Just received another of these...

I have had my last one for a couple of years and it's still OK, but has seen a good bit of wear and tear. I know some will say it's no good by a fire etc etc, but at thirty odd quid, so what? OK, I don't live in the frozen North, but it's as warm as toast and windproof, the hood cinches up to keep your neck warm and the sleeves slide up my arms for messy and watery stuff.

Still using mine for work, taken one hell of a beating over the last couple of years but still going strong.

Ive got the same thing. If it's the same quality as mine, you won't regret the wait :-)

I second that.

I've not actually used mine yet but from a look over its quite decent quality considering

Looks like I made the bargain of the year with those skis I got for helping out the landlord :-)

With the help of a Norwegian outdoors forum I got them identified as a pair of Fischer E129 Tour S-Bound skis and they cost new 250£ and mine does not have any sign that they where ever used :-)

The bindings are a pair of Rottefella m98 NATO which is identical with the Rottefella Riva 1. Which is an old school 75mm ski boot binding that everyone on the Norwegian forums are raving about, but sadly for them is not produced anymore.

Anyway the thse are the words of the Norwegian importer: Fischer Europa 129 Tour has the same width and powerfull core as the Fischer Hunter skis, but with steel edges and a waxable sole. A favourite ammong hunters, ice fishers, the electric cable workers etc. The skis are also very good for down hill skiing.

All that gibberish tranlates to: I got myself a very good pair of bushcraft skis at the cost of some sore muscles :-)

Ok so stuffs arrived now. Still not impressed by the svord. Blunt as an egg beater, but have heard a lot about this being a problem. Won't take much to sort
The lk70, love it. It really is huge. Needs fettling and a stitch and see here n there, reproofing and the leather wants feeding. My kind of pack, lots of character about it.
Para cords here too, 100m of 3 mm. Happy days.
Time for another eBay-a-thon to raise more dosh for more toys:-)

Only a small item, but I bought a small Square Grill Pan in Aldi today. Only £3.49.

They also did small round Frying Pans and Mini Woks for the same price. Ideal for the lone camper!
