Did Santa bring you any Bushcraft kit?

[Zammo]

He got me a Sabre 45 ruck sack, a thermos flask (bit to big for bushcraft though) and I was suprised to also get three Osram Dot-it LED lights.

These little things can be attached anywhere and have a sticky pad on the back, you then press the centre to switch on the three very powerful LEDs contained inside.

I'm not sure why Santa got me three but I may swap or sell two.

I didn't get much bushcraft stuff... a knife, thats about it lol. I got £25 which will go on some boots i've had an eye on in TKMaxx, and a Mead Horn ( http://www.asatru.org/wtree/drinkhrn.jpg ) which can be fun when your a Viking like me

Hi Folks. We all seen to be doing really well from Santa. Proves we must all have been very good over the last 12 months. I got the Bushcraft folding Bucksaw, a copy of the Animal Tracks & Signs with the Foreward by RM and the Collins Gem Food for Free. Feeling very lucky. I'll be off tomorrow to try out the new saw in the local woods.
As a result of Santa's generosity I now have a spare copy of the Collins Guide to Animal Tracks & Signs by Bang & Dahlstrom, the 1980 edition. If anyone would like it then just PM me.
Enjoy your pressies.

i got a small wilkinson sword pruning saw. it's larger brother has a very aggressive sawing action (as anyone who has seen it in action can testify) so i expect great things from it.

Don't worry. It's Christmas. Just pass the horn round and we'll forgive you!

 

[Bushwacker]

I got a very nice bottle of Jim Beam black label. very smooth, sweet, kinda caramely. won`t be much use for cutting kindling, cooking banock etc. but by heck, you get a good nights sleep with it!

 

[spamel]

A small GB hatchet (nice!), a Spydie UKPK (very nice!) a couple of bushcraft DVDs, a thick woolen zip front jacket/heavy shirt, looks like it may be warmer than my Swanni Ranger shirt I got for my birthday, and there is a 12 cm zebra billy can stuck in the postal system somewhere between here and Sheffield, that's from my dear old mum. Well in mum, good choice!

I also got a great idea for a portable grill that popped into my head this morning whilst I was putting some good german beer away, I will be working on the prototype soon so keep watching the forums for details!! It will be lightweight and big enough to cook a few sausages and bits of bacon on, and will fold flat to stow behind my pack frame so it won't take upp storage space in my bergen and won't get my kit dirty (hopefully!)

 

[Harmonica]

I got a GB Small Forest Axe so now i can go and book a place on the Axe Workshop course with Woodsmoke Also got a canoeing dry bag from the girlfriend so better book a canoe course too! My new leatherman and turboflame lighter may just come in handy in the woods too but the axe is still my best pressie

 

[Big John]

I got a small adze, bowyers bible pt1, Mors Bushcraft, a rather nice flint striker/steel & tickets to see Ray Mears (well technically i bought it, but now ma & pa have bought it off me, if you see what I mean!).

Can't wait to give them a try,

Merry Christmas all,
