Okay, chatting to someone recently and was talking about the kndness I have been shown on this forum.
So, free to the first PMs are
A BCB Ranger Flint and Striker GONE
A BCB Fireball Flint and Striker GONE
A Frosts Mora 760C Knife GONE
All are brand new and never used. They are entirely free including postage.
Nice if these went to people who are short of a bob or two or who are new to Bushcrafting and want to try things out.
The only price is this - sometime, if you find yourself with a surplus of something, pass it on to a new Bushcrafter.
First PMs get the stuff

Great sentiment Red. I've given you rep - and when I get in my bits and pieces box, I'll try to do a simliar thing. You've inspired me.

I joined in with this last night with and put up FOC inc. P&P two small arms slings that I had knocking around - here (http://www.bushcraftuk.com/community/showthread.php?t=16872)
The thread didn't get any replies but the two slings went prett quick - and importantly to me they went to two good chaps that will get some use from them. :D
It's nice to be nice to nice people ;)

Hoping to move back to Scotland soon, When we have are big clear out I will post what I find :)
Nice one Red
Sorry to Red and TMKTC, I'm not allowed to rep you at the moment, the computer says no!!! Top job though, I'm gonna have a dig around and see what I can find. For big items though, could a donation be made to the site from the reciever? If it is surplus and sitting around, it would be nice to think the site may benefit too.

Thanks for the kind words all - as I said its little enough repayment for all the help, advice and kind gifts from site members!
Oh...BTW - I'm amazed none of the US members have snapped up the paracord from weaver....bet it would have gone in a minute over here!!
The three items are packaged up and will go off when I get near a postbox.
Have a few more bits to sort through next weekend
Red
Well, Red I agree! A lot of folks are paranoid over here.
So, I'll change my offer. I'll send Red a half roll of paracord and he can distribute as he sees fit. (half roll is 600 feet.)

It only goes to show that, at times, the world isn't a bad place after all. Certainly makes me feel good. Well done Red and thanks for getting the ball rolling. :)

Ooops sorry Red, I have got to spread my reps around a bit before I can rep you again :(
P@ul
thanks for the idea red as a matter of fact i will see what i can dig out and put it up here aswell

Beachlover gave me a lidl cookset.
I had a load of bits, but I gave them all to Alex905.
Ill see if I can find any more.
It's very cool that people dont mind passing on equiptment safe in the knowledge that the reciever would pass on their unused stuff.
I'm an 18yr old student, so im pretty poor! I'm trying to get a collection on the go but its not working to well without much money, so if anyone has anything they would like to send my way feel very free :p
shame i dont get to check these forums much as i know the items go quick! i guess i may be lucky sometime :(

Keep looking Bunnerz, theres a few more bits to come! Weaver is sending some line over from the states and Leon B still has some bits available.
What were you looking for BTW?
Red
bunnerz heres (http://www.bushcraftuk.com/community/showthread.php?t=16886&highlight=paying) my thread, i still have a few things left that you might want
leon
Thanks for the link! cant be greedy though I already have a couple of mess tins
Im after anything really. I help an old tutor from college teach bushcraft as I have the skills (just not the equiptment), hes got most of the stuff we need. I just use his, but when I start getting out alone and get along to some of the meets, im gunnu have to invest in some stuff.
I pretty much just have a simple Mora Clipper (which needs a good sharpen), flint and striker, a home made leather pouch, mess tins....and thats basicaly it in the way of equiptment!
Obviously I have a couple bags and all clothing etc, its just I need to build up my equiptment with some better knifes, Im looking to buy a hatchet, small stove, a decent tarp, and other essentials (ok ok the knife is the only essential...but you know what I mean :lmao: )
Oh and also after a sharpening stone? I guess they arent expensive though so if anyone has any simple advice?

Hi Bunnerz,
Take a look at the £5 sharpening kit here - that'll take care of both your home and field sharpening needs mate
http://www.bushcraftuk.com/community/showthread.php?t=11571
If you need any of the papers etc. or a bit of guidance in getting started, just give me a shout. I'm going to have a dig through my gear soon, if I come across a stove, I'll give you a call - probably only be a hexi job though :o
Red
Bl**** hell weaver thats kind!
I may keep a few feet :o, but most will be on here shortly after it arrives . I'd rep you again if I could!
Red
You can't mate, but I can, have some rep weaver.:)
Im not too sure what im looking at there red!
I cant afford anything until after christmas thats for sure! :lmao:
cheers though man
It's a cheap affordable sharpening kit.
Effectively some bits of wood or board with Wet 'n' Dry attached to them in various grades. It means rather than forking out a lot of money for an expensive set of stones you pay for a few bits of wood and some wet 'n' dry.
