because it's a beaut to paddle and feels like a little bit of history
That is one seriously nice canoe!
I watched Water Walker for the first time last week and got all doey-eyed looking at the canoe. Maybe I had better start saving
Can you send me a PM when you have worked out the price.
Back on thread- last purchase was a Golite Hex 3 tipi tent because I heard they're so good (and they really are), I spent a few nights in heavy rain and strong winds and it didn't even flinch
. Packsize is nice and compact too so it fits in my smallest backpack.
Further to my last reply, and it being pay day on friday with no outgoings (so far) due and a weak dollar at the moment i've spent a lot of time browsing this site http://www.llbean.com/ It's all just soooooooo cheap

Hi All,
Just wondering, what's the latest bit of kit you've brought and why? I thought it might be a good way of seeing if there are any trends and adding things to a "wish list" for the future.
I've just brought one of those niffty looking pocket folding stoves (seconds) as they look like a handy alternative to camping gas and hexi cookers.
I've also just brought this! Because I've always wanted one.
Cheers,
J
Are we talking about brought.. as in "bring with you", or "bought" as in 'purchased'..???
A new Swanndri Ranger shirt. I have one already but is to large ( unless I put it over a couple of heavier layers, best for Canadian fall and Winter ) But I found it perfect with just a t-shirt under it in the morning when in the rockies last month , so I dropped down a Size!
Cheers.
Cheers.
Please forgive my appallingly confusing spelling Cairodel! A thousand apologies!
Have you purchased anything interesting lately? A canoe of the desert perhaps?

Splashed out on the Paramo 2 for 1 travel shirts offer for me and bought the kids one of the Decathlon tarps so they dont keep pinching my Ozzie hootchie!
2 space blankets for a £ and a packet of hammer in two part large eyelets from Millets £2.99 and a pink Swiss Card for £7.50
I'm a cheapskate and I really don't need any more kit, but it's amazing how many *good things* lie in wait
cheers,
Toddy

To keep the weight down on a cross scotland canoe trip (Rannoch Moor to Perth)
And because my MSR dragonfly sounds like a flight of F10 tankbusters.

I've always wanted a handmade scandi grind bush knife. A friend in Alaska started making knives recently and I bought this one from him.
It has a 1/8" thick 4 5/8" differentially hardened O-1 tool steel blade. It's hardened to 59-60 on the edge making for ease of sharpening but still holding an edge well.
The handle is linen micarta.
It should arrive at the end of the week. I can't wait to give it a workout!
The sheath for it is the one on the left.

I like that Alaskan jobby Yonderer - nice fine lines - it should be a demon for slicing and push cuts. I'd be interested to hear how you get on with it since Scandys are far less common over there
