What did you buy today?

[Elen Sentier]

I dunnit! I bought myself a Berghaus Crusader in the Simply Hike sale. I've been faffing about this for months and finally got my act together. Sooooo ... when you see this little red-haired old lady wobbling along the track under an army-size bergen you'll know it's me . Seriously, I'm looking fwd to having a go at packing it tonight/tomorrow and seeing all my bulky (if light!) kit going in. I've tried it on and it feels weird after my Gossamer Gear Murmur ... from the sublime to the gor blimey, or is it the other way around ??? I'll be interested to see if it does do what I think it will. Just put up the one rubbish pic as I'm sure you all know what it is! And there are super pix and vid online anyway. Am keeping both bags BTW as they serve very different purposes .

My DD Hammocks 3x3m tarp arrived today. Will see a lot of use as my backpackinglight solo tarp is too small to use with a hammock and my DD extra large tarp is a bit ginormous for solo camping.

Loads over the last few weeks!

- DD 3 x 3 Tarp (as my 4.5 x 3 was just too big!).
- Titanium tent stakes (nice....)
- Vargo Aluminium Windshield (although it says you can use it as pot stand DON'T, it will lose its temper if in a flame longer than about 6 mins. Little disappointed).
- Titanium 1ltr Pot
- Minibulldesign remote stove (to add to my home made alcohol stoves).
- More 550 Para Cord (bit disappointed. Said it's MilSpec, but it's not the best).
- A new Firesteel.

Basic stuff really. It can't ALL be exciting! That said, the fuel spent on visiting relatives would have bought a load more Gucci stuff!

Happy New Year to all
