Collapsible mug, some more gas for the jetboil, knife fork and spork set, wide mouthed bottle, all from Go outdoors, ventured on ebay, made a daft offer for a rucksack and it got accepted, will see how it is when it turns up.

Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
I got one of those few years back, it's great, if you take one cup out you can get gas and mini stove in it with a sachet of drink and a folding spoon.I have no car so I travel by bus or train (sometimes a combinatin of them both) and carry my stuff in a rucksack, so that dictates that whatever I carry has to be small and light as possible.
Oh, and I forgot to mention: as a boiling vessel I use this Stanley with nesting cups.
AliExpress.
No idea what I’ll do with them, use a couple in the camper, one in the kitchen at night, same in bathroom. Probably give a load away.
Gimme a shout if you want a few mate, I owe you one for the glow rings.
Ohhhh- yes please. Thank you.
Drop me your address again, I did have it but can’t find the PM, I’ll bung a few in a bag for you.
A Rutlands R1615FX thicknesser.
Been looking for a second hand thicknesser for a while and this came up in my daily mail shot from Rutlands. It's a special deal with just over 25% off due to being in obsolete packaging.

A mini usb led light. Bright enough to light up a 25 square meter apartment to be able to funktion normally when it´s dark outside. Not daylight bright of course.

Strangest looking pizza oven i've ever seen. Can't imagine you're going to get much of a crust from that.
Wool fabric. Sourced from a UK mill.
I want to make a few things and I have found a source of interesting 100% wool fabrics designed and woven in Yorkshire. I'm very keen on using locally sourced fabrics. Their stock has fabrics made in UK, but also from other countries that have decent conditions for the textile workers (Europe mainly). There's a couple of main ranges that are made in UK:
Heart of Huddersfield: https://fabworks.co.uk/collections/heart-of-huddersfield-fabworks-exclusive-bespoke-wools
Yorkshire Tweed: https://fabworks.co.uk/collections/wool-wool-blends/yorkshire
The range includes some proper felted Melton cloth made in Yorkshire, different colours and weights. There's a good mix of brights and also some muted shades which work well in the outdoors but are not boring!
The fabrics are all full width (59 inch, 1.5 metres) selvage-selvage and are priced in half-metre units which is ideal (the fabric comes as one length, it's just priced in half-metre increments).
(Note: If you are not used to translating the fabric weight descriptions into real life, I suggest going to the shop or getting samples, these are fabrics for dressmaking and furnishings not blanket fabrics).
I think that prices are very reasonable for the quality and UK source of fabric. They have a proper shop/mill in Huddersfield (which you can go to and buy there) but they also went on line with COVID (which is why they are still in business). The chap who runs the place is really friendly and helpful.
I am very happy with the quality of the fabric I received (I bought a few lengths of different types). The images on screen are a good representation of the fabrics, and dispatch/delivery (DPD Local) were very prompt. I am hoping to visit the mill when I next am working in that area although I suspect I will need to put a lock on my wallet!

A Gransfors Bruks Ray Mears Wilderness axe. Seems like I got the last one available as they're now showing as out of stock.
I don't think I've ever seen a GB axe supplied with a steel cross or round wedge
I think it’s just a dig at the other recent thread about an axe handle.
