My top 3 purchases of 2010

Moot ticket
Basket making tuition at the Moot
Bison Ventile smock (a replacement for one that is getting too shabby to wear to work but which will still have years of wear in the woods!)

"3. Dragon's breath firestarting kit from Mr John Fenna 'I can make fire!'" - I am glad you like it enough to make your top 3 Effzedess!

Pandabean - I hope that you get years of use out of the knife I loved it in principal but it just did not fit my hand - and it seemed a shame to hack it about to fit!

1) Helle Lapplander Knife - most versatile large knife I have had the pleasure of using.
2) Set of 3 GB Axes - Forest, Small Forest & Hatchet, all brilliant, but I find I am using the Small Forest Axe the most.
3) Hmm, dunno about number 3, I'll get back to you on that.

I have made only one 'bushcrafty' purchase this year, a Bison Bushcraft Guide Shirt.

Very happy with it, very hard wearing and very comfy.
Everything else I made myself.

 

[Man of Tanith]

well this year i have been a major kit magpie and bought vast amounts.
also with birthday in december and christmas coming up i have gained some more that i influenced but didn't pay out for.
so i'm going to do two top threes if i can be that cheeky
top three purchases
1 SWC ray mears knife-i have already sold two of my collection of knives as this one fits the bill and has negated my need for anymore
2 The Woodlore Fundamental course i bought for lisa and myself and the Campcraft course i paid half of for myself. Superb tution excellent skills learnt and plenty to still develop.
3 karrimor predator 50litre pack and all the pcoket gubbins. a seriously impressive pack that is serving me well even in this weather

presents
1 woodlore osprey sleeping bag, sensational
2 honey stove amazing bit of kit wish i had one at start of year.
3 double edged bill hook. wow

 

[shortyman]

My top three for this year...

1) Swedish army stove (so cheap, so veratile)
2) all arms Bergen (great canoe bag)
3) zippo from eBay (had a fallout with turbo lighters)

 

[DaveBromley]

Hey Folks,

Without a doubt

1) Buffalo mountain shirt - absolutely beasted this already. Cycle 25 miles a day and this thing works. Kept me dry and warm even in the freezing january rain. I wore this baby to the outdoor show and its an amazing piece of kit.

2) Buffalo Superbag - need to take this out for some fun, however heating broke down over christmas for about a week. The house was freezing and the timing was when the big freeze started - Again this kit works - the best bit is..... It British, made in sheffield

3) My ebay Nikon D300 and carbon fibre tripod.
