*The* Gift-It-On Thread

[Mesquite]

wow Steve! - that's a cracker of a gift!!! .......must........resist..... ....

Go on... you know you want it Resistance is futile

It's been sitting around since I dyed it as I found it a tad snug when I had anything bulky on under it

I've now got a replacement that fits nicely so lets see this go to someone who'll use it

[g4ghb]

yup - but you have seen me Steve and I have a perfectly serviceable tent and tarp

[Mesquite]

yup - but you have seen me Steve and I have a perfectly serviceable tent and tarp

true but just think how much you could layer up under it

[g4ghb]

true but just think how much you could layer up under it

yup and I could spray it silver and pretend to be the hindenburg!

- surely there is someone out there that needs one!?

I'm really suprised it's still here the morning after.

If it's not claimed by the time I get home from work tonight I'll withdraw it and find something else that someone might like.

I already have one but it's a bit tight under my arm pits, i may be up for it Steve !! Do you think it would fit me Steve before i commit ? If so i've got a few bits and bobs i can gift on.

I don't know Andy.

What I'd suggest you do is measure your smock from armpit to armpit and see if yours is smaller or not. If it is smaller then you ought to be ok

Cheers Steve, i'll pass on this one and let someone else go for it i think.

[g4ghb]

[Andy2112]

I'm at work mate and it's 2 motorway drives home, lol, and not got net at home!!

Can we just put some stuff up for Gift it on anyway ?

[g4ghb]

why don't you accept it and then pass it on if it doesn't fit? - cunning huh!

[Andy2112]

Good idea, i'm a bit slow today, lol

Ok Steve, i'll have it.

in return i have:-

Chicken Pasta with mushroom rat pack meal
Mess tin, not an issue one but plenty big enough to take rats
Bits and bobs from rat packs, ie, soups, matches, chewing gum, marmite tube etc
Neck knife - skinner type, brand new still in the box.

And anything else i can fit in the mess tin as a bonus to the recipient !!!

[bushcraft_lad]

Is it my understanding you can only participate once ?

[Andy2112]

No mate, as many times as you want as long as you have something to gift on.

………

... what's up for offer at the moment?

The kirikadashi

[Nagual]

I wonder if to make things a bit easier and simpler for everyone, we use a basic format. Perhaps something like the following:

I'll take XXXX from wxyz

I OFFER XXXX

I'm sure someone will think of a better format, but it would make things a little more obvious?

[Asa Samuel]

Thanks decorum, that cleared things up a bit!

Nagual, that seems like the simplest format to use, the only thing is that if someone wants to take something quickly then have a look around for what they have they would need to use two posts anyway.

Wellll, they could fill in what they can, and where it comes to filling in what they offer, put TBC or something similar and then EDIT it in, so it all makes sense? To my mind that means it's all kept nice n neat, but then tis only a suggestion..

[g4ghb]

I'd rather it was kept to a 'I'll have it please post' then if when checked you were the first to post a 2nd post stating your gift on offer

That way if two people ask for an item it shouldn't get messy - plus there is less to type if you need to get in quick with a request to take an item

[locum76]

what happens if nobody takes an offer of, for example, a kirikadashi. The whole thing may grind to a halt....

[g4ghb]

I could happen true - but hopefully the gifter will notice and offer an alternative

[g4ghb]

Up for a gift ill add a small finger kirikadashi with leather handle

Any chance of a pic or two BL? - may help things along

[Biker]

No offense to Bushcraft Lad but I don't need another knife, so I'm poised and waiting to jump in here with what I have to offer. That smock would have been nice but I have several coats already.

Great idea g4ghb and yes I can see how something like this could get confusing.

So just to recap we're waiting on someone claiming Bushcraft Lad's kirikadashi knife with leather handle

Over to you.
