Favourite bit of kit for under £10
« on: August 02, 2011 »
Morning Rabble,

I've just received a £10 Gift Certificate from Amazon and it is burning a whole in my pocket!!!  

Rather than just blowing it randomly I thought I would open it up to the NI-Wilders for ideas:

:o Have you got a favourite bit of kit, that you go nowhere without?

::) Is there a book you've read that you found invaluable?

Remember it must be available on Amazon and cost less than a tenner.

I'm looking forward to hearing your suggestions and spending my tenner  ;)

Great Idea GF... Unfortunately, I have one already though and surprise surprise it's olive green and black.  Goes everywhere with me!!!

Top tip: if anyone else decided to go for one... Wash it before it's first outing.  I came home from a wet night in the hills with a lovely deep green coloured forehead and neck  ;D

I've always wondered what you called those things :D

I can't think of anything for under a tenner, but for a few quid extra I'd go for:

Bahco Laplander Saw

Leatherman Style CS

Thanks everybody for your great ideas...  I ended up going for Sheet 1 and Sheet 2 of the Ordnance Survey Ireland Discovery Series for my up and coming Glover Highlander walk in Donegal.

Total price £10.83 including postage and packaging from Amazon.  So taking off my £10.00 Gift Voucher, which I got from collecting points of my Amazon Credit Card, I got them both for £0.83p...

Bargain :)

I got a Laplander style saw for the princely sum of one pound from Poundland  ;D

It's maybe not as smooth as the real thing but it locks and cuts just fine. Must buy a couple more as back ups :)
