What did you buy today?

**screwdriver** · 15-03-2011, 18:32

a snug pack ionosphere, as i had a change of heart on the stratosphere at the last minute (after i got in it)

**comeonbabylightmyfire** · 15-03-2011, 18:47

I bought a folding plastic mug, a packet of Esbit tablets and a bottle holder with a carabiner clip. I also bought a waterproof case with neck cord and a chunky multitool with a pouch. Added to this I took delivery of seven, yep count 'em, folding knives. One for every day of the week. I am haemorrhaging money on my new hobby but I'm happy and that's what counts.

**johnnythefox** · 15-03-2011, 19:01

seven knives in one go?

**slasha9** · 15-03-2011, 19:32

well...today two lots of Nescafe 3 in 1 coffee sachets for my expedition at end of month, two bivi poles from RVOPS for eldest ( I told him to get his own Jetboil Flash and Snugpak jacket! CHEEK)

oh yeah, got my SCHF9 earlier this week but we won't mention that.....

**Highbinder** · 15-03-2011, 19:56

My newest purchase has been a golite silnylon poncho tarp. Arrived the other day and I've only had the chance to try it out as a windbreak whilst I had a cup of tea this weekend,

I like it, packs down into a 1 litre exped drybag which is suhweet - a bit smaller than my '58 pattern poncho LOL. I intend to use it as my summer hammock tarp pitching it on the diagonal, and at the moment as it's cold and windy and rainy and snowy I can hang it up to block one of the sides of my DD tarp which is awesome.

Going to buy a Brusletto Balder too,

I have to admit I googled it when I saw him use it on his Finland trek video...

Shug's awesome but damn -26C bit of a nutter...

Not cheap, but quality rarely is!

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

ATB, kp

Sounds awesome, I'll be waiting for that review too.

**kiltedpict** · 15-03-2011, 20:01

Nonsuch- it is very much like yours.... I took your pics in to them and said "I'd like something this please" they replied " not another one, this picture is obviously doing the rounds!"

Thanks for unwittingly let me use your jacket for inspiration- will buy you a beer should we ever meet!

Look forward to hearing what you think of it when it's had some use.

Ooooh shiny. Can't wait to see how you finish it!

**durulz** · 16-03-2011, 15:02

I bought myself one of those square-shaped US 2L water bottles. And I'm currently making a leather shoulder case for it.

Yesterday I also got an Auscam tarp. It was given to me by a friend returning from Australia, as a belated birthday pressie; so I didn't actually buy it.

**johnnythefox** · 16-03-2011, 15:07

my kamasa saw just arrived signed for but the posty didnt bother and in a box so big it must of used up half a tree.

**comeonbabylightmyfire** · 16-03-2011, 15:09

Today I took delivery of yet another folding knife. A hiccup with yesterday's order meant a later delivery of the SRM T16 folding knife and saw. It's replacing the Bahco Laplander and Mora clipper in my bimble bag. My first impression is it's quite the workhorse, I can cut through two inch hazel branches with consumate ease. I also bought a compass from the £ shop.

**decorum** · 16-03-2011, 15:20

Not so much shiney, as to make shine

(Grade 0000 and not 00 as pictured)
