    What you going to buy next/On wish list?

    Whats on your next/wish list? New brew kit, Stove, Tent, Hammock, Tarp, Knife, Saw, Axe, Tool, Backpack, Sleeping bag, Sleeping mat, Tool? Etc etc etc..

    Thought it would be a good idea to start a thread about what is on your wish list or what you're planning to buy next and why so why can share ideas and maybe get new ones.


    I'll start us off...

    Next:
    *DD Frontline Hammock (Or other brand)
    *DD 3x3 Tarp (Or other brand)

    -I have been tempted for a while to try a hammock/tarp setup for various reasons so think this is going to be my next big purchase.

    Wish list:
    *Jungle Green Osprey Exos to replace my Grey/Orange version.
    Or different pack altogether (pref olive/green or brown).

    -Love Exos pack but don't like the color. Was waiting for one to come on ebay for a while and although didn't like the color the price was a bargain.

    Some wool cloth to make a shirt - much more satisfying making than buying

    Stuff I need:
    A bigger tarp, a lighter tent.

    Stuff I fancy, but could live with out:
    A bota bottle, USGI cookset.

    Stuff I would like someone to get for me, as I'm too tight to buy them myself:
    Mini Peak II, Haglofs rugged mountain pants.

    I'm also on the hunt for material to mod a couple of pairs of trousers I have, which are still good to go, except for the frayed leg ends. I intend to trim / replace the frayed ends and reinforce the knees and backside. Might prove to be a complete waste of time, but if the idea in my head, translates to practical modifications, I'll have more usable walking / camping trousers, which is not a bad thing.

    Hammock of some kind, maybe the highlander nova as its tarp mossie net and hammock combined for 45 quid.

    Kernoweck - I got a 1.7lt bota last week and its really cool, more convenient than my nalgene bottle.

    , fancy a bigger DD tarp, love there kit, winning euro-millions lottery ticket.

    Top of my wish list : all former, and serving services personnel and families treated with the respect they deserve, and given as much assistance as they need, instead of screwing them over,

    sorry, but you did ask............... cheers Ian...

    A large bergan type rucksack. Prefarably one with detachable side pockets that can be made into a daypack. Should be around 100liter capacity.
    A 3 season sleeping bag.
