Bought this last weekend, should pick it up Saturday 
What did you buy today?
- Thread starter Nova & Pinky
- Start date
Bought the other day but finally arrived. We got a twin pack sawyer mini filters! Should aid our adventures! And save me from being the family camel!
I can't remember exactly what the cost was, but I think it was an extra £5 or so for a twin pack rather than a single!

Got the Kestrel 38 and Aether 70 Plus, best rucksacks ever........In my opinion of course.
For the 300 odd panelling planks I have to trim for the shepherd's hut
Oooh !!! Shiny!!!
But why not just use a handsaw ?? Old school.

The truth is I can cut an absolute straight line with a handsaw without problem but the idea of cutting 200mm off 320 2.4m planks doesn't appeal

Too little of a challenge yeah? I get it.
Thats a lot of plankage. I look forward to seeing the Hut come together.
I bought a generous helping of my house-keeper's time. She is forever doing little things that I discover as surprises.
Absolutely nothing!
Not a penny left my hands today. I like to have at least one day a week where I buy zilch.

I'm carving a pair of story poles (5" x 64") each describing the life cycle of a butterfly. The 'big end' has big radius curves. There was a 3/18 and 5/18 in my post box today.
At risk of following the crowd, I finally forked out for some vidda pros. At first sight they look great, can't wait to put them through their paces. I have some lightweight Montane terra pants so these should complement them well.

I seriously would be interested in how many days of real use it takes until they fall in pieces. The Fjällräven Karl needs just 200 days of use until you can throw it away.

I'll let you know in due course. I was always hesitant about fjallraven, but the one fjallraven jacket that I've owned (skogso padded) has been wonderful, durable and in my mind well worth the cost, so I was happy to take the punt on these trousers and see how they go.
They made for decades in Sweden durable seams. Suddenly the stuff fell in pieces after a short time after the production went to Asia.
The question is, if they had a problem that they solved in between or if they want that these products last only four years in normal use with the result that they last half a year if I wear them every day on a trekking tour or world journey.
Jack Wolfskin decided to sell rubbish in masses instead of the former quality goods. That's how one can make the most money in a shorter time.
Did Fjällräven decide it too or did they have a technical problem that they solved? Both is possible.

Typhoon surface drysuit for the kayak. With next week's forecast, it'll be getting tested sooner rather than later...
Yeesh, this weather!! We haven't been able to get out in ages. Went once about 3-4 weeks ago and have been hunkered down ever since!
I had to google that. What a thing!
How did you get it home, or did you get Amazon to deliver it?
