What did you buy today?

[Woody girl]

I've been hunting this for years. Today I bagged a copy for £2 in the charity shop.
What is it?
A copy of Rodger Phillips Mushrooms and other fungi of Great Britain and Europe.
Yaaay! So happy!

Thats great.

Its always great to find a hard to source book.

Better if its a good price.

Charity shops often have good stuff alongside the boring; this week I found a good 70s book on Tablet Weaving and a 2009 book on finger weaving.

Finaly my enamel "stew pot" arrived. My daughter ordered it for my Xmas present but was lax about sending it to me.
I wanted the blue one but got a green one. To be honest I'm glad .
It's much lighter than I imagined , but perfect for a large meal to be cooked over campfire. Might have to keep an eye on the bottom burning but it wont be any worse than a stainless pot.
I intend to use it mainly as a lightweight Dutch oven.

Snugpak underquilt. I've upgraded for the season.

I bought this bottle and nesting cup:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Baoblaze-S...teel+water+bottle+fire&qid=1574458648&sr=8-29

Bottle is great. Cup is great. Mesh bag is great. Cup and bottle aren't a great fit, but I knew this from reviews. Didn't want to spend enough to get the pathfinder, so can't complain.

Cup and bottle aren't a great fit

To tight or loose?

 

[Suffolkrafter]

To tight or loose?

Too loose. Could fit a bit of cloth in there to tighten it up. Comes with a hanger which fits in the space. Probably what I'll do is buy more nesting cups until I find one that fits and end up spending what I'd have spent on the path finder bottle.

An Old Hickory Skinner.....most definitely a Nessmuk therein.
Anyone have an 'experience lead' idea how best to curve the handle section???

A Filson Timber Cruiser. Must be the thickest wax cotton I've handled.

Deekin: I'm in love. What a good looking coat but the sleeves look awful short.

As of 11AM today and under a -35C sky, I bought $600-$700 worth of marked diesel to run my central heating furnace.
It's been so damn cold and I did run dry last Sunday (Tues. now). Truck is frozen shut and the battery is dead.
I will sleep happy tonight.

they're perfect. The Jacket is quite long in the body.

Blue/grey Oyster mushroom spawn, hydrated lime and some mushroom grow bags.

First foray into mushroom growing. Kids are excited about it, wife's not so keen!

Trangia Triangle. Seems very expensive for what it is but hopefully will speed up the cuppa making process a bit.
