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.
….and at £27 not bad value. Will have to see if anyone on here can make me a nice leather sheath for it.
I was wanting a Lance Ockenden necker but not seen any for sale on his site http://www.driftwoodwalker.co.uk/NECKER.htm (no connection)

I just bought this book:
"Primitive Technology: A Book of Earth Skills"
http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias=aps&field-keywords=Earth+Skills
It is an absolute belter of a reference source.
The only thing I take issue with is the word "Primitive"; to me it implies a modern superiority. "Early" is a more accurate and respectful term.

I bought 3 more huricane lanterns off of ebay last night.
They're nice to have around the campfire during the night.

A Titanium Spork, I dont like plastic (stains) and stainless is OK but they dont make a spork out of it.
OK went out for a walk on Cannock chase, via Burton and Springfields
the walk was great and relaxing, now the purchases were a bit of retail therapy
Mora Bushcraft Force knife (to try and see what they are like)
new pair of 1000mile mil socks (needed for work) ( my excuse)
some after bite (if i forget the mosi/midge repellant)
mini mist handy size insect repellant ( small ticket pocket size, going to try it out for work)
Other recent purchases have been:
EMT scissors (broke my last pair and needed a new set for my team medic kit)
2 CAT toriquets ( had 2 needed 2 more)
A Rapid boy Krydex clipper sheath set (works a treat, many thanks)
A cheap wool blanket (to try a few blanket tricks out with cause I did not want to wreck my £200 wool whelsh blanket (mum would kill me)
some cling-ons for my tarps (got them cheap at Clas Olson (love this store)all we need is a xxxl at merry hill )
a cheap 4 Gb music palyer for when out and about (I hate I-Pods but that just me)

Just over a week ago before a week's backpacking I got a powermonkeyexplorer. Didn't realise it takes 3.5 hours to re-charge a smart phone and uses a full charge too. Plus it came up with a warning before fully re-charging it. Not sure it was worth the £60 but its a new toy so will do something with it.
Also Rab storm bivvy.
Esbit for my first ever esbit stove.
new trail shoes (20% off couldn't resist).
tiny alky gel bottle to go with trowel and tissues and lighter (need I say more?).
8 and 20 litre sea to summit UL sil-nylon drybags (20% off too).
Bacon and fried potatoes dehydrated travellunch (ReiterIIRC) breakie - not worth it and taste goddamn awful.
CHocolate mouse dehysrated from Reiter - mmm! Had me bouncing off the walls though so suspicious as to what is in there. Got to try the vanilla pud some time, hope it has the same affect!!
Thinking of a MLD trailstar after reading a Colin Innottson review of it in which he raved about it.
Also thinking of raidng BPL-UK again. Why does Bob have such an alladins cave of goodies? Evernew stuff is in as is the hip flask I think!!

I bought I svord peasant. I'm going to have a go and making some custom scales out of a nicer wood. Then I'm considering asking one of the makers to make a little leather horizontal belt sheath. I'm off to post loads of annoying questions in the DIY section now...
Well, its taken me a fortnight, here and there... bits and bobs, sanding and stropping. My new addition/purchase and worth every penny!
My husqvarna hatchet feel's heavy and cumbersome now
Hair popping'ly shaving sharpy...

Just saw this thread. Not sure if its a good thing to record all you have bought, especially when you look back and check out how much they cost.
Recent purchases (in the last week): Swedish Army Snow Smock, Snow Walker's Companion (from the states), Leather Dye
