What did you buy today?
- Thread starter Nova & Pinky
- Start date
Arrived today. Got the black anodized Nichia 519A LED Hi CRI 5000k version 650lumen max.
No mechanical lock out as the threads are not anodized. Instead relies on a double click to turn on. Or hold for .5s for it's ultra low (5 lumen) mode. Also comes with a USB-C chargeable battery installed, so has a little insulation film, probably worth keeping hold of. It can slide alongside the battery to store it.
Nice. If Carlsberg did LED emitters…
Recently bought a couple of Convoy S2+ with the 519A. They really do produce a superb light, though I may try and sell the 4000K.
Geoff Wood strap for my MKvii 1942 gas mask bag arrived a couple of days ago.

More homesteady than bushcrafty but picked up another water butt today, the 3rd of the year so another 600+ litres of storage. Also managed to tweet the old ram pump last week to get it to pump up a bit more water. Just in time by the looks of the weather.
A whole white fleece, freshly shorn from a rather embarrassed looking sheep.
Plenty of crafting in the works with that little beauty.
Best thing it was free!

Found a interesting prototype of a thermoskirt made by our defence forces. Probably something they tried out and never came in to production.
Cool thing is, it can be used also as a shoulder cape (covering my back down to the top of my bottom) by buttoning the waist button.
This is the way I´m going to use it since waist size too small for me. And I often feel cold around the shoulders wintertime even if properly dressed.
It has a zipper closure when used as a skirt.

Two of these for £50 each.
Grey water/Water Harvesting tanks.
1520 Lts per piece
Just need to see If I can find some lids from the manufacturers anywhere.

Have a look at the lids for blue barrels as well, a lot of those are screw top and in varying diameters
Yes -will do - if push comes to shove I can fabricate a 'new' collar an lid to sit over the top of this as its purely to keep debris out.
Bargain. Where did you see them?
Be interesting to see how long they take to fill if we get a summer storm.
On farcebook marketplace.
I think for the price you are right - they were a real bargain - couldn't really say No. Weirdly they are an Israeli product.
If/When I go ahead with the big rebuild of this bungalow I am hoping to collect the Rain water and use that - I think 3000lt should give a good contingency margin.
( Need to look into how best to implement that )
I also live beside a stream and a river so legally entitled ( and do ) allowed to harvest a maximum of 20 cubic metres of water a day.
Property also benefits from having its own septic soakaway ( already checked and passed by the legal types ) - so ideally I would like to tell the water board I no longer require them. Maybe.
