Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
Ok I’ll give you that. As long as you don’t mention the Gib*** word 
haha no fear of that, the Only G I like is a 50's LP junior single cut. Literally the only one I like
I am a bit of a stoveaholic. Ordered a white box stove. Not sure how stable it will be! I would be using a trangia 27 kettle or a Stanley cookset. I do like svea stoves but it would be more of an ornament than a working tool.
My friend ordered a new tablet but didn't like it so I've bought it off her.
Got no idea how to set it up tho!
It's pink, but I'm not fussy about colour, I will have to find someone to get it going . I only play games on my old tablet and I needed a new one as I accidentally trod on it and ruined the screen. So pleased I will be able to play solitaire, and mahjong again soon

That bag’s a great colour. Kit greens vary wildly. I have a Helikon-Tex Patriot fleece in ‘jungle green’ that everyone insists is black. I insist it’s not, it’s bloody Jungle Green, but might as well be black. I’ve got khaki trousers that are desert tan, and a Harkila rucksack in Hunter Green that, again, is nigh on black.
So, what’s in the pot first?
Ordered a wood stove. Winnerwell Backpack Stove.
Video in finnish I´m sure you get the hang of it:

Estate sale: a set of 7 Pacific Northwest First Nations style wood carving knives.
Generally straighter profiles than almost all the knives I use now. Bought for 60% of new prices,
made here in Canuckistan. Best for form-line carving projects.

An android tablet. My pal ordered it, but didn't like the colour (pink) and decided she'd seen another she liked better, so I had it for £45. Bargain.
It's not been used so somehow I got to set it up but I have no idea what I've got to do. I need a tech savvy personage.
I can't even find out how to set the clock and date. Heck I do hate technology!

I got that WBS years ago. Not very stable and IIRC better with wider pots. It's a fast boiler when warm enough but it's not good in cold conditions without a bit of help. Suggest a dish of method to kind of pre heat it in colder conditions. I can't remember what I did for stability but you'll work out what's needed.
It's a good stove that boils water quickly for a meths stove that hasn't got a caldera cone type windshield. Did you get the larger or smaller version?
(Edit to correct pot shape. Mistaken with another stove I bought at the same time as my wbs.)
Well I got an activity tracker with GPS,a Garmin vivosport. It's too get the most out of my exercising during COVID times and hopefully continue with a healthier lifestyle after lockdown completely ends. It is smaller than my Fitbit surge and hopefully won't rot my wrist if I sweat on it and don't dry it frequently.
Here are a few examples of the wood carving knives that I use.
I buy the blades, maybe bash off the original handles and make my own.
The striped handles are glue-ups of rosewood and mahogany.
Surface mounted, I use several different kinds of #18 nylon cord for the whipping.
The ones I just bought look much the same but straighter blades.

I decided to skip the Zebra pots and go for the Pathfinder Stainless Steel Bush Pot - 64oz. I could not decide between the 12cm or the 14cm Zebra pots but then I found this and it fits somewhere in the middle. I hope it's going to be a good bushcraft work horse.
Anyone had experience with it?

A hammered 14 inch Peking style wok. Well, I actually bought it a couple of weeks ago but it was delivered today.
It will be a mark 2. I believe it has more holes than the mark1. It sounds as if the trangia kettle will be more stable as it has a wide diameter but is relatively low.
