    Bearing in mind that I already own a Puuko, Mora Clipper, a Lannyman special and a Wilkinson Sword Dartmoor, I just bought a Fallkniven F1.

    What is it about shiny sharp things?

    Wasn't bought by me, but on saturday, shortly after the post arrived, my wife said to me "Since you know what it is, and it has just arrived, do you want your wedding anniversary present 5 weeks early?"

    I now have a bat detector, and have spent 2 nights in a row standing in the rain at 11pm grinning like a fool.

    Mind you, I did have to first take her out to the jewellers and buy her present 5 weeks early too
    Stupidity got us into this mess. Why can't it get us out?

    1.Actually it was yesterday; ordered a new (to me) rucksack. An issue CFP-90 www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9BzMJZHkGg After an offfer and a coulple of counter-offers the final price was $30 + $15.66 P&P for a total of $45.66. It should arrive by or before Saturday. No connections to the vendprin the video. That wasn't even my source! he just had the best video. LOL

    2. Not actually bought personally but rather a gift from my daughter and future SIL was a Real Deal Brazil tarp hat.

    Cain't wait to gaet some woods time with them; thunderstorms and floods keeping me indoors for the next week or so (apart from medical appointments this week)

    No, only to disturb, when they're out and about and away from the roost it's fine to watch and locate via a detector.

    I love the CRKT stuff , have had a KISS and a Stiff KISS for years and recently a good friend in the US managed to get me 2 Sampson's KISS in tanto and spearpoint, the latter of which is now never out of my pocket.

    Quite an interesting book on making dehydrated meals for out in the field and other general trail food.

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0...ls_o01_s00_i00

    Only had a brief skim read so far but what ive seen looks promising.

    Should go nicely with the dehydrator i am waiting to arrive.

    I dont understand your concern, we are in the woods with fire, an axe and a book to identify mushrooms ... what could possibly go wrong?

    Four Iowa ground anchors used for trapping but I will use them for securing my DIY hammock stand made from canoe poles. Now have all the parts and hope to set it up this weekend if it ever stops raining.
