What did you buy today?

[leaky5]

Found a great stall (for a bag maker) at a bootsale this morning. They had loads of YKK 10v (PLCE size) just in the wrong colours for me. Bags and bags of contiuous zip and sliders.

I ended up with with 25m of 50mm hook and loop for a fiver and 5000m of nylon bonded thread for £3, I normally pay about £2 for a 60m roll of that.

I'm hoping this will feel as good in my hand as much as I like the look of it..

My first proper pair of walking socks & first ever compass.

Will be breaking in my boots with the socks at Glastonbury in a couple of weeks! The compass will have to wait until I get back so I can try it out (& learn to navigate for the first time in 30 years!) up Eston hills

Without sounding condescending, I'd be breaking those boots in, before Glastonbury!!

Brake them in now , and by the time you get to Glasto you'll be laughing...not crying at the blisters etc.

Don't worry! I've had them on for the last 2 days lol plus did about 8 miles in them on a charity walk from whitby to saltburn (then changed to something more broke in lol).

I'm also at Willowman Festival next week so they will be used then.

Don't leave the compass behind. Set the declination. Use it often. If for no other reason than the observe how buildings,
those with possible hidden iron, influence the reading.

The magnetic north pole is in Canada. Our foreign aid program lets everybody use it for free.

Yes I am.
I wish I could take a photo with my phone or pad and somehow slot into the post.

The software developers should have done this years ago.

It's a bandwidth problem. Forum site servers generally don't have the space to support masses of pics and videos, so it has to be handled by a seperate server that specialises, like Photobucket, Flickr, Imgur etc. Then BCUK just hosts the link to the pic on that site.

Ought to add, today I bought a OneTigris hammock underquilt for not much cash. Dunno if it'll work so well for a side sleeper like me, but worth a go. 3 tins of Zippo fuel, 15 x 8mm long steel tent pegs for the belltent (chalk and flint here has bent my Ali ones), and a Kindle Paperwhite because I'm fed up squinting at my phone in sunlight to read my books.

I got a new poncho tarp. £22
It's about 100g heavier than my Montane rain jacket so well worth it so I have a little head covering when in the Bivvy.

Got the black as it's mostly for when hiking so I wanted to look fairly normal.

Just wanted to come on and say what a joy the bushcraft store UK are to deal with. Ordered a TBS boar via standard delivery on Tuesday at around midday, arrived the next morning at 10.30am. Another easy transaction with what is in my experience a great company.
