What shall I buy with my birthday money?

[Nev36]

Got £100 to spend on a new "Toy" or piece of equipment. What would you lot buy?

Don't need any more knifes (well nothing for £100 anyway). Got axe. Tent, hammock, cookers, clothes etc.

Was thinking about some Ice Bear Waterstones but feel like I'm missing something else.

Any food for thought?

A decent saw, maybe a silky? A sleeping bag? Put it towards a bushcraft course maybe?

touched by nature

 

[crosslandkelly]

+1 to that.

Put it towards a course, knife making, bushcraft, foraging etc. Memories last longer than equipment.

Niels please tell me you have one, I just have an image of your wonderful dog staring at it figureing out how it's going to get it and what it's going to do with it.

Nev, what sort of things do you do in the outdoors, purely bushcraft, walker, climber, biker?

Cheers GB.

To be honest, there's more joy to be had from 'giving'. Maybe you should buy 'me' something instead?

Hope this helps

I don't have one, but it's definately on my wish list. I think you're right about the dog issue though

 

[Nev36]

Hahahahaha. That hat made me chuckle. I've got a Laplander so don't need a saw (should have said that, so good idea bro).

I could actually look into a bushcraft course. I hike, bike, and wild camp all in the Peak District me nice to do something local. I'm by no means an outdoors expert and you can never learn to many new skills. Any recommendations?

I am actually going on a 7 day canoe trip in Sweden in August. What would be helpful for this you reckon guys?

Well if you're having trouble thinking of kit you need then maybe that's not something you should spend it on. use it to finance an outing or three instead.

 

[Karl82]

save it and put it towards a ticket to this years Moot.

 

[Hrafnmann]

How about a round of ale for everybody in the bivouac here?

Spare cash, eh? How about socking it and save for a nice trip somewhere to use all your gear?

Mosquito net, bug suit, £100 worth Autan?
Seriously, I agree with those above, training is always money well spent.

+1 on that

My problem usually is I always seem to know what it is I want but not got quite enough cash, as soon as I have and I've got that sorted I know exactly what I need next and have to start again... would be sweet to have the cash and not know what to spend it on for a change haha.
