Damn My paypal account!

just been surfing internet thinking about accessorising my lowe alpine sting and bought these:-
Eagle industries canteen pouch,
Old school British army aa torch,
portugese army canteen and cup
2 molle grenade pouches to put compas and head torch in.

It got me thinking about impulse buys, what impulse buys have the other members made today?

I didn't intend on buying anything either I was just surfing internet as I was bord.

Now I will have to work out a way to sneak them into the house without SWMBO seeing and gradually introduce them so she thinks I've always had them!

Being as how I've wanted one of these since I saw them recommended by Doug Ritter on ETS, here, I was delighted to (yesterday) accidentally come across a US company selling them!

The model I bought, the 06LL, is the military version of the civilian Katadyn 06, and it features extension handles and a velcro leg strap, both of which improve the usability over the civilian version.

These are brand new/unused/unissued desalinator's which have never been fitted into ejector seat survival packs or life rafts. These models have been treated (annually) with Biocide in accordance to the Katadyn service schedule, and are retreated prior to shipping to their new owner (me

).

The seller I chose had a very good history, with excellent feedback, particularly from buyers of this desalinator, and was the only seller offering fully serviced models.

Price was excellent, even with the forthcoming Import Duty, VAT and Parcel Force £8 Handling Fee.

With this desalinator and my Katadyn Pocket or Mini water filters, I can drink the water that I'm paddling on, which gives me a lot of capability from such small (8" x 5" x 2.5") light (2.5 lbs) gear.

I'm absolutely delighted, and am still grinning at getting this!

Only this saturday I stopped off at an army surplus store just to look & came out with an army poncho, the rubberised type not the rustly nylon one.
Apart from the obvious use us a poncho or shelter, I found that rolled up tight they make a superb padded rifle rest.

Cheers,
