Some stainless steel storgae containers...

The big one (13.5cm dia x 17cm high) is destined to become a hobo stove, either with a 12cm Zebra billy (not bought yet), or possibly using one of the other ones as a billy (depends on how tight the lids are - pot lid should be easy to lift off one-handed when over a fire without risking spillage).


Some Helikon level 2 thermals...

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/270777467...eName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

Not sure how warm these are, but I suspect they're warmer than the more typical types (seem to have a more fleecy inside surface). Mainly for use in Scotland during the winter. Anybody tried them?


And a fleece lined windproof and showerproof smock...

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300833296...eName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

Something in me says it's too cheap to be any good. On the other hand, if I see it as a windproof jumper, maybe it isn't too bad. (Only one way to find out.)
 
- Becker BK2 (I know, it's heavy but I want something that'll last 'forever')
- Nalgene Oasis canteen (1L) + Nalgene Collapsible canteen (1.5L)
- used Stainless steel canteen cup
- compass
- tablet for water purification

still looking for a good tarp and a book about edible plants (and wildlife ;) ) in Scotland/England, but so far so good..
 
swallow, you will have to tell me how long the batteries last in your Mapwins head torch. The las one I purchaced from them was a 3 colour one (green white and red) and the batteries that where 2 aaa , lasted 2 hours. Bought a 15 quid one from oswald baileys using coin cells and they last for 40 hours and weigh 20g.
 
Went to the local charity warehouse today and picked up this.

A Jansport external frame pack its all there zips work etc. I'd fancied trying an external frame pack again and i think this one will fit the bill.
Also picked up a Kai pak 3 tent which has never been used. I was going to use the material for a project but it seems to good to break up. I just need to find some poles. There is an old thread from 2007 i found here does anyone have any experience of this tent ? I have never heard of them. The price was a £1 each what a bargain!
 
Hydrogen Peroxide. To care for a couple of wounds over the next two weeks; I had two skin cancers removed yesterday.

Glad they got them early enough ( I hope) I used to use it for mouth swill once every now and then. That was when I was on 3 cans of Grizzly wintergreen a day. Sadly I don't get dip sent over anymore so just stick to mouth wash. Folks don't seem to use bleach for wounds as much these days.
