Your Best Bushcraft Purchase of 2012

[Mesquite]

As the title says...

What would you say was your best buscraft related purchase/s of 2012

For me it has to be my 9DLW Synmat, Jervens Thermo Kingsize bag and best of all was my Bushmoot ticket, two weeks in the woods with good friends

Strangely I can't think of anything bushie I bought in 2012 that changed my world. Didn't really buy anything thinking about it. Must be sorted for gear!

I'd be inclined to say the rip saw i just ordered. For some reason, i'm really looking forward to getting it. I have quite a large yew log (crotch), with loads of little twigs coming from it (pippy burr) that i want to cut up.

My best purchase was your old Mastino Smock - I've worn it a few times but it simply hasn't been cold enough for a proper test yet!

Cheers Steve

That's about my position too... My money is starting to go on trips more than gear.

The enjoyment lasts much longer.

I to would have to say membership here, getting back outdoors and meeting some fine folk too. The lifesaver bottle come a close second

merino long sleeved shirts. SO impressed with the first one I bought two more. They help keep me warm when out and about in the cold this year

Next on the list of kit is a new water proof jacket, tempted by the ridgeline monsoons

BCUK membership and the Wilderness Gathering. Both have helped me make some good friends and the Wilderness Gathering proved to me that I can do this stuff, all on my own

I got a pair of Gronnell Massiif boots & boy what a pair of boots they are, they will last a lifetime. Oh nearly forgot my Jack Russell bitch called Meg who is allowed out on New years day after her needles and stuff. She will be my constant companion.
