If the poles have been reversed, a quick swipe with a magnet should re-align the needle.

I bought an Australian army smock from only army on the recommendations of a member who was at the moot last week. It is like a buffalo but outer is cotton not pertex. So should be better around campfire will proof the outer and try it out at Northwood meet at the weekend!

Tried the smock this weekend. Performed as expected it was warm and shed water after I had spray proofed it. Not easy to remove due to lack of side zips hence the need for a larger size. Good value at £45 posted. Didn't purposely attempt to catch an ember but have more confidence in cotton canvas than pertex.

A Wood jewel drop-point puuko, seems like a really nice knife for the money...

They aren't, sadly .. the pics, I mean

Anyone had a go of the Spyderco diamond rods? Kind of interested in that possibility, as I usually rest my diamond stones on the Sharpmaker for the angle

I have the diamond rods for the sharp maker. They cut new bevels pretty quickly

The snugpak 4 sleeping bag arrived today. Has a cute little light to go in the hood that I didn't know about. Bonus! Won't use it there mind as it switches on with a push button and I can see it being switched on unintentionally when stuffing it in the compression sack and having no battery when I want it.
When the parcel arrived it was flashing alarmingly! The torch was fixed to the compression strap and had been activated in transport to me as it was only wrapped in a blue plastic posting bag.
Just the water filter to arrive now.

Platypus water filter arrived today.... but.... I accidently ordered the one with a bottle filling attachment instead of the dirty bag to clean bag system.
That's what happens when you don't have a clue what you are doing on a computer and can't physically see and touch what you are buying.
Oh well it will still work anyway. I'll rig something somehow.

Oh,

Oh but hold on a bit. I just been reading that the diamonds scrape off. For some reason I thought that the diamonds were like embedded in a ceramic matrix. Are they on tape/laminate?
