We are all individuals

[spamel]

I just can't see the point in the thread, unless it is a pop at kit folk without actually saying anything and letting those who post condemn themselves as not being individuals. Not really much point to it otherwise.

[big_daddy_merc]

Laplander saw - no, but have a tesco's own as i don't need it that often
Crusader cup - no, have a s/steel insulated mug
Granfors axe - no, but have a non branded axe
LK35 rucksack - No,as i don't think i'd get away with having any more rucksack's, already have five of different sizes
Sabre 45 - no
Frosts mora knife - no, but have a good lock knife
Swiss army knife - no, don't see the point of them
Woodlore knife - No
Swedish military trangia - no

i'm not the kind of person to buy named brands just for the sake of it, mainly as i have a low budget for my gear so i have to choose a good cheaper version, unless there isn't a cheaper version then i'll save for it(mainly big item's of kit)

[locum76]

none of the above. i just make do and improvise.

[madrussian]

Laplander saw - No - Just a cheap folding saw.
Crusader cup - US Military cup
granfors axe - No
LK35 rucksack - No - US Military again
sabre 45 - No
frosts mora knife - Not sure if its a frost, but do have a mora
swiss army knife - Yes - Many
woodlore knife - No - too expensive
swedish military trangia - Yes - one for each family member.

[Too Much Kit To Carry]

Laplander Saw - Yes
Crusader Cup - Yes have one on order
Granfors Axe - SFA and Wildlife Hatchet
LK35 Rucksack - No
Sabre 45 - No
Frosts Mora Knife - Yes have stainless steel version on oder for a coastal trip

[Ahjno]

I won't say anything about copying using good kit, already nuff said.

Laplander saw
No - But I do own a cheaper version.

Crusader cup
Yes

Granfors axe
No

LK35 rucksack
No

Sabre 45
No - But I do own a Sabre 60-100

Frosts mora knife
No - Clipper

Swiss army knife
Yes - long before I knew how to spell 'bushcraft' - when I was young lad. IMHO it's a privilege to own a knife. It's something we should uphold and defend.
By giving a knife to a young person you show them you have faith they will use it wisely. Of course you should inform and guide them about rules and safety aspects.
This way they learn to use it as a tool, not a weapon.

Woodlore knife
No - But I have a AW knife, and it's not a Woodlore clone ... well ... for 50% it's not

Swedish military trangia
No - Far too heavy for my liking, though I have a Trangia burner

EDIT:
BTW: Welcome to the forum Wilekayote Hope we see you more overhere! Why not introduce and tell something about yourself in the Introductions & Welcomes section?

[Rebel]

Only the SAK, that's because no other manufacturer makes the same item with the same quality but I do find myself using my multi-tool more often than a SAK these days.

I do have all the other stuff but made by different manufacturers. That doesn't make me more individual though it just means I found an alternative brand, usually at a lower price. Of course you can't get much cheaper than a Mora but I figured I'd like something a bit more expensive, but much cheaper than a Woodlore.

[Toddy]

Laplander saw - Yes
Crusader cup (with a Warthog 1981 lid ) - Yes
granfors axe - Yes
LK35 rucksack - No
sabre 45 - No
frosts mora knife - Yes
swiss army knife - Yes
woodlore knife - No
swedish military trangia - Yes

It's all practical kit.

cheers,
Toddy

[Bozle]

So Kayote just to make this more complete, which items in the list do you own?

[Feral]

I have a few sak's and my knife maybe a mora ( I bought it 25 years ago, lost it and found it again two years ago), but I do own a zebra billy.

[demographic]

How many of these do you own:

Laplander saw Nope

Crusader cup Nope

granfors axe I don't own any woodland so don't have an axe either, well apart from the hatchet that lives in my carpenters toolbox that more often than not gets used as a wedge that the labourers won't throw away at work, I also have a Maul for splitting wood for the fire but have recently ripped out the fireplace to replace it with a woodburner, then not got one yet.
If I need to cut something at work I have more cutting tools than you could shake a stick at.
Most of them more precise than an axe.

LK35 rucksack Nope, think mines a Lowe Alpine

sabre 45 Huh?

frosts mora knife Got a Frosts knife but its one of the small carving ones with a two or so inch blade.

swiss army knife Although my first knife was a Swiss army Knife (mother bought it for me when I learned to read) I don't think I currently own one, my wife has a swiss champ though and keeps it in her handbag for cutting threads and all sorts of stuff.

woodlore knife Now you're getting silly, way too expensive.

swedish military trangia Yep, it lives under the seat in the van and cost a tenner from the local camping shop.

[mace242]

Laplander saw: no - got a cheapie version of some sort - found it clearing out a relatives garage.
Crusader cup: no
granfors axe: No - Got a small axe of uncertain origin - again picked up clearing the garage.
LK35 rucksack: No. Highlander Forces 88 and Forces Day
sabre 45: nope - got one of some sort in my survival kit
frosts mora knife: nope - but soon to.
swiss army knife: Yep
woodlore knife: how much??? ;-)
swedish military trangia: nope - use greeheat mini stoves

As I'm pretty new to bushcraft I'm using cheap and or scrounged kit. No one thing cost over £50. In fact I'm pretty reluctant to ever spend any more than £50 on any one thing as if I kill it in the outdoors I don't want to be cross at the expense of replacing it.

The post was actually a mistake, I was just playing with the poll option, I've only just realised it actually went through. Anyway

Laplander saw - no
Crusader cup - yes
Granfors axe - nope
LK35 rucksack - yes
Sabre 45 - yes
Frosts mora knife - yes
Swiss army knife - yes
Woodlore knife - No
Swedish military trangia - yes

I didn;t really need the LK35, Crusader cup or trangia but they were so cheap and such good things written about them here I couldn't resist. So I guess maybe the post was reassuarance that I wasn;t the only one. Pretty happy with all of them except the trangia - its well made and great price but a bit bulky and slow to boil even compared with other meths options.

[gregorach]

none of the above. i just make do and improvise.

I know for a fact you've got a Frost Mora. There's no use trying to hide it, you're one of us now! The clone army is swelling!

Ever wonder what percentage of the population owns at least one pair of blue denim jeans?

I own a couple of SAKs, Mora's and a homemade woodlorish knife. Iraised the grindlines on the woodlore and It's a great knife. i only need to make a sheath or have one made.

I don't horrible things!

[weekend_warrior]

out of the hundreds of things I own - only 4 appear on that list. I own a hyundai - does that make me a korean clone?
