**Nova & Pinky** · 15-03-2011, 13:52

Have you bought any new 'shinies' today you'd like to show off?

To start off, I've just ordered myself a shiny new GB Wildlife hatchet....

Mini Atomic stove
Questionable Mental Health cook kit

**3bears** · 15-03-2011, 14:50

20 quid vanished in a flurry of keystrokes!

**TomBartlett** · 15-03-2011, 14:53

Recently, flights to Sweden

**kiltedpict** · 15-03-2011, 14:54

Not shiny but green- picked up my customised double-ventile smock from Hilltrek. They added side zips, upper sleeve pockets on each arm, kangaroo type pouch pockets raised to allow use with hip belt and new style wired hood. Oh and they sewed on my BCUK badge on for me too. Not cheap, but quality rarely is!

Will write up a review with pics when I've had a chance to use it in anger.

Quite a character - sounds like his missus doesn't like him in the house much. I'm not surprised… ;-)

**zarkwon** · 15-03-2011, 16:29

I thought about it too when I saw his latest vid last night but decided I can live with fanning with my sit mat for now. You lot aren't helping me resist though. Have you seen the new stove from Tinny Rich? A smaller version of the squirrel cage. Looks good. Let me know how you get on with the mini-atomic and QMH kit. I was worried they may be a bit small so didn't go for them but they do look good and if not too restrictive then may relent.

I don't think the MA will be much use for cooking anything apart from dehydrated stuff, I've got it more for just making a quick brew when I'm out and about. Been meaning to get one for ages so we'll see how it goes.
As for the Airgrill, well it just had to be done. I can see someone chucking it in the fire one day though when that squealing gets a bit much

Should be handy for a little forge in the field too I thought

This is happening a lot recently…. Cold Steel Trailhawk, Joker folder, not to mention the dreaded Members Classifieds. At least I am off-loading stuff at almost the same rate.
