Where did you get the stove? I ordered one from DX and finally had to contact them and was told it was backordered indefinitely. Apparently they were just going to hold on to my money without saying anything.

I got the stove on amazon. Searched "trail stove" and its the first result. The price worried me since similar stoves without ignition are usually three times that much but reviews were glowing and imfinding the same thus far
btw it really is tiny. Folds up and stores in that box just bigger than a pack of cigarettes

What a steal I got tonight.

I picked/stole this tent at a local auction tonight for $10.

Came with extra aftermarket stakes.

Just finished putting it up in the living room and all is like new.

Toothpick Jim, I'm really jealous of the deal you got on that tent! Good score!

Since blowing so much money in the last few weeks on stuff, I decided to just focus on little items for now. Things I need or can use for < $10 each buy. In the last week I have picked up:

Gerber shard for $6 on ebay. Don't know how useful it will be, but definitly looks cool and it's small so it'll be on my keys.
Image

2x Frogg Toggs green emergency poncho to replace the crappy ones I have in my bags. Picked them up for $3 each and they are 44x78" at only 2.8 ounces. I wanted something super light and for the price, this definitly beast the plastic thing I have in my bag now (walmart special).
Image

Bought a few handcuff keys (2 for me and some to give to friends). Prolly unnecessary but small enough to not notice on my keychain.
They are only $1 each on ebay with $1.65 shipping and any additional you buy is free shipping. So I picked up 5 for under $7. Item number: 130660741518, seller: dcgcoins. Seller shipped out fast and even sent me a delivery confirmation number.

I bought this stove on Amazon today. Being shipped from Hong Kong, so I should get it next year. Glad to hear it works well. Couldn't believe the price

On topic, I bought a bunch of gun stuff lately, but the one thing that's bugout related is a Hennessey Explorer Deluxe Asym.

Eugene: That's a beautiful rifle. May I ask, based on the thread topic, whether you plan on actually bringing that with you should you bug out?

On topic, didn't buy but won as a prize for the trivia at ZCON, a CRKT Eat N' Tool, which is like a spork with some wrench stuff on the handle. May replace or supplement my Ti spork.

I was, but my BOL is in WV and looking at their hunting regulations now it looks like .38 caliber is the minimum so unless things are really bad I can't legally hunt with it. I'm going to contact them and ask them though since my grandfathers grandfather used to hunt with it wouldn't it be grandfathered in before the min regulations?
My intent is for this to be my really really INCH layer, going to pick up a possibles bag and an old fashioned canvas pack. Separate out my gear layers so I have my Camelbak BOB, then my normal INCH layer comprised of the truck camper and such then a very primitive layer.

That's a rather unusual approach, but if it's a skill set you have, hey, why not use it, right? Have you thought about getting a .38 caliber percussion rifle, just for legal WV hunting? Might be easier than the hassle of trying to get an exemption. I don't know anything about costs, though.

No worries. I'm glad you like it.

That was something else I thought of too. In fact a couple of the accessories I've bought online turned out to be for .45 caliber and larger but I didn't return them because I thought maybe one of these days I might just buy a newer one. All the new ones seem to be .45, .50, and .54 caliber.

To get back more on topic, we bought these hats while we were at Cabela's, mine hanging on top of my BOB

In the last week I've been a member and posted purchases here... it's brought to my attention the amount of money I've been spending... Even though I promised myself to keep purchases small...
:crazy:

Discovered this gem. It's an AR15 essential parts kit for $30 from Choate Machine and Tool. Great reviews too (that's how I stumbled on it). And a price I couldn't ignore.

A Goal Zero 10 solar kit after recommendations from The Machinist and others here. Picked it up for $95 with free shipping on ebay.

Yesterday I just took a delivery of a Karrimor Urban 30 rucksack, for use on my way to work and when out cycling. I'm just starting to assemble what I'll be loading it out in, but it's got plenty of space in it for water bottles (including another recent aquisition, a 750ml Glogg Classic stainless steel wide necked waterbottle for when I'm at work) and a thermos flask for winter time.

The rucksack was a bargain at 14.99 with free postage & packing. Also came with a free mug from the store (and you can never have enough mugs at home!)

Lastly I picked up a basic little waist pack for £3, that'll help store away things when I enter my summer work shift.

( The Karrimor can be seen in TC's Urban Go Bag Thread, I went for the Black/Black as well: viewtopic.php?p=2072226#p2072226 )
