What did you buy today?

[Nice65]

Crikey, it is small isn't it..... Quite sweet actually... What's it like in the Hand.?

( jeez.! If ever a sentence could be misconstrued! )

Very nice, especially if you squeeze it tight.

TBH, it’s a 3 finger grip made very secure by the rough knurling which apparently can be used as a wood file. Feels scalpel-like in use. Whatever any reviews say to the contrary, there is a slight secondary bevel, at least there is on mine. It’s sold as a zero grind high scandi.

I'm not sure if i should be saying well done or sorry for initially tempting you I agree ref the scalpel esque feel to it.

I've been thinking about making a small 90 deg holed lanyard retainer to fit between the two main sections.

Water purefying stuff. Hydrapak 2l + Katadyn BeFree filter.



And some firewood. There are firepits nearby but you have to bring your own wood.

Water purefying stuff. Hydrapak 2l + Katadyn BeFree filter.

Is that a regular BeFree filter, or a Hero? Only recently noticed they have two versions now, and the Hero filters viruses.

 

[Herman30]

Regular BeFree, it´s only black `cos it is tactical. I did not know of this Hero-model.

This pair off of Vinted, not bought today but arrived, £10 plus a couple of quid postage…….I’m trying not to think about how they were acquired

Bit the bullet on one of these

I used to fly all sorts of radio controlled model aircraft from gliders to helicopters, but gave up the hobby when i got to play with the real thing.

Now ahem years later, at a loss as to what to do each day to keep myself sane while i wait for surgery, i figured i would get a glider kit to build from scratch, should keep me busy for a while and something to aspire to flying again when i do eventually get my mobility back.

 

[Tengu]

Somebody has put money in my account.

I do not know what I have done to deserve this; I live permanently in some fantasy now.

Anyhow; I bought a bottle of Irn-bru and some haggis.

Yay, now you've got something to poke with your stick

It’s good to read your mad posts these days, I’ve been here a while and I remember a slightly lost Tengu a while back, you’ve done well.

Pfff, should have carved one really.

Splashing money around like that doesn't sound very Scottish...

I have invested in a monocular in hopes of actually seeing some of the birdlife that frequents our locale. Spent years and years failing to focus both eyes using binoculars, and the penny has finally dropped that taking a leaf out of Nelson's book may be the answer. We shall see. (Or not)

Im not lost now; Ive found a Time period that suits me better.
