What did you buy today?

[Woody girl]

Another order went to the bushcraft store by phone today.
A reel of bank line
A kupilka plate to go with my kupilka cup and kfs set
A haversack.
Hope to have them in a few days time as I have a plan to get out in the woods this weekend for a brew, and bacon and eggs, and some much needed woods tv. Haven't been out since lockdown mk2 started. Just lost the mojo. Hopefully new kit will give me a jog in the right direction, as I'll want to try it out!

My order from the bushcraft store has arrived, less than 24hrs since the order, and by normal standard post too! Wow!

Yes, it's a Blunt Metro. I have a couple of their brollies in different sizes, and they are the only ones that don't break. There is a bit of give in the way they are constructed. Also, whilst it is a collapsible brolly, it doesn't pack down as small as others, and is a bit heavier. Just so as you know in case you want to pursue.

Last week I got a reflector oven. It´s supposed to be used in front of a fire.




Packed for transport.

Thank you for the review. I did consider one but they're a tad pricy for me. Although the country gent in me does rather enjoy an umbrella..... I did find a beautiful waxed cotton cane umbrella in a charity shop last year and it really goes well with my Barbour!

A blast from the past

Brand new £20 from Military Mart. Had one years ago but the stove got squashed flat under other kit.

Two Brusso Stop Hinges from Classic Hand Tools.
Spent two days fettling and fitting butt hinges from Screwfix in three keepsake size boxes, only to realise that I needed a hinge stop / hinge stay and it was going to be a royal pain doing it and the style of box didn't suit many options.
Gran always said the Half Guinea never caught the Guinea.
Now need to spend the rest of the day plugging screw holes and re-cutting slightly larger and deeper mortises in the two best boxes, and figuring out stays for the other three that I have made.

Also just had two Lion Steel knives arrive, a B35 Olive and a B42 Orange thanks to Heinnie. I am not happy with my weakness! I have dipped into next month's budget
I was most impressed with Lion Steel when I handled their M4 and B40 18 months ago. I am now designing a knife that is very similar in size and concept to the B35 and I really wanted to have a look at the competition. Also, having reviewed the Benchmade Puukko and commented on price/value I thought I needed to look at the Lion Steels up close to see how they stack up in use.

A Silky Bigboy 2000....my poor ol Bahco Laplander just ain't cutting it as good these days, and I thought I'd treat myself to a Christmas upgrade

You’ll question why you ever bothered with the bahco once you use the silky.

Just ordered a Skrama 240 as a christmas present for myself

That's funny, you're not the first person to have said that

Cheers,

Perfect replacement for the pair I lost and Cotswold had them listed at the wrong price which they honoured so got a bargain!!

Odered some Zebralights just now and, in the process, discovered that they won't be shipping outside the US after the end of the year.

Don't know if this means they are part of the Only America movement, or if they will be getting their distribution done by dropshipping franchisees. Anyway, I am hoping for a brilliantly lit Yule.
