This old workhorse:
Ooh that's nice - 111 or 111B? Hard to tell with the wind shield in place.
Pair of Crocs off ebay 3 sizes too big (to use with Nanok sleep socks when getting up in the night).
EDC hammock from UK Hammocks.

I've just ordered a pair of bobster bugeye goggles with amber lenses, for about £12 from the US. Can't wait to have sunglasses that can't break, that will keep smoke out of my eyes while tending the fire. 
been needing a solution to that for years.
Also ordered a fiskars sw75 10" saw, the type that has a blade that slides out the handle. I had a look at one in a b&q, which was three times the price of ebay btw, and it seemed really solid and nice with a flawless sharp blade. Used to have a pair of fiskars scissors when i was at school, they were so good my teacher, a nun, kept nicking them for herself 'cos they were so good! really looking forward to that arriving.

It's a 111. An old Norwegian Army workhorse.
The 111B is rare here in Norway. If you have a left over "B" nozzle, I would be interested

Well, complete impulse purchase, but there are times you see something and you know, that you just have to have it. Rarely. But on monday I saw Rob Evans post a couple of knives up and his Woodlore clone...
Well, i coughed up some pennies and it arrived today
(his photos, i've not had a chance to get any yet)
Had a quick play in the garden and it is a phenomenal blade!

Yer chuffed to bits! All i've had before is a mora clipper and MOD survival knife, so to say this is an upgrade is an understatement! Cheers Rob!
A cordless rotary tool (like a dremel) from Lidl for £20, and a french army fleece, like this , http://www.meanandgreen.com/army/French_Army/French_Army_Fleece_Jacket/2160/2982.html for another £20 from Strikeforce supplies, really thick and well made.
Hammock from TW

Got myself a nice new watch. I've been fascinated with automatic winding ones for a while, but all I had was a cheap Chinese job that lost loads of time every day. This should satisfy the watch craving for a while.
