as bad as I expected either.
Got myself some Howard Leightning LOF ear defenders, sick of my bulky Peltor ones and used them today.. they are SO worth the money. Lightweight, comfortable, thin, but still muffle sound of chainsaws and strimmers enough.
A battery converter for my old Petyzl zoom headtorch...allows you to stop using the flat battery and use 3 x AA's instead (generally easier to source and saves me carrying umpteen types of spare battery).
In saying that I love my Alpkit HT now but the zoom will go to one of the kids...too attached to it to throw it out any time soon.

Biker
Bushcrafter (boy, I've got a lot to say!)
My ticket for The Moot as well as my ferry ticket from Calais to Dover got that for £78 return. To sail from Caen to Portsmouth would have cost me £350+ :yikes: Figured I got myself a bargain despite the fuel costs.
It's official now - Biker's going to the Moot, it's not too late to get a full refund!!!
You have been warned!

Just been eBaying.
I've just sent off a new unused Evernew Ultralight Titanium Alcohol Stove Cross Stand which I've been meaning to get for a while, plus was only $17.50 which works out to £11.27. That includes P&P from America as well so it's a bargin.
I also got 100g of Potassium Permanganate. Very usefull stuff. I don't use it very often, but its great stuff for athlete's foot (which I get every couple of years) or added with glicerin makes a hell of a fire starter.

Try Mycota spray. Just as good but it isn't purple.
I've never found the creams and powders anywhere near as good as the spray. If they sold it just as a liquid in a bottle I'd get that instead.

Ah, I didn't know they did a spray, next time I get athlete's foot I'll have to give it a try. I've used the powder before though, I wasn't that impressed.
