What did you buy today?

[spandit]

2 x Alpkit Hunka bivi bags... for £5 each (Alpkit sale)! They have a faulty coating, hence the price, but as an extra cover I think that's pretty good. I'm sure they'll keep the wind down and provide some shelter for emergency use. Just a pity the XL ones weren't in the sale as not sure if I'll fit in the regular but that's my wife's Christmas present sorted...

Also bought some titanium cutlery because I don't own anything titanium and it's time I did...

Nixwax tech wash and tx spray proofing. Reproofed my gortex with another brand that said wash and proof. First big down poor total wet out. Lesson learned by cheap by twice

I bought a Lansky Diamond/Carbide Tactical Sharpening Rod, some Ballistol Universal Oil, and another Bahco Laplander Folding Saw.

I bought today, an 'Empire made' oil hand warmer similar to the one Zippo ripped off and charged more for, but this one has a hole for lighting cigarettes too, so better than the over priced Zippo and it's Empire Made.

I also bought an opti-visor as I have to change the capacitor in my Seiko Kinetic watch, as currently it is lucky if it holds a charge for half a day and that after 200 manual winds.

Today I bought a Snugpak Elite Vest/Bodywarmer in olive and a small Mil-Tec hydration backpack for half day wanderings.

 

[Mesquite]

Today I spent £80 filling my car up and £75 on Monday for a new tyre for it

 

[Gaudette]

Today I bought a new windscreen (£144.00) and a highlander rucksack waterproof cover (£6), which was far better value and judging by the guy that fitted my windscreen will probably leak less !

Same maker and spec as one of these

I have several, for the really cold months I have a Woodlore Golden Eagle, which has kept me toasty at -40 in a snow-trench, colder than the manufacturer reckoned it was good for, these days I can just wrap my self in my extra long shemagh, the nights are very warm just now.

Today I bought 3x merino base layer in sage green from Chocolate Fish (http://www.chocolatefishmerino.co.uk/)

The previous set gave me years of constant wear, and I pretty much live in them from around the end of September until early April. Which means year round I never have to wear heavy trousers. If you like merino and are not already familiar with Chocolate Fish I can thoroughly recommend both the family owners and these great garments (I have no affiliation whatsoever). In my opinion it's the best merino at prices around one third less than most other brands.

Then I bought various socks including, Perilla alpaca walk & climb socks, 1000mile, and Smartwool.

Lastly I purchased a gold membership for BushcraftUK.

Arrived this afternoon: one british Army Arctic Sleeping bag, XL, and an army OD bivvy bag. Monsters! I'd forgotten how bloody heavy that sleeping bag was - been twenty years since I lugged one around. Still, I am chuffed as heck, and my kit-list for my autumn sojourn in the woods is now complete. How I'm going to carry it all in a 45 sabre is a whole other bag of frogs...
