Just been reading Food for free by Mabey. Got the hardback for £10 and the little collins gem version for just under £4. Bargain. Amazon special deal BTW. Looks a very good book/s and I hope I will get to go out and see what I can see with the little book after reading the big one at home. I only got it after spotting it in the bargsains section and having heard it was gd on here.
What did you buy today?
- Thread starter Nova & Pinky
- Start date
Ordered a 27" iMac to replace my ageing computer. Luckily work have a scheme whereby you lease it through salary sacrifice saving tax and NI contributions- couldn't afford it otherwise!!
Ooo, nice. Has it just arrived or have you just ordered it?
I've got one and its the best bivy Ive used.
A pair of Ultrafire C8's 1300 lumens Torch's to attach to my bike.
Far better than expected, good spread almost as good as my friends dedicated cycle light
.
Only down side, I didn't have enough time to charge the battery's before my night ride. So I used what ever charge they had already.
Halfway round, one gets low on power and starts flashing but the other is still going strong. Until the last section home, it became so dim I could hardly see

Today I bought a pair of "Yanes Mountain Pass 78" Snowshoes for my arctic trip in February...
It's just arrived today, birthday recently so it was a gift from my sister. Glad to hear you're happy with yours, can't wait to get out and use mine!
I bought it to replace my dpm goretex bivy which I sold a month or so ago, the Borah one is around 1/4 of the weight and packs down to about 1/2 the size. The plan is to use it inside my new Trailstar or under the Tarp I made recently.
Which options did you go for? I've never had anything that uses M90 before so i'm interest to see how it performs

I got a bag measuring 82" Girth at shoulders, and 64" girth at foot. Which turned out to be a perfect fit for me. I like to sprawl a bit. I used it last week under my brown trailstar. [I learnt that on a dark night, you can walk 10 feet away from the trailstar and lose sight of it.]
The M90 seems to breathe really well. It was 1'C There was a lot of condensation under the trailstar, but no dampness in the bivy.

Ooof, they look the dogs doo daa's. Did you order them from the States?
Both of you guys should get some pics up of these bags. Been in my favourites a long time but waiting to see one before i commit. I particularly like the sound of the reduced noseeum panel. Pics, we need pics
6 mini firesteel a from China. At £1.99 for three I figured I'd give it a go, and maybe I'd not loose all of them.
Two sledge hammer handles for a rehandling session.
Some new tools for the forge.

Getting a 4 wheeler, full suspension, pneumo tyred pram fir our first kid. Long lead times, upto 6 months for some brands!!!!
Funny how buying a pram still brings out the gear freak tendancies...
Went into WS surplus supplies Oxford to look at sweaters and response packs. Came out with a yard broom and 1lb claw hammer both at half price £6 for both- well pleased. Noticed that they have a wide range of bushy things but my wife was with me so I didn't buy anything.
