Two steel shelving units from liddell, and a pressure sprayer to make a camp /powercut shower.

Well, bought this a couple months ago so don’t know if it counts! I got it to carry out a load of mods on, but after using for a while, the list has got shorter. I have to say both the medium and large are very nice comfortable packs to wear! I am a big fan of the external frame!

River cottage handbook no.2, preserves 
(although it was very nearly no. 12, Booze!)
(although it was very nearly no. 12, Booze!)Yesterday at a local art trail weekend I bought a hand made leather knife neck sheath. It was veg tanned full grain leather made in Lancashire from Scottish sourced leather apparently. Met the locally based maker. It came with a little whitby folder at 1.75" blade and liner lock. Not EDC I believe because it locks but it's sharp and had some use already. I could easily change the knife to something a similar size if I want but it'll do for know.
I'm not one for carrying knives like that but it looked really nice sheath and I will likely carry it at certain times, if nothing else I'll probably use it in the garden. Next year I might buy a horizontal sheath for a bigger knife from him. I like his work. I think whilst some might think it a craft not art but I disagree, it is right to have this guy's leatherwork in an arts trail with all the painters, potters and sculptors.

A Firemaple gaslantern.
I have a couple of the narrower versions of these and some connection tubes that make a double lamp. They’re really good looking things and a pleasant light.
It‘s worth investing in an adaptor to refill the wide (and expensive) camping canisters from the cheap blowtorch tall butane ones. Butane burns nice and golden like in your pics, better than the propane/butane mix designed for cold weather. It’s as easy as filling a lighter to be honest and saves a fair bit of cash.
My adaptor is a cheapo like this:

I put the receiving can in the freezer, and the donor somewhere warm, works well.
I had one of those,the fuel pipe at the bottom rotted away,tried to get it repaired,no-one would look at it,shame really,it was a really good genni when it worked.
Oh dear. Was it stored long term or used frequently?
Plan on running it once a fortnight maybe weekly
