Nice! how do you find the handle on it, was told they're a little thin for larger hands?
What did you buy today?

thanks, they are thin, about 15-16mm at the widest. too small for my large hands anyway. i'll be re handling it at some point.
My fleece arrived yesterday. First impressions are very positive indeed. I am exactly 6' 0" tall, 43 chest, 34 waist - the XL fits perfectly.
Yet to try it in bad conditions and need to experiment with which layers work best but ... seems pretty good for the money.
So, again, many thanks for the heads-up.
Best Wishes,
David
They are cracking fleeces. Even in the worst of the recent weather I've been plenty cosy with no more than a fleece baselayer/t-shirt on underneath. In warmer weather I've had to use the underarm vents to stay cool.
Glad you're enjoying it
Bought a new Buffalo, a Belay Jacket Shorter so easier to pack in my daysac for rests/ stops on walks.
I’ve clicked on a German Mountain BW sack for the hols and beach, though also I clicked to get a Norwegian Ludvig bag from Ireland, jus couldnt resist the Nostalgia of canvas and leather.
I found a seller on eBay with Petromax 4.5FT Dutch ovenss for £35, I couldn't pass it up!

4.5ft dutch oven???
Jeez, you must be feeding hordes with that and you'll need a crane to lift it
The Norwegian Patrol pack came today, unused and all the leather straps everything, can’t beleive it’s in this condition, from and Etsy seller called ChevaldeGuerre.
Not sure I’ve even got a use for it

Sadly no bushcraft stuff but found a litre of jim beam in asda on special £16, stopped me moaning about being dragged shopping after work
Just collected from the postie all the way from Finland a Savotta Pena-Laavu,,,,,,,,only 65 Euro so cant complain, it does look handy to have and carry, only a few vids on the tube on them.

Just received my new in-the-bag old stock "JACKET, COMBAT MVP, DDP", from Strikeforce Supplies Ltd. That is an unissued British Army desert camo 'army goretex' jacket, which will be a lot better for my fishing on rainy days than my short, leaky 15 year old Berghaus
I would also like to report good service from Jasper at Strikeforce, including a quick turnaround when I ordered 200/128 size which turned out massively (!) big, and then swapped it for a far better fitting 190/120 version.
Cheers, Bob

Picked up one of these at Mountain Warehouse, down filling and stuff sack. £35 (plus Forces discount). The ones without the hood are £15 more! Ideal for under my waterproof jacket.

Just brought a Bush Box XL. Seems like a really good bit of kit so I am really looking forward to giving it a go.
Treated myself to a Nikon d3400 dslr, wanted to get into photography and get some decent photos of days out , just need to sort a way of storing it in my day pack.
Might see if someone sells an insert to fit in a rucksack.
