What did you buy today?

[Amon81]

I've had a couple of oreders arrive. First the bedroll one, boy its big. No buttons missing and is great condition, it's just musty. I'll need to give the blankets a wash. Also good to finally have a propper bottle to trasport meths now.

Second the 100g of Potassium Permanganate arrived. Happy with the speed of that. I wasn't expecting it to arrive in a bottle, it didn't, it arrive in a sealed plastic bag (the heat seal that you can't re-seal). No real big issue, I'm sure I have an old pill bottle or two somewhere. But for the time being it's been put in a old empty 100ml Dettol bottle as it was close to hand.

When I woke up this morning my nice vew Evernew Ultralight Titanium Alcohol Stove Cross Stand had arrived from America.

I gave it a test and it works perfectly for what I wanted.



Really light! as it says on the packing 16g.



I don't have the Evernew burner, just got a couple of good old Trangia ones, it fits perfectly.



One of the reasons I got one was because of the airflow, no issues with it suffocating the burner.



After a couple of minutes, I love how fast water boils in titanium.

After this quick test I'd of been happy to spend the £35 odd that it costs here, but for less than £11.50 inc P&P from America it's a bargin! eBay really can be your friend, it was also brand new and unopened packing.

Ah, interesting. Last time I looked (well over a year ago now) I'm sure most places it was £35, unless I was looking at getting there stove aswell, which I probably was. If I'd of thought about checking there website while late night ebaying I'd of bought it from them instead (supporting the Biritish market and all), I'm tempted to get the stove, so they probably will get my business in the future. I've bought all the reast of my Ti stuff from them in the past. I really like that they call you to check you got your order and that everything was fine.

[bushytoo]

Just bought a needle and thread to sew up my craighoppers.

 

[NS40]

The Craghoppers sale was on so I scanned for bargains as usual...ended up buying a nice new hooded softshell jacket fleece in a fetching black. I will admit upfront it's the BG one (which so far I've avoided) but it's still damn good kit either way.

My wife even gave her consent to me buying it as my old softshell doesn't look to great as I use it for fishing. Woohoo...shiny new jacket and I can wear it in daylight without worrying about getting caught!
