What did you buy today?

[Forest fella]

GERBER LMF 2 infantry in Green I've been putting it off for months and while thinking? should I give in to my urge I've missed out on the Green version twice. Stupid.
TeeDee are those Exotac Lighter Holders sturdy ?

Well that’s a bit ruddy cool.

HTG is a fine fella. I have the original 2019 as well and was with the original UKPK design team. I carry a UKPK every day. Mostly the titanium version. That’s seen 10 years of use and is still going strong. IMO it’s the finest designed slippie ever. But then there is the PITS , which is THE finest slippie design EVER. Apart from the
UKPK….. ad infinitum

You must mean 2009, non? Anyway, here’s the PITS as promised. The ano has definitely worn over the years, I’m tempted to get it re-applied.

I'll let you know when it turns up - I'm going to stick some reflective tape down the side.

Cheers I'll keep my eye out for your views on it.

Another charity shop goodie today.
A 2xD cell mag lite torch for £2.00
A bit of a tickle got it working nicely, new bulb, new batteries and cleaned the battery contacts that were a bit corroded. It's a big heavy beasty, but perfect for my night time bimbles in the pitch dark, as both a light and protection from ghosts!
At last weekends wilderness gathering, I got a long handled titanium spork for a whole pound!
I do love bargains!

Some waterproof (and crushproof) containers. Inner volume 20cl.

( I was going to make the same joke but my newly installed filter kicked in )

Thanks for taking a hit for the sarcastic team - appreciated.

Treated myself to a folding Solar Panel to keep the batteries topped up off grid.

If you swap out the bulb for a LED replacment you will see a WORLD of difference - i did that with my 6D years ago, SO bright and seems to last forever...... can't remember the last time I replaced my batterys!

 

[Woody girl]

That's on my to do list, but as I had a bulb hanging about for the last ten years or so, and the minni maglite is led I used it, also it needed a bulb as it was bulb less when I bought it, waste not etc.

Always wanted a Helle Utvaer- bought one this morning with a fallkniven dc4 (have a 10year old one), some kydex and firesteel. Going to have a go at my own sheath as not a fan of leather in wet conditions.

Also ordered a surplus wool blanket (75% wool)
Pair of 50 cal ammo cans for toolboxes

Not done yet haha...

Bought it off Tim at the Wilderness Gathering. Nice chap, very knowledgeable.

Thanks !

A lovely new cast iron skillet about 9 inch across with 2 inch deep sloped sides, a steal at 14.99, so good to find cast and not non stick stuff. Already used it, bloody heavy but very useful as a frypan, skillet or wok I should think.
TK MAXX of course !
